BigDaddyBowman · March 4, 2008 8:53AM

A few additions to the set:

Hey Perk-your prediction of getting packages 5 days a week, just might be acccurate this week

perkdog · March 4, 2008 9:00AM

Ofcourse it is! Ryan, EVERY day I look in this forum and expect to see your name as the last post to this thread

Let's not exaggerate now Paul! I did a scientific study....ok not very scientific...and not quite a study...but since Christmas there have been a total of 71 days of "Mail Call" threads. I have posted on 16 of them. That means 55 days of no packages! But, if the good Lord willing...I will give 110 percent to search ebay ....taking it day by day...and hopefully I will be able to achieve my ultimate goal of opening 5 packages a week!

Ladder7 · March 4, 2008 11:18AM

Unpacked these beaters this afternoon.

BigDaddyBowman · March 4, 2008 12:53PM

that Ruth exhibit is cool

Stone193 · March 4, 2008 1:05PM

<< that Ruth exhibit is cool

I was just thinking the same thing!

It's one of my favorite cards - the pose on Ruth is classic!

Ryan

Some sweet pickups for your 48B set.

Early FB is just so underappreciated IMO.

Hey Perk-
3 for 3 this week..2 more and I am going to call you Nostradamus!

This Graham is a beauty...looks undergraded to me. I have wanted this card for a VERY long time. Finally found one that has great eye apppeal at a reasonable price.

cwazzy · March 5, 2008 3:34AM

Nice Graham, Ryan! Your cards actually make me want to collect vintage football. And then I reallise that I can't afford the baseball that I buy no so that is probably a bad idea.

Chris

<< Nice Graham, Ryan! Your cards actually make me want to collect vintage football. And then I reallise that I can't afford the baseball that I buy no so that is probably a bad idea.

Chris >>

Thanks Chris. That is one of the things that makes this board great...that we can share what we love to collect with others..and even sometimes inspire them to venture into something that they would not have collected if not exposed to it on the board. I own about 5 graded baseball cards, but recently picked up a 55 Aaron because I was inspired by what I saw on the board. I took my road less travelled, but have now gotten back onto the vintage football highway! I better slow down or my "officer" wife might give me a speeding ticket!

By the way, I checked out your collection pics...as a Clevelander..I love the 54 Doby.

cwazzy · March 5, 2008 4:38AM

Thanks, Ryan! I love the Doby. The only problem is that it is too good for my '54 set.

One of these days I will have a respectable collection like yours but that is quite aways down the road.

THAT is a very nice card Ryan! hmmm 3 for 3 this week huh? I think you might want to crunch your #'s with your little test you did! You might find that I wasnt too far off!

Again, that Graham card is a beauty! I am really thinking of focusing on a player set of his, I am however finding it very difficult to find nicely centered copies of his card, in 7 grade I cannot find his '54 Bowman issue, that one is right up there with his best looking cards IMO.

JeremyDie1 · March 5, 2008 5:42AM

Just got this in today. I think it looks good for the grade.

MajorDanby · March 5, 2008 6:10AM

jeremy...nnnniiiccceeeeee

<< Just got this in today. I think it looks good for the grade.

DUDE!!!! Nice card. That is what I have been waiting all day to see! (Sorry, Ryan. Yours is nice too but this is baseball. I hope you understand.

) Do you mind if I ask how much that set you back?

Chris

OnlyThe10s · March 5, 2008 6:19AM

JeremyDie1, that's quite an incredible card man... congratulations on this pick-up.

Hey Perk- What's the line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

I will taunt you a second time! You silly Kniggit! OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

perkdog · March 5, 2008 7:26AM

RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all I went through trying to find that Glen Davis card you have to pull this on me huh? OK I see how it is...

Yes I see how it is. I ENVY your collection

Why am I not suprised you have this card?

BigDaddyBowman · March 5, 2008 7:34AM

BigDaddyBowman · March 5, 2008 7:49AM

I am silenced....at least until tommorow!

JeremyDie1 · March 5, 2008 7:50AM

Hey since everyone is showing their nice Football Bowmans! I got this too!!

perkdog · March 5, 2008 7:53AM

Very Nice Jeremy! That IS my favorite card! Got any other Vintage Football to share?

As you can see here, I had a fellow boardmember make this card for me after the Baugh card..

JeremyDie1 · March 5, 2008 7:57AM

Ok. Last one I got in the deal.

JeremyDie1 · March 5, 2008 8:03AM

As always very nice stuff everyone. Paul that Brady is amazing!

DrJ · March 5, 2008 1:17PM

Couple of beaters for my personal collection today.

Stingray · March 5, 2008 9:31PM

Another common for the set:

BobS · March 5, 2008 11:17PM

Sorry for the crappy auction scan. Another of the "BIG" ones for the set out of the way.

Karb · March 6, 2008 4:15AM

That is a good looking card. Very nice pick up

BigDaddyBowman · March 6, 2008 4:57AM

Great looking Robinson!

Perk- 4/4 on the week...All I need is 1 more!

The 53 Otto that I got yesterday needed someone to throw to!

JeremyDie1 · March 6, 2008 5:36AM

Nice looking 6 on the Jackie!

Elemenopeo · March 6, 2008 6:38AM

A new addition to my still miniscule HOF "set". Still can't believe there's no player set on the registry for this guy... Please, someone start one before I'm anymore tempted to do it myself and further thin out my budget.

perkdog · March 6, 2008 8:14AM

perkdog · March 6, 2008 8:17AM

Why is this thread always such a PITA to get to the last post? I have been trying to open this thread up for hours now and cant see any posts past KARB's post at 2:15pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
