November Pickups!
I'll kick things off. Happy to get this really nice '65 Rose PSA 7!

Shoutout to P-town. Great Rose and his best card IMHO. Love that centering!

I’m torn re Rose. I’m working on a HOF collection, so he’s obviously not included, and buying his cards kind of makes me queasy for equally obvious reasons. And yet…he has some great-looking cards, with those mid-60s Reds uniforms. And I got into collecting cards as a kid in 1986, when the first cards in the Topps set had his earlier cards all lined up. So those cards became almost mythical to me, and I still get a little twinge of that feeling when I think about owning them. |

Otherwise, I feel like the community holds him up as equal to a HOF and his prices definitely are in line. |

I just love well-centered '63 Fleers. I am getting close to finishing the set, have 51 out of 64 now. Demeter is one of my favorites from the set- he looks like Sheldon from Big Bang.

He really does :)

November Pickups!
Not high end obviously, but one I’ve wanted for awhile. I think a 4 on postwar vintage is a nice compromise between affordability and eye appeal.

This has always been a tough raw card to find centered, especially top to bottom, imo, so, while just looking at other 52's, I came across this one and decided to grab it up.
It is not perfect but I believe this is the most centered one I have ever seen when searching for raw cards. |
And another Meal Ticket for good measure. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6f0d0fa904.jpg

I have wanted one of these for about as long as I can remember. Finally was able to pull the trigger and I think the eye appeal is excellent!

Beautiful 52 Robinson! Looks like a 5.

Sharp looking card, and a huge one off the list I imagine? |

Happy to find these at the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club show in Wilmington, MA this weekend.

Absolutely! This was on the want list for a long time. Definitely one of the top 3 cards in my collection now. I came close to settling for lower eye appeal cards but Jarrod helped steer me back on track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not doing the '53 set or anything, but I've always liked Haddix and the story of his 12 inning near-perfect game in 1959. Love the fact that my town (Winston-Salem, NC) is mentioned on the back of this card - Harvey played here in 1947 in the minors.
The grade here appears to be based only on centering, which is a shame. The corners are 6-7 quality. I'll take that kind of undergrading all day long... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6320f4f8fe.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
My 2 pickups that arrived yesterday. I'm very happy to pickup the Transogram Koosman, tough card from a tough set. Love seeing everyone's pickups this month!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4ccf85d871.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...452ce24ea5.jpg

Raw but very affordable, $23 for the pair. Couldn’t pass that up.

Talk about rabbit trails. I had to go pull all my 67T Frank Robinson cards, and yep, the first name is high and outside on every one.
And on another note, I went to the LCS yesterday to get supplies, and they had a new case set up for a new consignor. So of course I had to buy some random cards. Here is the best of them. |

Went to a card show in St. Louis today. It was my first show in about five years, and I cannot believe how well attended it was. I have sort of been messing around with completing a third 1973 set, the first year I started collecting. Picked all of these up for $200, including this awesome complete set of blue team checklists. In great condition and unmarked. I had always been interested in them, but hardly ever saw them. I asked the dealer what he would take for the complete set, and he gave me a great price. Glad I went! PS. Still no idea how you guys upload pics to this site.

I use "My Documents" on my computer and use that to upload cards from there to here. I'll try my best here: First thing is, below every post that you post in (scroll down slightly) you will see "manage attachments" click on that then go to "choose file" in the upper left corner when the other tab/window opens up. From there, choose "my documents or whatever file/folder you have uploaded your pics to on your computer. Simply click on the pic you want to share here then click on open or upload or whatever your computer program reads then to the right of "choose file" here on the secondary window click "upload" then wait a couple of seconds to see your pic/scan populate below the area below "choose file" that will read "current attachments" then scroll down on that secondary window and click "close this window" then simply hit "submit reply" either right below here or right below where it reads "manage attachments" and that's it. You'll see there is also, in the smaller window that pops up after hitting "manage attachments", a place to upload a file using URL's. I have never used that but I assume that would work also if you have your pics or whatever saved that way? Just a tip, your pics will not load if they are too big, especially pics from a phone but some will downsize automatically by this site. Try and see? If your pics are too big, Google picture resizer (there are many) and downsize them until they are small enough to be uploaded here. I hope I explained this clear/easy enough but if not, don't hesitant to ask if needed. (Hopefully I haven't left anything out?) Good luck.:) |
Thanks Irv. I take the pictures with an Ipad ( or I have also done with my phone before). I then follow the steps you listed. I guess this site has a problem with Apple software? Or maybe I need to work on resizing them as you suggest. Will give that a shot sometime. Thanks for take the time to type your response.

My 1941 and 1948 Carl Hubbell cards arrived this weekend. Am normally a Dodger collector and Giants hater, but I have a soft spot for Hubbell, Terry, and Ott.
