Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Two cards in today's mail box. Was starting to get worried about the 1990 as the seller had low feedback, and it has been a few weeks since payment, but it only went for $8.00.

Nice jackstraw. Is it 5 x 3 1/2" in size? (two cards).

My 5th different 2001 Showcase Steve Young Jersey card.
And my first Stockton PSA 10.
Was really hoping for a much large mail day, but it could have been worse so I am not going to complain.

I agree. Pacific had some of the coolest auction shots. The 1991 Pacific also has photographs on the back, many time showing even a common player in home and away uniforms, which gives an ideal of how many photographs they must have taken for this set.
To give Topps a little credit, the 1992 sets (all sports) had some really awesome photography. I guess it took Topps a few years to catch on that they were not just playing with Donruss and Fleer in the sandbox anymore.
Here is another card I got today. (Cant tell I started a photo bucket site this week can you?) One of those tough to find cards due to an almost all black surface.

I really like latter day cards of classic era players. Access to superior printing materials and better photographs show these guys in ways that sometimes they weren't shown on their contemporary cards.
How hard and fast is PSA's rule about only having cards from the player's actual playing era in Master Sets? I have post-career cards, PSA graded and raw alike, of more than a few guys whose sets I might like to suppliment with them.
Got my submission back, as well as a few goodies in the mail. First, I'll show off my new registry set additions, so get ready for some SF Giants stars!:
Willie Mays Raw submission. Bought from Mickey's Sports Cards as ex/nm.
Juan Marichal Another raw submission. Since 8s seldom show up on Ebay, I got tired of waiting and submitted one myself.
Orlando Cepeda I picked up the 58 rookie card already graded, the 72 was a self submission:
Gaylord Perry Both raw submissions. I thought the 71 had a shot at an 8. Guess not.
Will Clark Submitted the 86 Donruss Highlights myself, got the other off Ebay.
I now have two of the five variations. (there are five different patch cards, each numbered to five)
Donruss Recollection Collection Auto /10
1989 Weis Market Disc TheMcGwireMuseum, a board member, sent me this one for free. I've recently been trying to track down all the different variations of discs from this era, and I've never before seen the Will Clark Weis disc. Thanks a ton, Jay!
Rather then clicking on the one of the "http (chain)" buttons, click on the little picture frame. It will then bring up a box "Script Prompt" "URL for the image." This is where you enter the web address of where the photo is.
It will them place in your posting the address with "[IM G]" (no space in the later) at the beginning and "[/IM G]" (again no space in the later) at the end. You can also just type or copy and paste these book end like font scripts.
Hope that helps, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I mainly collect Braves and, when I can afford it, Andruw Jones equipment. I'm known though to just buy very random equipment. If I see something that's cheap and looks sweet, then I just HAVE to get it
Had a pretty large mail day today, which is somewhat strange for a Tuesday since none were foreign or priority. Rather then flood you with images of them all I have selected a few I think are cool....
I think these 1993 Collectors Edge team cards are neat. I don't remember them but I guess I never purchased much 1993 CE, if any?
The Colts team card has several suits in the middle, I imagine the owner, president and the like. So perhaps one of them will make the HOF and not make this a stray in a collection, or course there is always Jim Harbaugh...;^)
Dolphins team card with Marino, Shula and one of my old favorites Mark Duper.
Closeup of the tiny Marino.
Steelers team card. I imagine Anderson will make the HOF in this group. Note how the coaches are just sort of thrown in like it was a last minute decision.
Anyone know a site I can look up and find the names of all the assistant coaches?
Picked up the Dickerson for under $3.00, plus combined shipping. With all the black on the front and back I image 10's are not easy to get. Which amazed me no one else wanted it, as I have not been able to touch any of the 1980's Dickerson PSA 10's, which uusally go for twice what other HOF'ers in the same set go for.

And what's with Pacific? How come a small company like that can manage to figure out how to cut cards so nice and find some decent action shots?
Sometimes I think Topps could learn a thing or two from some of the small companies?
Thanx for sharing

Here's a few more 59's I picked up. Still lookin' for Berra and Gibson.

I have never seen a card from the Pacific Football sets of that era that wasn't really wonderful.
And those are fabulous '59s

Sweet! The Aaron is super - with 7s like that? Who needs better! Great centering also.
Great cards - the 59s are a favorite of mine - I just like the colors also.
In fact - the Corsair Trio is one of my all-time favorites from the set.
Thanx for sharing.

I wonder how many of these old pins remain ungraded?
When I first saw the "10" in the grade, I figured it was out of 100. Wow. I Gem Mint 10 on a pin that's nearly 100 years old. That doesn't suck!
