February Pickups
First pickup of the year that replaces one I had bought when I was a kid that just did
not look good after looking it at more and more in today's times. Always wanted another. |

Of all the 60s multi player cards, that is one of the greatest.

That's a great looking 6, one corner a little soft but the centering is great. Wonder what kept it from a 7..............

Nice 1.
This was the first Gehrig card I ever got, in 1973. I now have another one:

In "The Goonies" (1985) this is also the card that was found with Chester Copperpot's remains by the kids at the start of One-Eyed Willie's tunnel. Unfortunately it doesn't add up, as the character was supposed to have gone missing in 1935. Guess Stephen Spielberg wasn't a card collector...

I haven't seen it in many years, but I am pretty sure the card used in the movie that one of the kids holds up for a split second is the '73 Topps Gehrig. It's possible I'm wrong. But I remember thinking that as a kid 25-30 years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice, Tony!
A few more purchased late January but with February arrivals. (Les Moss and Joe Muir are upgrades due to wrinkling in my originals)

Killer Sparky!
Irv - Way to go. How many do you have now? Tony - That Mantle is off the charts! Way to go my friend. Neal - That Jackson holds a special place for me. Yours is an amazing mid-grade. Nice pick -up. RayB

Doesn't fit anything I'm currently working on but all this talk about mid grade inspired me to chase this one.
Not sure you can find a better 5. This one really jazzed me.

Ray--
I agree with your assessment on your killer '52 Bowman Hodges. Your mid-grade has ultra-high grade appearance, and really, that's what counts. I love it!!!! The same thing happened to me with a 1951 Bowman Sammy Baugh. I bought it in the 70s 'cause I love the looks of the card, and the colors on mine are off the charts. Nevertheless, it came back a PSA 5. I'm not looking to upgrade! If you're a big Gil Hodges fan, I would like to point you to a common card today with mesmerizing appearance and an enthralling story. Go to eBay, and search for Dormand Gil Hodges PSA. A MINT specimen can be had for very little, though watch for the pesky print spots and a fish-eye in the rich dark green grass. Not that many years ago, that PC was the white whale in the Dormand PC set. I discuss the find in my book, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. I personally bought an SGC mint specimen from a board member here, and it looks super in their holder. A Dormand Hodges will probably never rise much in value, but it is so beautiful and was made in that great era of 1952 to 1955. Not trying to hijack anything, just thought I would put in a plug for the Dormand Gil. No, I only own my one copy! There's few of you who don't know about this beauty. ---Brian Powell ---Brian Powell |

I don't own any, but the Dormand's are very pretty cards and of course some of those stars can be had in nice shape for a fraction of the price of a comparable Topps or Bowman issue.

Koufax Rookie
I waited a long time to find this card. Best 6 I could find and paid a bit of a premium for it but not the sky high prices of higher grades. My main concern was finding one with no print issues, especially in the yellow area on the left. Sorry the photo is lame.
Go Dodgers! |

Great Koufax there!
...another addition to the rookie collection... |
