Here's my contribution...centering on the back is as good as it gets for the issue, unfortunately.

I picked up this 1929 R316 5x7 Photo Jimmy Foxx as a compliment to my 1929 Kashin.

Love it! I’ve said it on here numerous times, but I’d love to start a Foxx registry someday. Awesome cards!

1951WheatiesPremium · April 2, 2024 11:10AM

The ink stinks.

Granted.

But I’m still really, really, really happy.

1968 Bazooka Complete Box - Mickey Mantle

At least the ballpoint ink is off the images...nice boxes!

Thanks, Monte!

ETA:
Yes, I have entertained freeing the card as they’re pretty nice though imperfect. And there’s sort of 4 options - box, panel, card panel and card. I am still undecided at this time but all are a part of the master set.

NGS428 · April 2, 2024 4:46PM

Couple more Jr rookies. Well, the Bowman is his Pop’s card, but jr makes a cameo.

I’m one of Mickey’s biggest fans in this board.

You could make a strong case that Foxx was not as good but actually better.

I think the sadness and bad luck that surrounds Jimmie’s playing and post playing days of his career hurts his legacy some, like it or not.

imagine if Foxx had a normal decline and was able to continue playing at a high level into his mid-late 30's

I think the same could probably be said of both men; alcohol shortened and eventually ruined both men’s careers.

Like the late, great Mitch Hedberg said, Alcoholism is a disease but it’s the only disease you can get in trouble for having; people say ‘Dammit, Otto, you’re an alcoholic!’ But you never hear, ‘Dammit, Otto, you have lupus!’

Hi Abe, wanna spot me a few thousand? 🤣

Low pop of 12 on this PSA 10 Jr.

Somehow that card really pops! Just amazing.

I agree the print on it is as good as it gets. Couple that with the centering and really catches the eye.

pab1969 · April 5, 2024 9:04AM

Always wanted this card:

Outstanding centering on that Brett PSA 9….great eye!

pab1969 · April 6, 2024 8:38AM

I love the multi-autos.

ndleo · April 6, 2024 8:56AM

I got this Bonds in a lot I purchased. I thought it was a normal refractor, but I think it could be a gold. How can I tell the difference? Is the gold serial numbered? This card doesn't have a serial number that I can see.

stwainfan · April 6, 2024 12:49PM

Working on the Bench run.

balco758 · April 6, 2024 12:51PM

Wife brought me a gift home from Japan.

UlyssesExtravaganza · April 6, 2024 3:27PM

Its worse than it looks from this pic, bend/warping on the bottom edge, but that's what I liked about it, until you squint at it it looks pretty nice.

junkwaxgems · April 6, 2024 4:35PM

Two very elusive cards finally added!

All of the “regular” (1:4 packs) 2002 Topps chrome refractors are gold bordered, there are no silver bordered refractors that year. Just gold and black.

ndleo · April 7, 2024 4:37AM

Thanks Junkwaxgems. I don't collect much modern baseball but this card may stay in the PC.

BaltimoreYankee · April 7, 2024 9:47AM

Technically a March pickup but still my newest addition. I was really happy that this '67 High Number is just as nice in hand as it looked on eBay:

I read a biography of Foxx that claimed he was not a big drinker.

Just got this Saturday at the Chantilly show.

Congrats. I know Colavito is one of the toughest cards in the ‘67 set. That one is a beauty.

Great card. Me as well. This is on it’s way to Darth Grader now. Hopefully the force is with me. Expecting a 4-5. Highest is a 1.5

stwainfan · April 8, 2024 1:39PM

Got this at a great price.

pab1969 · April 8, 2024 1:43PM

It's been a great month so far:

balco758 · April 8, 2024 4:09PM

Love Pops and price was too good to pass up.

ndleo · April 9, 2024 6:17AM

I pulled two Will Levis redemptions from 2023 Leaf Metal Draft. I waited about 6 weeks and got an email that the card was in transit. I got the package yesterday and unfortunately Leaf informed me that Will Levis did not sign the card I was supposed to get........then I saw the replacement.........a 1/1.

I have one more coming today and I can't wait to see what I get! For comparison, I still have a 2019 Kyler Murray waiting at Panini.

Wanderlust collecting. Tinkering. "Hey those Admirals would look nice on the shelf" approach. With a random attempt at cutting a Pete out of a mag. In other words having fun.
