These combo cards are a great way for collectors with lesser budgets to get a 1950s and 1960s Mantle card. Though in high grade the combo cards are also very expensive.

Ha thanks I had been checking once or twice a day for weeks. One was bound to turn up eventually.

Nice Pickups!
 
All look really nice Pete. Congrats!

nice cards, pete!

picked up a couple killebrew rc about two weeks ago.

and yours presents extremely nice for the tech grade.


marichal card looks great too. sucks about those 61's and whatever caused those fisheyes on just about every card. seems they are on about 90% of the cards...

edit: and still say psa chose one of the worst spots to have a logo, ie the bottom left hand corner of your killebrew. (if looking at landscaped, like you posted)

Those of you with special ladies in your life can imagine that such rooms are often met with a tinge of resentment, at least in certain situations. ("If your parents need to stay in our Hall of Fame, just make sure they don't touch anything or open the shades.")

Well, this pickup for one of the walls will soften the blow. The key here is that my girlfriend believes she is related to former MLB ump Lou Jorda, on the right of the pic. As a side note, I was astounded at the nice condition this was in. And the white vertical lines aren't creases but Norman Rockwell's version of swift rainfall.

That's my favorite Norman Rockwell painting - I have a framed print hanging just a few feet away as I type this and was awed by seeing the original in Cooperstown in '99!!

Went to my only local card store this afternoon looking for some penny sleeves and top loaders. Guy strictly deals with buying/selling hockey but recently picked these up on a trade he said.

Looking through the lot of them I chose these and got them for $20 dollars.

He did have some more Team cards, which I passed on but now I am thinking I should have grabbed those as well? Thoughts on Team Cards?

I didn't make out like a bandit as the Aaron is rough, but I don't think I did too bad?

If only Rockwell had thought about us collectors and not made his rainfall look so much like creases!

My biggest issue with this set is the fact expensive high numbered cards are umpires.

Nice pickup! Fun revisiting the April 2016 pickups as well 😉

Couple new pickups
 
I'm used to posting in the prewar section, but I still dabble in postwar here and there.

Used my ebay bucks towards these 2 beauties:
