Wow, two '73 PSA 9 Deron Johnson pick-ups in the past few weeks! I just picked up this one for my 1973 set. It just passed eBay Authentication and is enroute.
Sold my Rickey 1980 PSA 9 and with same dough bought this. It’s not perfect, however pretty high grade for a 51 Bowman. Would you send in for reholder?

Awesome card and I would swap a Rickey RC for that every time!

My dad passed away a little over two years ago. One of his favorite players was Thurman Munson. I remember when I was a kid in the 80s when he told me the story of Thurman dying in a plane accident and when he cried during the ceremony the Yankees held the next day. I didn't understand until I was older why my Dad would cry about a player that he never knew personally.
My dad never got around to starting his Munson set, so I thought I'd do it in his memory. I picked up these cards in February. The 1971 Munson when it comes to baseball cards, really does not get any better, the trophy, the action shot, and the black borders. While a PSA8 is probably out of range for now, I found this really nice centered PSA7 recently. Arriving the same day was his 1974 topps card in PSA8 as well. I wish I could show them to him. However, it is great having this board to share my collection with.
Display them proudly, I'm sure your dad can see them.

If this were the 80s Deron Johnson would make the Beckett Monthly Hot List. Congrats on the pickups.

I added another hall of famer to my Dormand postcard collection. This Johnny Mize PSA 6.5 is the 2nd highest graded. There is just one 7 higher. The photography from this set is fantastic.

I've submitted several high grade examples and could never snag a 9.

Mail day for Daniel! A couple of '66 Topps High Numbers. I started collecting the Hi series in July 2022 - down to only needing 4 now.
66 high #s are a challenge. The Grant Jackson and Gaylord Perry are really tough in top condition. Took me 2 years to complete the set back in the 80s. All raw but a fun time. What other 4 do you need and what condition are you looking for?
I had a 1986 Topps rack box directly from a sealed case that was missing the All-Star card in the first cell on all but just a few of the racks in that box. The other 5 boxes all had their All-Star cards. Never seen a missing cell, though.

that's my 1st time seeing an empty cell...Pretty Cool...if that Rack was my mine; I'd be making a phone call to schedule some Wrapping time, then take a 50 minute road trip and have that Rack Wrapped...then take a pic of the Wrapped Rack and post up that image on the monthly Pick-Up topic...

2013,14 and 15 Certificate Award Winner Harmon Killebrew Master Set and Master Topps Set
Picked up a couple of boxes of 1988 Topps American. Each box contains 48 packs.

I had to Google the currency conversion, but 12p is equal to 15 cents at today's rate. I could be wrong, but I vaguely recall back in the 80s that the pound was much stronger then and the conversion was closer to $2 per pound, so maybe these were the equivalent of 20-25 cents a pack in 1988.
I have only opened one pack so far out of curiosity. The cellophane wrapper allowed for an easy peek at the back card, and with the front of the player card facing out, I found many with stars showing. There were 5 cards per pack and a delicious looking piece of gum welded to the back of the last card. They are a bit smaller than the standard sized card. The backs had a player related cartoon, a facsimile autograph, a little blurb about the rules of baseball, and an interesting weight conversion. Andre Dawson weighs 195 pounds, or 13 stone 13 pounds for those that find that conversion useful.
The Montana was a self sub from a raw eBay purchase. Getting closer to completing that set.
The 1998 Topps Tek AROD cards are 72 of the 90 base patterns and 42 of the 90 Diffractor patterns. The Diffractor will head out on this month’s special. Could not pass that Tek lot up.

I am a BIG Munson fan too. That guy was just the coolest. I love getting his cards too. He didn't get to play long, but has some of the most iconic cards from all the 70s.
That 78 is one of my all-time favorites.
For many collectors, even non NYY fans, the 1971, 1973, 1976 and 1978 are iconic cards and imagery. To a lesser degree the 1970 and 1977. Excellent given the fact there were only 10 regular Topps cards issued during his career.
Unless otherwise specified my posts represent only my opinion, not fact.
Landed one that has been very elusive for me - went to two straight Nationals before this card blew up looking for a nice 8 and couldn’t find one. Once an 8 was out of my range kept being the underbidder on 7s that I liked (wow there are a lot of ugly 7s of this card). Excited to get this one. The bright colors on this one is what made me really want it. Paige has so few cards - I am really excited to have one of his in my collection. It stinks that there were no Negro League Cards during its tenure (also stinks that MLB was segregated for so long). so many greats that do not have playing days cards.

Won this one tonight and needed it for my high end Bench run. For some reason I sold a nice 8 a few years ago for no apparent reason, so needed another one to fill the hole.

@hankcaddy The ‘73 Deron Johnson is a very tough 9! 👍

Nice Munson cards! That is cool to remember your Dad that way...

That may not be perfect, but the vibrant colors on that make up for any imperfection. Super-sweet!
That Ted Williams looks great in that holder, personally I would leave it.
Awesome card and I would swap a Rickey RC for that every time!

Love the oldies. Collected the 69's and 70's straight out of packs. Good times.
A card that doesn't cost much.. Compared to some others in the set.
