<< <i>Bought these 4 Mantles raw about 30-35 years ago.

Just now starting to get all of our Mantles graded by PSA.

Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the grades.

PoppaJ >>

Do you have any idea why PSA used 2 different sized holders for the Bazookas? That '66 looks like it could do some major sliding around in there whereas the '64 fits just right - what gives?

cwazzy · October 14, 2008 10:15AM

Got a couple more Adam Wainwright cards in the mail recently:

2006 Sweet Spot

2006 UD Special FX Green

2004 Skybox LE Photographers Proof #1/25

Ladder7 · October 14, 2008 10:31AM

Thanks Snorto, It's a photo of the Teddy. Pretty lousy I know. I've got a decent scanner, but think I lost the power cord last year ? and I'm too lazy to look for it.

Cardcounter2 · October 14, 2008 10:55AM

Another one for my 65 Reds Team Set. Only 6 more to go.

rube26105 · October 14, 2008 11:50AM

^^^nice

MeteoriteGuy · October 15, 2008 2:54AM

The Munson card is the coolest 70s baseball card I think. I almost have to brush dirt off me just looking at it. Nice.

halosfan · October 15, 2008 3:25AM

Someone mentioned this card on a different thread a while back. It finally found it's way home from eBay to me to Newport and back. The scan does not do it justice as it looks awesome and I love it!

Now back to hunting for the final cards for my boxing sets.

Cheers

Matt, does that card bounce all around the inside of the slab like lost of my psa games used cards do?

halosfan · October 15, 2008 10:49AM

Some do ... Some don't. This one is fine. I'm not a fan of the HUGE slabs

Distelrath · October 15, 2008 4:01PM

First and foremost, welcome back Rube!

I went a little crazy with the vintage stuff. I have the cards, already, but my quadriplegia prevents me from being able to scan them, so I'll just post the ebay photos. Mind you I'm the type that isn't isn't too condition sensitive. Enjoy the show!

Pele "rookie" card. Have no clue if its really a rookie, but it was listed as one. No clue about the history of soccer cards.

'33 Goudey Adolfo Luque (one of 1st Cuban ballplayers)... This guy was MEAN. He's beat the crap out of a heckler, slugged Casey Stengel in the face, and charged the other dugout with a bat. Not too bad of a pitcher, either.

Had to get the '61 Fleer to match it

IJustLoveCards · October 15, 2008 10:38PM

Distelrath That is some amazing stuff....

Lawnmowerman..Very Nice emmit stuff..everytime I see him on espn I think of your cards..

Watched the Bob Costas Mays and Aaron hour and in the mail came these 2 items....

So in Honor of his interview...

Then these came....I am only 5 cards away from completing this set..

Morgoth · October 15, 2008 10:48PM

71 Munson and 65 Mantle are pretty much perfect!

Distelrath · October 16, 2008 8:07PM

bump

MeteoriteGuy · October 17, 2008 3:58AM

Love the Cobb auto, the 1954 Topps, that awesome GU card and many of the others.

A couple less cooler cards, but they are part of the All-Time Dolphins set, so I like them. The Mare is a pop. 3, somewhat rare comparibly to other all-time RC.

Clear Skies,
Mark

Ladder7 · October 17, 2008 6:41AM

Always nice to check off another card ehh Mark? I tried a few times, but could never muster the patience.

After a month away at Cali, I was pleased to see Henry Yee gave this photo the Type 1 designation.

Helen and her Babe. Sudbury Mass ca1918.

SidePocket · October 17, 2008 2:48PM

55 Mays 8 is very nice, that is in my opinion the toughest card around to find in excellent condition!

redlegs · October 17, 2008 10:21PM

I won this from Heritage auctions last night. I had been looking for one of these for a very long time.

freddyp23 · October 18, 2008 12:30AM

My latest acquisition

jimq112 · October 18, 2008 5:33AM

Not a card, but it's football related. 1925 Rose Bowl RPPC unused. I don't have a lot of football postcards but liked this one

rube26105 · October 18, 2008 6:07AM

not a card, but i was proud, mobster henry hill of goodfellas fame 1/1 rube pic

redlegs · October 18, 2008 8:36AM

I picked up this very nice item a couple of weeks ago for only $10. It is a Tony Perez autographed 1968 Cincinnati Reds scorecard. When I received it I was suprised that the condition of the scorecard was Near Mint and unscored.

elsnorto · October 19, 2008 9:28AM

Ladder - that Cobb auto is a beauty!

freddyp23 - nice Reggie rookie it presents nicely for the grade.

halosfan - that card is alright... it could use a little more star power on it though.

Here are my highlights for the week starting with a Slingin' Sammy auto for my 1997 Leaf Signature Series 8x10 set. Sammy was really selling that action shot with his facial expression!

Next up a souvenir ticket from the Orlando Thunder (the most feminine pro football team ever?) WLAF debut and a Broadway Joe Upper Deck Heroes 'graph:

Lastly a few additions to my TAA and Nu Card sets. The Four Horsemen card I picked up at a (hopefully) bargain to flip at some point as I already have a well centered one for my set:

Enjoy the last fleeting hours of the weekend... Monday morning will be here before we know it.

Stingray · October 19, 2008 9:56PM

Thought about starting this set. Watched Cullen play back in the late 80s when he played with the Flint Spirits (now Flint Generals).

HighChopper · October 20, 2008 6:38AM

oaktown · October 24, 2008 12:15AM

Here are some new pickups:

Rizzuto from his rookie season (1941)

Feller from his second season in the bigs (1937)

Mize from his rookie year (1936)

Reese from his second year (1941)

lawnmowerman · October 24, 2008 8:17AM

A couple nice pop 1's slabbed old flip style

Another addition to my 1960 Topps Set...

elsnorto · October 26, 2008 5:33PM

A busy mail week, but not much worth scanning, mostly a bunch of commons for the various sets I am working on. I thought this was cool enough to share though since I have only seen one offered up on eBay in over 2 years. It is an XFL player's handbook...

The tape on the back is on the protective bag it is stored in, but the binding does have some wear on it unfortunately. Makes for a pretty interesting read... definitely not as lucrative as life in the NFL to say the least.

rube26105 · October 27, 2008 2:35AM

the mickster for the rubester

bobbybakeriv · October 27, 2008 5:14AM

Nice stuff, gents!

DrJ · October 27, 2008 6:44AM

Another addition to my 1960 Topps set. This Kaline looks nicer than a 5 to me.....

DavidPuddy · October 28, 2008 11:52PM

Picked these up in the last few weeks.

freddyp23 · October 29, 2008 5:26PM

Picked this up last week

freddyp23 · October 29, 2008 5:28PM

Ladder7 · October 29, 2008 11:51PM

Elsnorto, Love the Four Horsemen card. I'll need to find one someday.
Oak, great autos!

A weird collectible, I know.
ca1907, Notebook cover with Matty, Plank and Joss.

IJustLoveCards · October 30, 2008 12:39AM

Just got these to add to my growing 70's unopened collection:

IJustLoveCards · October 30, 2008 12:43AM

double post sorry

IJustLoveCards · October 30, 2008 12:44AM

Very nice stuff from everyone...wow like a kid in a candy store

BunchOBull · October 30, 2008 1:29AM

And you only want 25 cents a piece of them? I'll take them all!

Beautiful cellos!

Stingray · October 30, 2008 2:06AM

<< <i>And you only want 25 cents a piece of them? I'll take them all!

Like the one with Ron LeFlore, got my first foul ball at a game off his bat!!

redlegs · October 31, 2008 11:16AM

I picked this OPC today which will be an upgrade for my Bench collection.

elsnorto · November 1, 2008 7:27AM

A few of my arrivals this past week starting with a couple more singles for my sets and a John Elway 1997 Inscriptions autograph:

And a PSA authenticated signed baseball from NFL HOFer and former Philadelphia Athletics major leaguer, Ace Parker:

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone.

Snorto~

freddyp23 · November 1, 2008 3:58PM

My latest addition

EAsports · November 2, 2008 10:41AM

These came in this weekend... Double bonus points if someone can tell me what the five players have in common....
