Had some record poor results opening 14 packs of 1980 Topps football. Was rough cause I pulled the right cards. 2 Lester Hayes, 2 Largents, Payton Bradshaw. All had about 97/3 left to right centering. Worst centering I've ever seen. But I liked this one a lot. What would you say this would grade with PSA or SGC today? How about PSA in 2008? May just keep it raw. Love the All-Pro banners.
great card 80 topps football is a tough set to find great centered cards. topps cutting presses were downright awful for the 80 topps football set.
However, I didn't know that he played minor league baseball.
Sammy Baugh played for the Rochester Red Wings - International League and the Columbus Red Birds - American Association; I’m sure he realized his true talents were in FB. In 46 games, he committed 11 errors.
I came across this auto pic as a baseball player - was a pretty nifty find for me.

For real. I used to dislike the set but I’ve grown to really like it as a favorite from the 80s.
It is so TOUGH to get centered ones. Drives me crazy.

I like your Home Laundry one...
That's Pretty Cool...👍🏈
I'm a fan of Topps living, now and throwback thursday.
I like the style of this RC - about 1 in 20 people get an SP - I got lucky; plus the print run on the regular card is less than 4000 - that's pretty darn rare compared to regular print runs for sure IMO.
Man, those 82 Fleersare so weird. I have a soft spot for them. So many dark and out of focus photos to go along with crazy errors and the wrong guy’s photo on cards.
This card is so hard to find centred like this. That print dot is unfortunate but feel like an 8 is a bit hatsh when you consider 99.9% of these are OC or miscut.
The Bird/Magic took over 18 months to complete but is worth it in retrospective. I have been really into Australian NBL lately and Bryce Cotton is the best player in that league.
I've gotten into more non-sport since the boy collects them. I found this card interesting. It was issued in 2007 as part of the Hollywood Zombies set, Garbage Pail Kids meets Celebs. The Foil was the premium insert and this one is a pop 3. I think this could be Melania's Rookie Card!
i finally got a wagner refractor rookie. so far he is trending towards making the hall of fame on his last year. do not know if he is going to make it.
My December "pickup." I put pickup in scare quotes because I actually found this deck of cellophane-wrapped cards in a box in the closet a few days ago and didn't even remember having them. So it's a rediscovery I guess. I think it's a full set, but I'll have to open the celophane to see.
great underated player of the eighties. great cards.
Thanks! Got all 4 for under $100.00 delivered.
He actually matches up very well with Mattingly's lifetime stats. Never had the big years Donny did, but was a solid, consistent hitter and great fielder.

Two more tough Mantle’s. The first is a team TriFold that brings the population up to a robust six.

I have a collection of Sammy Baugh autos.

The Action shot is the SP.
Always loved this Payton card and really like the centering on this one. May send it to SGC to see if they could go 9.5. Probably no but worth a try.
Like the idea. I myself have recieved a different type of Alien card.
That's an E.T. rookie right on top!
Nice to get a rookie Rodman in Gem Mint 10…
Live long, and prosper.
Two card show pickups and a couple Ebay pickups.

LCS pickup. My father was part of a B-17 crew, so I added this to my collection.
I noticed one on eBay (probstein) as it was in a search I have.

That is a nice looking card and I love the reason for getting it. Cards with meaning make looking through the collection rewarding.
One more for my 75-95 rookie set.

I picked up a couple of raw cards. Cards from the 1986 CBS Radio set are always tough.

Love that Ripken though.

For comparison, a 10 that is more oc and has print issues, and would sell for 15k:
An upgrade for my Dwight Evans set . Its an odd-ball card BUT i still love it .
Always liked this set for the bold on card auto's
Got this in yesterday from a recent cast signing.

Added a tough one for the track and field collection
looking for 1988 Fournier estrellas stickers , 1985 Prism Jewel stickers , anything Jesse Owens .
The Bird/Magic took over 18 months to complete but is worth it in retrospective. I have been really into Australian NBL lately and Bryce Cotton is the best player in that league.
And yet another upgrade for an obscure set I collected during a real tough time in my life .

This really was in my stocking. Didn't know they still made these.
I did check the expiration date.

I just received another card for my Dwight Evans set . Not a top-pop , one higher , but the first one of these that I've seen in quite awhile .
Gift from Santa.
Nice Brett RC…gorgeous color! Corners are sharp as well...
Damn Santa’s elves have registration and centering down pat! Nice Brett.
That Brett is very sweet. Poppin' color on that bad boy.
