Test post...I see in the SCM Forum index that stingray posted, but when I go to read it, only my recent post is displayed. I've refreshed/reloaded the thread a number of times and can't seem to see the next post.

This is a test...

Sorry!

[edited to add: Now it appears! Weird.]

[edited again to add: Nice '83T stingray!! A picture of a pitcher's pitcher...]

I have noticed that too. Every once in while especially with this thread it takes a while for the last post to appear. The posters name appears but no post??

'76 starz!

Stingray · August 30, 2006 11:16AM

Holy crap, nice run of 76s there!! Bench is probably in my top 5 of all-time favorite cards!!

HoofHearted · August 30, 2006 11:18AM

rbdjr,

Amazing group of '76s! I think that's the first time I've ever seen the BRobby card! As I've said before, the '70s were a blackhole in my card collecting experience (USAF, party, college, party, work, party, etc.), so I get to experience them quite a bit as of late, thanks to you!

Ah, good. It's not just me and my PC. Thanks for letting me know!

5STAT · August 30, 2006 1:29PM

rbdjr1,

I just realized how many of those 76's came from me...lol

Holy Schmoly...where did all that $$$ go??

Must have been on food & wine...might be the reason my belt doesn't fit anymore...

It looks awesome to see them in a group photo like that though!! Not like looking at the Set Registry and just seeing the 9's and 10's column...

Congrats,
5_stat

Congrats! I've been wanting a '41PlayBall Senator for a while. I've just gotten the urge to look again. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. Won these (4) tonite! (...thought the card below, signed by Frank & Peggy Steele and by Dick Perez to be very interesting and heard tough to locate!)

fdnyladder7 · August 31, 2006 10:02PM

rb; Nice autos.

Pulled from a scrapbook and creased with light, clear glue residue. Hoping this latest '52 will hit a "GOOD", but not likely.

Just won:

digicat · September 2, 2006 1:41AM

Some good stuff I got back from PSA.

The Clark is 1 of 1, the Marichal is 1 of 13, and the Williams is 1 of 2

Oddly, I was way more excited to see the Clark and Williams hit 10s.

I don't know why they went with the condom holder for the Clark, but It's not so bad.

yawie99 · September 2, 2006 2:24AM

This new acquisition gets the honor of being the biggest beater in my T206 collection:

lawnmowerman · September 2, 2006 5:38AM

Huge mail day!! The first four are from my recent sub. The others are ebay wins.

Thanks

Way cool! Funny - it's the only T206 I've had graded but mine is the more common back.

How does that back rank - rare?

I like cards that have been "loved!"

tennesseebanker · September 2, 2006 7:04AM

My 86 Donruss Set is growing.............

yawie99 · September 2, 2006 7:18AM

Hindus are probably the toughest out of the middle tier of backs, Stone. Here's a link to one site's rankings of all the different back types. I'd have to check for sure, but I think I've got #'s 14 through 40 covered. The top 4 are insane rarities, and I really don't even consider the Ty Cobb back part of the set. Though I guess I maybe would if I could afford one.

FRNAllStar · September 2, 2006 7:33AM

Stingray, Nice card!

In fact Stingray, u motivated me into pulling-out and going thru all my Rose items! Ir really was fun goin' thru 'em all again!

I scanned some 1983 Rose items for your enjoyment!

rd

Notice the reverse surface color variations between Topps & OPC!

RedHeart54 · September 3, 2006 3:37AM

Nice collection of '80s Roses. I still think the '83 fleer of his has a great color combination with his maroon jersey and the tan borders.

Why does the smr have Davis listed once (chicago) and the other with (HOF)?

I looked in the gallery of the web you posted and there's only one sample card.

mike

yawie99 · September 3, 2006 7:30AM

Hmmm, I haven't checked an SMR in ages, but there's only one card of George Davis. There are two Harry Davis cards, one with his first initial and one without, but both are just commons. Maybe they're confusing George Davis with George Brown(e), who has cards picturing him with both Chicago and Washington, with the latter being more difficult.

bengineno9 · September 3, 2006 10:01AM

Cincy players have the nicest color. Probably the cleanest and brighest border T206 i have so far.

Poor man's Bresnahan and first.

Downtown1974 · September 3, 2006 10:42AM

Picked this one up recently. I really do not collect much of the modern stuff, but this set is just awesome!

lawnmowerman · September 3, 2006 10:45AM

Great card! Are you getting it graded?

matt

yawie99 · September 3, 2006 11:10AM

Good stuff, Ben. The color and clarity on the Karger are great and the Bresnahan's not bad, really. The image and tougher back are at least intact. You need a Konetchy (Glove High) by any chance? I accidentally bought a second Piedmont 350 of it and have one to spare.

Downtown1974 · September 3, 2006 11:27AM

Matt, I think I will eventually have it graded but I have a bunch of other stuff I want to send in first. Or maybe I'll see if someone wants to trade it for a Mantle.

lawnmowerman · September 3, 2006 2:58PM

Sorry about the scans. I just won this stuff tonite and hijacked the scans from ebay

Wilver Dornel "Willie" Stargell

Rest in Peace Willie, u were a great ball player and a good guy too! (Its been over 5 years since Willie left us! Wow!)

Over his 21-year career with the Pirates, he batted .282, with 2,232 hits, 423 doubles, 475 home runs and 1540 runs batted in, helping his team capture six National League East division titles, two National League pennants and two World Series (1971, 1979).

Insert here whatever noise that is that Homer Simpson makes when he thinks of donuts...
