This is the first PSA 10 in my Pirates collection. I was a bit surprised at that. This came from a fellow board member.

Stone193 · December 17, 2006 5:23AM

I pulled this from the Library of Congress - a prototype/precursor to the baseball cards to come.

This early prototype is actually an original photograph mounted on a card. At the start of the 1865 season, the Atlantics presented opposing teams with framed photographs of the "Champion Nine."

I wouldn't mind finding something like this in an old book I pick up on the street for a buck?

I have this 54B pack - picked it up a long time ago from the BBCKid - would ya send it to PSA?

I have to say - I do like their holders.

Not here yet but another portrait for the T206 set bits the dust.

I am drooling...I want to rip that 54 bowman pack! I couldn't have wax like that around!

Nice pack! I wouldn't send it to PSA. I'd send it to Joe's house.
I will take good care of it for you. You got too much stuff laying
around anyways. I prolly have 1987 Bond PRO 10 laying around
somewhere for a trade. Just think how much that puppy will be
worth someday!! I'm gonna put my grand kids through college
on that 1.

Another one for my set, slow and steady:

An upgrade for my basic player set

It's not a new card per se, but it just came back from PSA/DNA. Only took a month and a half (on a 1 card submission dropped off at the GBSCC show in early November), but I'm happy with the grade. This is one of the first cards I've posted that I used my new scanner (HP4890) for. Not bad, eh?

rlankhaar · December 17, 2006 3:00PM

One more big one down for the set...

...how long until lawnmowerman comments?

Bunker · December 17, 2006 3:28PM

<< This is one of the first cards I've posted that I used my new scanner (HP4890) for. Not bad, eh? >>

Very Nice card and scan...congrat's!

Bunker · December 17, 2006 3:30PM

I would have to send it in just to keep myself from wanting to rip that bad boy open. The pack appears to be in great shape and would look awesome in a PSA slab.

ArnyVee · December 18, 2006 12:01AM

Here are some recent cards...

The Greenberg is for sale if anyone is interested for $100 (SMR $120) w/delivery included.

jradke4 · December 18, 2006 12:17AM

Matt must not be awake yet. Or is still giddy as a school girl over the cowboy game on sat. But I am sure he will respond after seeing that nice emmitt you have. Congrats.

lawnmowerman · December 18, 2006 12:29AM

<< One more big one down for the set...

Nice! I believe I saw that one on ebay the other day. How many more do you need for the set?

tkd7 · December 18, 2006 12:53AM

schr1st-
Cool auto card. I always like the multiplayer ones.

Ladder7-
Great classic card. I will be looking for one for myself next year. Nice pickup.

digicat · December 18, 2006 1:09AM

Just got this last week off of Naxcom.

Looks much nicer in-hand.

I realized after I posted it was 1 in the morning for him...of course, it still wouldn't suprise me if he responded.

Nice Favre set-I really like seeing all the scans you have.

KOBEcollector · December 18, 2006 5:50AM

Magic for my set

That's a great looking card...in hand, on screen, off hand or any other kind of hand!

Nice pickup!

Dave I like the Magic mini

The Roy is cool too!

BigDaddyBowman · December 18, 2006 7:00AM

WooHoo! I just got these 1953 Bowmman in today and I am very pleased. Cards are much nicer than the grades. Anybody who collects 1953's knows how tough they are to find in even mid grades... I think I may be submitting these for regrading. The centering is typical for the set....what do you guys think? Am I just viewing these through rose colored glasses or should I send them in for regrading?

KOBEcollector · December 18, 2006 7:17AM

Thanks Matt

Wow what a hairdo on Crazy Legs in that card

Dave

Digicat that is a sweet McCovey

Elemenopeo · December 18, 2006 11:31AM

Couldn't resist getting one of these slabbed for 5 bucks. Pretty sure this will be the only PSA 10 Mantle I'll ever own.

ArnyVee · December 18, 2006 11:40AM

Boy, those A&Gs sure look great slabbed! Congrats on the 10!

nightcrawler · December 18, 2006 11:42AM

Nice cards guys, sure love them 53 Bowmans.

julen23 · December 18, 2006 12:04PM

pardon my ignorance,
but was that mantle sold as part of 2006 regular set???

julen

Elemenopeo · December 18, 2006 12:23PM

<< pardon my ignorance,

julen >>

Yep. The Mantle is a base card from the 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter set.

ArchStanton · December 18, 2006 1:12PM

I just got antsy and bought this for my Stargell set. It does not come up often in PSA 8.

ArchStanton · December 18, 2006 1:20PM

I also picked this up cheap. I have really been thinking of doing this All Star sub-set in PSA 8. I am not crazy about '68s in general, but I love the All Stars. The only problem is that the PSA label is sometimes to the right and sometimes to the left on horizontal cards. That bugs me a little.

julen23 · December 18, 2006 1:33PM

sharp stargell.

those uniforms are SUPER TIGHT also.

julen

bbne1 · December 18, 2006 1:39PM

GREAT 63 McCovey. There may be no nicer looking card than a 63 with a focused picture, nice centering, and sharp corners.

Ladder7 · December 19, 2006 6:24AM

Classy guy in an old cheesy issue;

ArnyVee · December 19, 2006 11:35AM

New Tiant card received today....

New '84 Donruss cards that I received....

Elemenopeo · December 19, 2006 12:23PM

wish this darn page would turn

Elemenopeo · December 19, 2006 12:23PM

trying again...

there we go. Nice additions Arny!

ArnyVee · December 19, 2006 12:48PM

Thank you sir!

GDM67 · December 19, 2006 2:30PM

<< Nice additions Arny! >>

Definitely. That '78 Tiant has always been my mental image of him.

digicat · December 19, 2006 3:30PM

The unexpected highlight of my most recent submission:

After going through a bunch of 1985 Topps football cards, I guess I expected this card to get a 7 or less. The 8 was unexpected, but welcome.

GDM67 · December 19, 2006 4:30PM

That's a sweet Mays. I've always liked that card.

benderbroeth · December 19, 2006 4:34PM

mine would get a 1 or less...lol

Stone193 · December 19, 2006 5:15PM

Digi

That Mays is off the chart!!!!

I once picked up an 8 before ebay and scans - it was from Greg Manning.

It was rough cut on both sides and look horrible!

They have a no return on graded - but took it back - the power of being a good customer.

Very nice - Merry Christmas
mike

AlbertanDude · December 19, 2006 5:44PM

Just won this beauty from Memory lane the other day...Gordie Howe PSA 8 from the classic 54 Topps set....If I wasnt'
