That is awesome Jerry. Did you recognize him right away? He probably still looks like George Foster. So cool!

Nothing really fancy, the card only cost about $11 + shipping. But it's the first card I've bought in some time, so it feels good to have something new to look at.



Latest addition to my Topps Robin Yount PSA master set. Really nice card with exceptional centering.

I'm hoping to make it back to work by the summer. If so, then I'll be able to really start playing with my collection again. I had to choose one "hobby", and my movie collection took precedence, as I'm going to write about film. 18 months later, and nearly 900 blu-rays into my collection, I'm ready to get back to work on the '75 Topps set, the '53 Bowman and T206 set.

Nice card! And OT: did you get the new Blu Ray of To Live and Die in LA? A beaut.

been looking for one in my price range for some time. Really like the image, and for a 2, the corners and centering are pretty good

Congrats! Gorgeous card!

Here are a few cool cards I got this week...

1952 Wheaties Stan Musial card with an outrageous wet sheet transfer image on the back!

1957 Washington Senators Team Issue of Whitey Herzog. The note on the back was penned, signed and sent to a fan by Herzog himself on May 28th, 1957. Love how he turned this team issue into a postcard!

1972 Minnesota Twins Team Issue of Bert Blyleven

[jl4jc2001]

Hi Curt!
Yes, he looks exactly the same, except for gray beard stubble. Lol

[DBesse27]

The Musial and herzog are off the charts!!

[Touch'EmAll]

Super nice - thrilled to get this one! 1948 Satchell Paige, Picture Pack, SGC 70. Looks like the only one SGC, and zero in PSA. Not too many of these in this shape floating around.

[JollyElm]

Soon to be appearing in my 1961 high numbers for trade thread, the Moose is loose…

Awesome pickup!!
But it can't be the only one in SGC, because there is one sitting in my baseball room...

[DBesse27]

NICe Satch!!

I'd give the centering more than a pretty good well done!

JoeDfan - You are right. Should have said in that grade. And thanks y'all.

[bnorth]

Got these awesome 75 Twinkies card in the mail today.

[jason.1969]

Wow, will live vicariously through all of you for a bit longer. Blown away by that 51B Mantle and the Satchell Paige.

I'm at 90/160 and 12/64. Been at it for two years. Trying to emphasize centering and picture quality, which is quite the challenge with this set.

[irv]

Very nice cards, Ray, and looking good so far. Bliggity!

[jb67]

Ray, love the Mays pickup congrats.

Bliggity, sweet looking Bowmans. Well done.

[Neal]

sweet Willie!

I bought a sealed set of the 1977 Red Sox team issue. These photos measure 7" x 8.5". They used the same exact photos in 1976 & 77, with the only difference being that Petrocelli was included in 76 and George Scott in 77. This set included Boomer, so the Yaz is a 77.



Bought it for the Yaz, but it included other great players. Here are the other HOFers and my personal favorite, Dewey:





The other players included in the set were Scott, Fred Lynn, Rick Burleson & Denny Doyle.

A couple of rookie pick-ups:

[yanksfan09]

White Plains show pickup... Always loved this card...

[Stonepony]

I love the 51 too Erick!

[DBesse27]

51 bowman Williams = one of my favorite sets, one of my favorite players, and a terrific pose. Congrats on picking up a hell of a card!

[yanksfan09]

Thanks guys!

[RayBShotz]

What a great image and an incredible piece of baseball lore.

Nice! Any interest in moving the Fisk to a new home?

Erick I just bought one myself and it was trimmed 👎🏻. So I returned 👍🏼. So I'm still in the hunt for a low grade centered example.

Todd what is the Murray card I've never seen it before ps cool pick ups .

[DBesse27]

Carl, PM coming.

[mrmopar]

Hostess card

1960 Topps Clemente that shares a space with Sandy Koufax.


I also have a Koufax that shares space with Clemente

[Iwantmorecards77]

Thank you, Dustin. Curt is correct - it's the 1978 Hostess.

Been looking for one for quite some time. Would've preferred a PSA 7, but this raw card was pretty decent. Not exactly evenly cut, but at the price I paid for it, at least I now have one!

...great cards everyone!

[jchcollins]

Modest pickup, but continuing to add to my '65 Topps Cubs team set...

This Hammerin' Hank isn't that badly off-center and I got it at a beautiful price, so I'll take it until I can trade it for a nice ungraded version…

Those are awesome Jason, nice pick ups.

[Jim65]

I love when I find a piece I didn't know about. I didn't realize the OPC version of Agee's Topps poster listed him with Mets, unlike the Topps which had him on the White Sox, just picked this up.

[irv]

Gehrig P/U is new but the 52's were acquired back in December. (Beckett slabs with inner bags, hence the blur. Think I may try to crack these? Thoughts?)

Thanks, Frank!

[JollyElm]

Two 1961 Whitey Fords bring me that much closer to finishing the set…
