Beautiful cards Butcher! I love that Dempsey!

halosfan · June 12, 2006 9:21AM

These are just in and I'm pretty stoked!!

Stone193 · June 12, 2006 9:27AM

Butcher

Great cards!

Don't just get excited about the great litho colors on these cards! Tennis anyone?

Halo

Very nice cards - I don't know much about the set - nice DiMaggio! For the collecting I do, I have autos of Joe but zero cards!

thanx for sharing guys

Finally...my first T206. It's not in the best shape, but I had to have a Senator with at least a "W" showing on his uniform. I thought at first that the auction title had a mispelled name -- "Wid" instead of "Kid". I guess not!

HoofHearted · June 12, 2006 3:16PM

What an awesome run of cards in this thread. I've seen cards/sets I've never heard about before. Amazing.

What's the most posts in a thread in the Sports forums? I would assume the Open Forum would have some kind of long-running thread, but this has to be close to, if not the largest, response to a thread -- this is the 2854th post!

"Mail Call!" was always a special time in the service -- and appears to be here...

EB31 · June 12, 2006 3:47PM

Mondays mail...forgotten about until 1:30 am Tues !! lol

For those wondering....it doesn't slide around in the slab at all.

1936 National Chicle, Wes and Rick Ferrell autographed, brother Wes passed away in 1976.

Great stuff everyone, keep up the good work!

<< Finally...my first T206 >>

Congratulations Mike.

You may be starting something...

I can't wait to start collecting T3s again!

Don't forget to post when you pick up the Honus.

fdnyladder7 · June 13, 2006 7:01AM

Congrats on the first T206... I wish you many many more.
Just unpacked this shipment...

Thanks for the sentiment. Now, what would it take to get that WJohnson from you?! jk

I need an old Walter for my Senators/Twins type set. An Exhibit card would be great!

Thanks for sharing!

Stone193 · June 15, 2006 2:19PM

I'm the last person I would expect to post right now but I have some money in my paypal acct. - so I picked up this 63F card for my set - moving along nicely - the set is in PSA 8 - a very safe and affordable grade. This card is nicely centered - I may scan all the cards and put them in the registry?

After 2 yrs, I'm at almost 60%!

thanx for viewing

Stone193 · June 15, 2006 2:41PM

Very nice Mays Ryan.

Jason - that's a solid Rose! Great centering and looks clean - thus IMO a hi end 8!

Thanks Stone

Card does look great in person...there is a fisheye on the left border, but all in all...I like it.

ToppsCo1lector · June 15, 2006 7:53PM

1 More for the Mulder Rookie Gem Mint collection. Now I have Topps Traded, Topps Traded Chrome, Bowman's Best, and Bowman Chrome all PSA 10. Missed out on a Bowman Chrome Gold last night by less than a buck but the couch was calling me.

EB31 · June 16, 2006 9:02AM

Stone193 · June 16, 2006 12:03PM

Very nice cards ToppsCo.

I don't have any of the chromes graded and I've stopped handling them - I noticed I was leaving all kinds of fingerprints on them!

thanx for sharing and good luck on the Mulder Bowman Chrome Gold!
mike

ToppsCo1lector · June 16, 2006 1:08PM

Thanks Stone! I also picked up a 91 UD Chipper Jones SGC 92 for maybe 1.00? I have probably 15-20 copies of that card but eh, why pay for grading when I can buy this one and do a little comparing before had. Chrome card and I do not get along, as it seems a smear or print or smudge can always be seen. I'm going for a Gem Mint Mulder Master set. Yeah I missed out on that Gold Chrome though. Eh, ya win some you lose some. Luckily I had gotten a little caught up in getting that card and bid more than my personal limit. But I still have some stuff coming in that'll quench the card thirst.

Stone193 · June 16, 2006 1:26PM

<< But I still have some stuff coming in that'll quench the card thirst. >>

Keep'm coming...

I'm living vicariously thru you guys right now!

ToppsCo1lector · June 16, 2006 1:36PM

Some autos I picked up recently. It's my third and fourth Feller autos, all which look real real unique(I mean, look at those cards and I have a 5x7 cartoon auto which is real nice and another auto'd card). The bottom is Ed Figoura(sp), he's a Yankee so I'm a fan. The Bench looks nice in person but it was signed with an elcheapo(thinking Bic) pen that didn't roll smooth but eh.

jackstraw · June 17, 2006 9:02AM

Thanks to Donato I can now sleep , he finally found one for me........so thanks again!

Stone193 · June 17, 2006 4:27PM

Very nice addition John.

Super autos ToppsCo - I like auto'ed BB cards - better than pics since it's easier to display.

thanx for sharing

Stone193 · June 17, 2006 4:33PM

Since I'm on a scan mode, I'm putting together the graded 52Ts I have - here's the first batch - don't have a lot tho.

Does anyone watch - "They call me Earl"? Offbeat - great irony - funny IMO.

I pick up a 52T from time to time - at this rate - I will have to live to about 172 to finish the set! And need to sell my house!

thanx for viewing

phreakydancin · June 17, 2006 6:07PM

It's been awhile since I posted in this thread. My latest arrivals:

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 3:37AM

These haven't arrived yet but I won them off the bay....Luckily for me I was under the impression they were the Topps Finest auto/rcs while they are the Contenders autos(2) of Brandon Jacobs(RB, NYGs); The top row of cards are not mine btw

Hopefully this seller will come through. I bought a 05 Bowman Chrome FB hobby box, an UNC green refractor unopened, as well as the 2 Jacobs rookie/autos quite a while ago from this seller. He has great feedback and those that left him negs(2 out of 1200+) were for really late shipping. As long as these arrive I could honestly care less. I got the whole package for less than 50 bucks so hopefully he'll hold up his end of the deal. If not I'll air him out on this board and make sure I get my money back as well.

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 5:14AM

Tonight I'm getting some current NY Giants cards that I'm going to get auto'd during the season. Here is one I just picked up.

Stone193 · June 18, 2006 5:18AM

Those 72s are tremendous! Where are you now with the set?

thanx for sharing

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 8:51AM

Another addition to my Mark Mulder collection....This time it's a
2005 Leaf Limited Auto #ed 44/50

EB31 · June 18, 2006 10:00AM

Nothing major..but nice all the same...

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 10:06AM

<< Hillarious >>

Your a Phillies fan.....lol.

Stone193 · June 18, 2006 10:37AM

ToppsCo

When you get those cards, I would like to see them with a better scan.

On the Mulder card - it's a 2005 Leaf? How come the date is 2003? Confusing.

Nice card tho - gonna get it graded?

thanx for sharing
mike

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 11:42AM

I will be rescanning the Jacobs when they come in.

I think the camera is set to the wrong year in the Mulder shot. I'm going to check the top right(in picture) corner under my printing loupe to see if it's worth it. I think I will just to get it encapsulated, ya know b/c it offers way more protection to it. Tonight I'm on a little bay binge and hopefully I'll pull in some other stuff for my collection.

I've completed 56/176, so near 1/3 of the way there. It's my first vintage set and I'm really enjoying it, although I realize I've now knocked off most of the "easy" cards in the set. It's going to get a lot more difficult as I progress.

montanafan · June 18, 2006 12:28PM

Hillarious

why's that?

edited to add: i know it's no delmon young or anything, but it's still a nice card IMO

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 12:37PM

Thanks Montana.

montanafan · June 18, 2006 12:43PM

no problem topps collector... EB, errrrrr i mean phillie phanatic, was out of line with that crack.. people don't post pictures here to have people take shots at them and that was out of line.. correct me if i'm wrong.

ToppsCo1lector · June 18, 2006 12:54PM

Oh I agree with you all the way.

bennybravo · June 18, 2006 1:14PM

A Nice '54

bennybravo · June 18, 2006 1:18PM

Couple More.

ToppsCo1lector · June 19, 2006 5:01AM

Bravo Benny!

WinPitcher · June 19, 2006 5:05AM

an upgrade to my now completed set.

Steve

nice 54's btw!

Stone193 · June 19, 2006 8:49AM

Benny

Those are tremendous! The color and registration is off the chart!

Are you doing the set? In 8? This was a real treat!

Steve

Congratulations on the completed set! And an 8! That's great.

thanx for sharing

softparade · June 19, 2006 9:29AM

Steve,

GREAT looking set that is. Congrats again on your completion

I just got this one in the ol mailbox

bri2327 · June 19, 2006 9:31AM

Nice A.L. championship card Dan....I hope mine looks that good

ToppsCo1lector · June 19, 2006 9:35AM

Sparade-That's a beaut right there!

Stone193 · June 19, 2006 11:24AM

Nice card Dan!

I'm guessing you're starting to do the upgrade thing?

Who is that sliding? Is it Rivers? Can't tell for sure.

mike

WinPitcher · June 19, 2006 11:30AM

Very nice card!

Yes, I believe it is Frank White and Mick the quick.
