    I’m a big hunter fan too. Folks like to bag on his stats but he was pretty awesome and just a winner.

    The fastest pitcher (Catfish Hunter) to 200 wins since Christy Mathewson Then …arm problems ended his career early preventing him from 300 wins . He ended with 224 wins.

    Been watching this card for a few years, always loved the image. Large majority are way off L/R. This one is graded appropriately, there is paper loss on the back but front is beautiful.

    I absolutely love cards like this where the technical grade is dragged down by a flaw on the reverse, but the front image just blows you away. Great find!

    Thanks! I am actually trying to make my purchases going forward more towards high end but the collector in me couldn’t pass on this one.

    Amazing that Mathewson was a Cincinnati Red and then was traded at age 19 I believe - what could have been….

    I always liked Catfish. He was an underrated pitcher as a 5-time World Series Champion. I recently picked up his first solo card, a 1966 Catfish Hunter.

    Beautiful card !

    Ive been getting into tickets more lately, but am still plugging away at my 1979 Topps auto'd set. Landed one of the big four monsters this weekend. (This, Aaron, Munson, Byron McLaughlin (which I have - look up his story if you are unfamiliar, its facinating) being the others.)

    Now down to just 19 autos needed to complete the set!!!

    That's probably the coolest card I've seen in a long time. Congrats!

    How much did it sale for is one of the funniest and most ignorant things I've ever heard.

    A new addition to my Killebrew Master set.

    Way to go on this one! I know you are a big fan of Killebrew (as I was in his later playing days).

    Thanks! I got to watch most of his career here with the Twins. Tremendous power and an even better person.

    I wish PSA would be more reasonable with the cost of grading bottlecaps.

    I know these don't really have much value, if any, but I just HAD to have it. Silly me.

    I think whomever created that could have safely filled in JoeBanzai on the To: line!

    A card I bought as a teenager in the mid 80's. I had mailed it away back then for an Autograph.

    A POP 1 with None Higher.

    That's awesome. I just sent in a stack of HOF autographs I got as a kid in the 80s for last month's special. Several have passed since then but no Brooks. Can't wait to get them back.
