March Pickups
Spring is coming, so hang in there!!
Was really happy to tick another short print/single print (I usually say the former, but others prefer the latter definition of 'SP') from this tough set off of my list... 1971toppsgreatestmomentswhite.jpg

Darren...loving those 71's...I really need to pick up a Killebrew. I really enjoy when you post them...
Had a big weekend locally, still organizing what I picked up. Here are a couple of favorites...tough to get a 64 Mays centered, these two are working towards the goal...haha... Picked up a couple of graded HOF rookies...they didn't last long until I popped them... 5s due to centering, but corners that can cut glass, my kinda cards that look good in the binder... Picked up some great common lots of 64-66 and a huge lot of 61s. Found all three variations of this gem...even though the "partial white out" was written on probably 50 years ago! Fun find digging through the lots -

Just picked this up, this 76T Brett is hard to find centered. I hear there are some out there but I haven't seen any yet.

Very nice Al. I actually prefer this over his rookie card. Love that 76 set.
I have an SGC 7 of that card which is well centered but I don’t think quite as centered as yours. |

Here's mine. Great card, but not as well centered as yours. This is a beautiful issue in any event.

Good stuff already, everyone!
Here's some mid-grade vintage!

The centering on the 55 Mays is unreal! Super tight, super nice card...wish mine looked like that!

Nice! You are all ready for the 53 Topps thread now. And thanks for the compliment on my new Mays card, I had been looking for one of those for a long time.

Many Mays earning praise these days.

That's a beauty Peter!!! The 55 Bowmans have really grown on me and that Mays is a classic...

By virtue of my purchase of a complete set 2 weeks ago, I now own 2 of these, one of my favorite Clementes of all-time. There is just something about that pose: The empty Three Rivers Stadium, and Roberto poignantly considering his lumber. The colors also work very well here with that Pirates uni, the gold cap, and the perpetual design oddity that is 1971 Topps. Guessing this one would check in around a 6, maybe a 6.5 as it is nicely centered side to side. My other ‘71 #630 is a PSA 6 that is not quite as well centered s-s, and while still fine - does not have quite the color pop that this one has.

Just received this card in the mail today and had a good look at it. Happy to report no negative surprises...
I believe it's under graded, IMO, (high-end). Anyways, very happy with the purchase and glad to have it part of my collection. |

Great looking card, especially for a 4.5. This goes along with all the talk about how tough SGC has been lately on grades.

In the 'relatively small potatoes' department, I jumped on this one.
Smearing aside, it is an autographed (no reason to believe it's fake) version of the prized 1966 Topps #43 Don Landrum 'partially airbrushed button' variation, so it was just way too cool to pass up. The card had probably just been listed when I ran across it, so using my Spidermanesque reflexes, it took but a nanosecond for the BIN button to be hit... 1966landrum43partialbutton:autograph.jpg

Picked this up here on the forum. Been eyeing a 65 Mantle for a little while, as I inch ever closer to completing my modest, Mantle run.

A lot of nice pick ups this month! I’m trying to wrap up my 67 set. This set is a beast! I did manage to knock off a couple big boys this month, which I’m pretty stoked about!

Picked these up at a postcard/paper show in Omaha over the weekend. There was an Armour packing plant in Omaha back in the day and I'm guessing these walked out the door with an employee back in 1960.

Unfortunately there are only 6 different coins. Fortunately though 3 of those piles are Aaron, Mantle and Banks.
