April Pick-Ups
 

I’ll start...

Been a very long time since I have picked up anything for my ‘56 collection - been mostly on a ‘60s star kick lately. Minoso is not a HOF’er but was an important figure in the game just the same...and this card is a beauty for a 6.

In other news, hey! Baseball is back! Enjoy...

Nice looking Minnie!!!

It's too bad he never quite won an MVP. Then we'd have a Minnie mini!

Finally Back from PSA
 

Months later... Happy with the grades though!

Great looking Minnie card! I have noticed, at least his 52 Topps RC has really taken off lately.
Maybe not reflective of all his current sales, but this one surprised me.

Very nice!

I'd also be glad with those grades too.

Well done. :)

My second ever high number purchase. I was glad to see this 2 looks much nicer in hand than it did in the seller's scans.

I would assume this is an early Beckett graded card?
(I will be cracking this one out too as I detest the inner baggies)

Bvg
 

I don't think it is an early Beckett (BVG) card. Early Becketts used colored labels to show the grade (for example, a gold label was used for a BVG 8) and the subs were displayed on the back of the label.

A couple more 1961 All Star HOF high numbers...

Both very nice ‘61 AS. Take a WILD guess which one is better?!?

Another Topps Giant.

Thanks. :)

A few more Jackie's

I'm going way out on limb with the Brooksie!!:D:)

Do you honestly think I DON'T immediately think of you anytime I post a Brooksie card??? :D

Just making sure you didn’t have a lapse :D

Got these back today from PSA.

These came back today as well.

I just received this card today. With the addition of this card I now need two cards to complete the set in PSA 8 or higher. One of them is on eBay.

Latest additions to my ‘54 Topps set...

One step closer to finally finishing the 1961 set...

Attachment 312004

Nice higher grade cards. Man it sure is tough to find any '61s without print spots...

For very little money, relatively, you can't beat these.

I haven't previously been one to buy Authentic cards, but the price to eye appeal ratio here was just too good to pass up, as a Mays this nice would otherwise simply be out of my range. This completes my First-Ballot Post-War HOF Rookie set, and leaves me two shy of the full post-war rookie set (Mathews and Paige).

Gorgeous Mays Michael! Love those untrimmed Authentic graded cards with great eye appeal and nice centering

A little rough but complete 1970 Transogram box.

Agreed. What was wrong with it?

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I’ve been assuming that it’s whatever is going on with the black on the left border. It’s also a little small, though, so who knows.

Yeah, to me it kind of looks like someone took an eraser to the left border. Overall, that's one of the best looking "authentics" that I've seen. You done good.

A few more for my 52 Topps run. Slowly getting there. :)
(Berardino and Jones are upgrades)

Decided to go in a different direction. Three Menko cards and a Bromide. Akiyama, Bessho (x2), Inao, and Kajimoto.

Down to 36 to go after picking these 3 up with up with ebay buck rewards

Nice cards again, SFMSs. Glad to see you're getting real close.

From the B/S/T. Thanks again, Patrick!

Thank you Dale.....it may seem close, but yet it is quite far, there are still many ebay bucks reward periods to go to finish this set. Patience is the key for me.

Looks like you also had some nice pickups here recently on your 52s....you should be getting close on the 310 and below portion of this set. Great eye appeal on the Hi# Stock card too.

I am getting there but I still need some big cards like, Berra, Martin, Pafko and Rizzuto. I have been trying for a Hodges lately as well but I'm not having much luck there either.

Surprisingly, the Stock card is a great card for a 2. Thanks. I am pretty happy with that purchase which makes me wish I went after some of the other high# cards the seller was selling. :(

And then there was one!!! With the addition of this card I now need one card to finish the 64 Stand-up set. Ron Hunt is the last one I need.

Been on a ‘54 Topps spree lately...

These arrived today. The Fleer Jackson is an upgrade for my set. I used eBay bucks to pay 2/3 of the cost of the 65 Mays.

The '54 Topps is my favorite set, but mine is nowhere near those NM cards. Very nice pick ups.

More ‘54...

It’s getting harder...

Picked this up a few weeks ago .... now I just need a 1960 Spic and Span Aaron to take a well needed spring/summer break

Very nice, Neal.

I just received these Friday and like you, I think it's time for a break. With my last 3 purchases, which were multiple cards, I have been stung with duty fees.

I occasionally had to pay, maybe 1 in 10-15 purchases, but being hit up with my last 3 purchases in a row, I'd say they now have their eye on me. :mad:

Very, very happy with this new arrival. Paid up a lot for the grade. Description had said tiny wrinkle R corner accounted for the grade. I can't find it with a loupe and I've looked hard
Attachment 313405

Thanks Irv - nice pickups for you as well! Taking a break is good stuff ... keeps ya energized!

Needed this one to fill a glaring gap in my ‘54 set... :|

Really nice Jackie, Dave. That is a beautiful card.
