June Acquisitions...No June Swoons!

i got these two bretts the last two weeks.

Went to a show today in Conroe TX. Really good show that had quite a bit of vintage. I was able to add a few cards to my Kaline collection and also picked up a PSA 6 Sinkwich for my 1955 Topps All-American set. Not card related but there was also a dealer with a game used baseball grab bag and I pulled a Marcell Ozuna Double from 2014.

Beautiful Mays Monte. Congrats. Love the Cubs autos! Wow on the ‘71 Benches. I would have snatched up that 8.5 if you didn’t beat me to it.

Here are my pickups from REA. The Jackie has a wrinkle in the upper left at the bottom of the border but I was in love with the centering and color. Getting close on the ‘56 HOF set now. Love ‘54 Topps and only had one red background so decided to go for the Rizzuto.

These are incredibly difficult to find and they are representative of three different pickups that just happened to arrive on the same day accounting for a marvelous mail day and a jolly June jump off. Realistically, I would describe the three individual team examples as likely to grade out as poor and that’s ok with me especially for the 1967. As for the other ‘67 specimen, I do think there’s some pretty good potential for a relatively high grade on the solo player example; I use the term “relatively” because these simply don’t and can’t really earn very high grades because of the nature of issuance and the stock, a very thin and delicate magazine-like paper quality that is now fifty to sixty years old.

Without further ado, I am ecstatic to share these new additions to kick off the first month of summer…

New to the forum and love the idea of a monthly member pick-up thread. What a great way to see a wide variety of cool cards from all ages.

This is my contribution, purchased yesterday. Certainly not the smoke show quality of others I’ve seen on this thread, but my requirements were simply ‘better-than-decent centering and nice eye appeal for the grade’, and I didn’t want to bust my budget. I like it

Don't matter if you got a $1.00 card or a $1,000,000 card. You got it and you like it, post it.

Here are a few new ones back from
PSA

Two nice condition Yanks for my quest to collect the two World Series teams from 55-56.

I bought this for myself for Father’s Day then notified my family.

1 closer on my 72 team

The latest '58 addition to the set.

Can't Stop Buying Harper's!

But These are the Gems of the Month... So Far!

Thanks to FORUM Member KC for the opportunity to Purchase the Aaron - I understand there were multiple parties interested...

Have a weakness for those shiny die-cut inserts....could be worse.

Not here yet but FedEx says they will arrive today. At a point where I feel some types cards may make sense for SGC, some for PSA. Auto cards of any quantity mixed in with non-autoed cards for $15, that appealed so built up a batch for them. Also slowly working on an older Leaders cards collection that I think I will run through them.
