I concur. Looks fantastic!

rexvos · November 1, 2015 5:20AM

That is an incredible card and awesome pickup, thanks for sharing.

Darin · November 1, 2015 6:51AM

Got both of these racks from dugout unopened wax on ebay. The 81 has a Tim Raines rookie on back and I didn't even know it had Amos Otis on front, huge bonus being a Royals fan. And only cost $9.99

The Gwynn is very nicely centered on the 83 rack.

MrNearMint · November 1, 2015 7:42AM

Wonder why that Bart Starr is only an 8. I'd probably send it in for a possible bump. Looking at it a little more intensely, it does have a very slight tilt and is a little "snowy" but still looks close to mint to me!

PaulMaul · November 1, 2015 8:25AM

First exciting wacky pickups in quite some time....

Always been one of my favorite Mantles.

Not the look I was going for. This new system has some kinks for me to work out.

seebelow · November 2, 2015 5:57AM

Sounds like a great trip. Any pics?

BeRoyalKC · November 2, 2015 6:14AM

Those are cool tickets. I went in 2010 and they were no where near that cool. Congrats!

DanBessette · November 2, 2015 7:47AM

I have some really cool HOF tix from 2013 with Clemente on them.

slum22 · November 2, 2015 8:26AM

A great start to the month. The Starr RC is very sharp as is the Mantle Dan-Dee (tough card). I always love seeing some unopened packs with HOFers showing (or in Raines' case should-be HOFer). I am hoping to have an entry in this thread in the next couple days. I got the dreaded UPS slip for missed delivery on my BBCE shipment

yankeesman · November 2, 2015 10:36AM

I posted this in my 500 HR club autograph thread but couldn't help putting it here too. Couldn't wait to open up this bad boy when I saw it delivered today.

dtkk49a · November 2, 2015 11:05AM

I wonder how a Seventon card would go over nowadays ?

DanBessette · November 2, 2015 11:16AM

I love Jimmy foxx. Great auto!

Topps29 · November 2, 2015 11:26AM

Nice Bart!

halosfan · November 2, 2015 11:30AM

Great start to the month in this thread already! .... Here's a new one for me ... a little more Modern

jmlabonner · November 3, 2015 9:04AM

Got these in mail today and yesterday to add to my 1986 Fleer Update Auto Collection!

begsu1013 · November 3, 2015 9:23AM

this was a pick up from 4sc and head scratcher. surface is completely clean, only thing I can think of is that perhaps it woulda been a 9oc for t/b centering?

but for $32 i will take everyone i can find like this:

alifaxwa2 · November 3, 2015 9:50AM

Not sports, but I imagine you all have enough kids to appreciate this;

Just added Bonnie Wright at a Dallas Con

Dnice · November 3, 2015 10:45AM

The whole Harry Potter cast signs their names cool.

Darin · November 3, 2015 11:47AM

begsu- Yes, its the top-bottom centering keeping that Hank in a 7 holder. But that is a beautiful card!

BTW- I was just watching a 1975 PSA 9 Aaron on ebay, very nicely centered, it sold for $2400. I thought it might go around $1400-1500.

The Hank Aaron #660 is the toughest card in the set to get holdered in a 9, tougher on a percentage of cards submitted than such notable commons as Rusty Staub or Dave Guisti.

jesseboxingcardguy · November 3, 2015 11:48AM

nice Todd Gurley

seebelow · November 3, 2015 2:10PM

begsu..32 bucks for aaron..wow..nice score..even nicer 7.

Great poster...a legit one is near impossible to find. It adds so much more assembling them yourself..congrats.

Maybe i should resubmit..ive never done that...whats the likely hood of a bump? id bet cost wise its worth it just don't know how successful...Id def be uncomf breaking it open.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen.

seebelow · November 3, 2015 2:12PM

halosfan...sweet gurley...like the swoosh...you have any trouts? id bet you have one or two

begsu1013 · November 3, 2015 11:45PM

thanks guys!

+1, incredible card!

shu4040 · November 4, 2015 12:03AM

Picked up my 2nd Mantle (behind a 63 8). really liked the centering and image for this grade. Feels like it could bump to a 3.5? what do you think?

ToneD · November 4, 2015 2:36AM

Nice card shu! I can't seem to figure out how they dish out .5 grades on the lower ends of the scale. On your card however, if there aren't any creases, it wouldn't look out of place in a 3.5 holder. I have seen a lot worse 3.5's. Good luck!

LarkinCollector · November 4, 2015 2:42AM

Nice card, but I don't see it bumping due to T/B centering. R/L looks good near the top, but with the tilt it strays away near the bottom. It's probably worth one shot to see though, the overall eye appeal is great.

Some new ones:

DanBessette · November 4, 2015 9:41PM

That Bresnahan is awesome.

yankeesman · November 5, 2015 2:11AM

Gorgeous '53 Mick Shu! My favorite card of all time. More like artwork than a baseball card. Super pick up!

shu4040 · November 5, 2015 3:30AM

"More like artwork than a baseball card."

agree 100%. such an iconic image, thought i should be adding it before others.

If i go for a review, i'll let you guys know how it turns out!

Thanks Dan!

seebelow · November 5, 2015 8:51AM

Congrats on the 53. That card is awesome...at least a 4 or more...I dont see why its a 3....Although Im very partial to 53s even vs 52s...as shu said it is artwork, literally

Awesome!

garnettstyle · November 5, 2015 2:39PM

No, not quite that low. Thanks for your inquiry into my set collecting needs!!

hyperchipper09 · November 6, 2015 5:31AM

Decided to make the most of some eBay offers and a gift card.

CocoaBeachDodgers · November 6, 2015 4:03PM

This is my favorite baseball card of all cards. I have always wanted one but it doesn't fit into any of my registry sets so I have been putting him off. He will look nice next to my PeeWee Reese autograph ball & bobblehead. I promise I will upgrade him some day, but for now, I like the centering & he was $50 below VCP.

edit to mention "that is not a crease in the background, it is lightning. Probably going to rain that day in Vero Beach!"

dberk12 · November 6, 2015 9:52PM

Haha. That crease does look like lightning just like in "The Natural". That card has a lot of character and is a great addition to the PC. It is one of my favorite all time cards for straight up eye appeal and has personal value because my father-in-law was a big time Brooklyn Dodger fan. I hope to grab one someday. Enjoy!

tennesseebanker · November 6, 2015 11:26PM

Awesome pick-ups gentlemen !

Won this last night through the Heritage Auction. As a ticket collector it is a "must have"

tennesseebanker · November 6, 2015 11:37PM

Love the Harry Potter Poster. I'm not a poster collector, but I would love to have something like that framed, as my family are huge Harry Potter fans. What are some things to "look out" for on a piece like that ? I'm sure you want the Auto's to be authenticated by a reputable company, but other than that what should I watch out for ?

Thanks.

DanBessette · November 7, 2015 12:34AM

That 53 Pee Wee is the greatest looking baseball card of all time.

Beck6 · November 7, 2015 12:42AM

Tough hall of fame rookie. Only 7 graded to this point.

Dialj · November 7, 2015 12:57AM

Just picked this up. Will be submitting on my annual membership.

BPorter26 · November 7, 2015 1:30AM

Tennessee.... That's a sweet pickup on the "Ice Bowl" ticket. Congrats on the pickup!!!
