'59 Goodness
 
1 Attachment(s)
Bought all these cards raw as part of my completion of the set and submitted to PSA a while back. The Clemente is hard to see, it is a 7.5. The Mantle is undergraded (of course LOL). Let's see your '59s!

ALR-bishop 04-01-2017 01:28 AM

Dan-- if you have not checked it out there is a very good 1959 baseball thread on CU in the PSA Forum with several 59 enthusiasts involved

Thanks Al, will definitely check that out. Very impressive Tony. I need a scanner like yours!

DBesse27 04-01-2017 12:02 PM

Tony, the color and centering on that Berra are amazing!

quitcrab 04-02-2017 06:13 AM

Tony. How did the Banks only get a 6. That looks great ! Thanks for sharing! Scott

Aquarian Sports Cards 04-02-2017 07:39 AM

some of the prettiest 6's I've seen. Anyone else remember when 6's has noticeable corner wear???

ALR-bishop 04-02-2017 08:03 AM

Very nice cards Tony. Gibson pink ? There are variants of the Wynn card. Nellie in his THINKER pose, Topps finally gets Musial right. Ford in what became a typical pose for them. Great shots of Kaine, Berra ( why did the Cardinals sign Garogiola over Yogi, two local kids),Maris( ultimately a Cardinal although Topps was ambivalent about it ?). Good on of Duke too. And old Bob Clemente. First Topps set I finished and one of my favorites

Hello from Dubai

3-2-count 04-02-2017 09:27 AM

Thanks everyone. I've sifted through literally thousands of 59's before settling on examples like these that fit. My set consists of all 6's and 6.5's (nothing lower or higher) and eye appeal is king.

Scott thank you and I agree on the Banks. Would not look out of place in a 7 slab, as many of these wouldn't.

Hi Al. Good to hear from you my friend!! Here's more EX-MT beauties. If anyone else has some 59's to share, post away!!!

Love the 59 set! I am building both a raw set & PSA 6 set. Such a beautiful, colorful set.

gnpaden 04-07-2017 05:59 PM

Best pick up I had was the 59 Lumenti "no option" verison I got for $1 and it graded a 6. Score there.

Sidepocket 04-19-2017 12:14 AM

My favorite set and the first one I finished.

Bravo!

Here are a couple of The toughies.

Hi everyone! Glad to see this 1959 Topps thread here. Great to see Tony, Al, Ray, Dan and others. I kind of like the 1959 Topps as well. :D

Mariner 05-31-2017 10:22 PM

The scans that you all have put up are amazingly nice!

GasHouseGang 06-01-2017 01:08 AM

Seeing those 59's make me realize I'm not the only one that got shafted on some of my grading submissions!

ALR-bishop 06-01-2017 07:17 AM

If one wants to see some perfect 59 cards see Don's CU thread in the PSA Registry Forum.

DBesse27 06-01-2017 09:36 AM

Hi Don, great to see you here!

Mariner 06-01-2017 06:45 PM

Thanks Al and Dan...

I just received this back from PSA a couple of weeks ago....sent it in for review service....it was a PSA 9 when I sent it in....now, it is.....

ALR-bishop 06-02-2017 12:15 PM

A lot of Don's 9s and 10s can be found in this thread along with links to his Registry set

bobbyw8469 06-02-2017 12:36 PM

The graders at PSA are EXTREMELY tough on grading this set. I have had cards look like 8's come back as 5's.

Can one really tell the difference?

ALR-bishop 06-02-2017 03:50 PM

You should have covered the flips Ray and seen how many picked the 8 from the 5

Mariner 06-02-2017 09:51 PM

One of my faves....

I did that before I looked at the top of the flip, and I picked the 5 as the best looking card of the two.

unreal. I used to have a 500 count vending box that was factory fresh and they didn't look that flawless.

ALR-bishop 07-18-2017 06:51 AM

Don has escaped from photobucket purgatory

RayBShotz 07-18-2017 09:06 AM

No room for all the 59' envy that exists regarding your 59's Don.
Absolutely insane.
Nice!

The other side of heaven has been really hot this summer, Tony :-)

DBesse27 07-18-2017 07:08 PM

Ho hum. A 58 year old card of the HR King, in flawless condition. Yawn.

Hi Don :D

1963Topps Set 07-18-2017 07:16 PM

The 1959 Topps set was the FIRST vintage set I ever completed. I clearly recall picking up the Al Kaline All Star card to finish the set. I am sure I overpaid ($40.00) but the elation of fulfilling a dream seamed far more important. Sadly, this set doesn't get the love and respect it deserves. A VERY beautiful and colorful set!

1959
 
1959 was the first set I finished, so I have a soft spot for it and it's accessories, including the many variations and variants

they got me good,too.Bought Legendary Auction set for 8,000.00 ,their last auction before higher ups getting pinstripes in prison.PSA got me good and I received a ton of 5s and 6s.Heartburn!!!!!

ALR-bishop 07-23-2017 08:37 AM

Not a great scan, but these are the 3 Sullivan backs---circled copyright and no circle around copyright and period or not after A in USA, the last being the toughest

http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0759c411.jpg

But there are also two Sullivan front variants. Note brown box in lower left front border area. Given the front and back differences, who knows how many combos are possible. Maybe Bob knows :)

http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2c95bf31.jpg

And the 3 Spahn backs
