Has been a slow month but decided I needed another Clemente to go with my 1957 and 1973. Decided on the best I could grab for under $20. Honestly, I didn't expect to do this nice. The ball in mid-air is a nice touch.

Great steal on the Roberto.

DanP-- more great eye cards. Palmer is tuff.

MattyC: the 55 Aaron is amazing. Screams 8 from here. Hardly see that card centered.

Lots of Aaron sightings 'round these parts. Nice 58.

And I agree Aaron's 2nd yr issues are tragically undervalued. Something tells me that won't be the case for too long.

Picked up a really nice 1962 Post Canadian Koufax as well as a PSA 7 1968 Kahn's Johnny Bench! These two had been on my want list for awhile.

Best to all,

Larry

Two more cool variations…

The Perranoski with the larger than normal blacked out area on his cap is quite a tough one to find.

You have indulged my occasional non-card posting, so here is a mag I just added to my Aaron collection. Admittedly my main reason for buying it was to solve the mystery of why the Hammer (about to get hit by a ball) would front a 1963 World Series preview mag when his team finished in sixth place, 15 games back. Well, I never found my answer, though a funny Aaron quote makes it into a feature on Berra: "Yogi is so cool you would think he was playing in a sandlot game."

I bought the card, not the holder. There's an ever slight pen mark on the white part of the right side of the card, which bothers me only in the slightest bit. The front shows very well, with sharp and deep colors and just about 60/40 centering. The back is clean and centered the same. Lets just say that I got this for about the price of a PSA 1.5 so I'll take it!

I was able to grab this 1973 Al Kaline variation with a bandage on his forehead. For some reason it's in a GMA holder, though. I had no idea Good Morning America branched out into card grading…

love those 53's! and please keep posting those print variations pick ups. i love learning about those....

i know it's hockey, but goes w. my hof rook collection. kinda a beater, but it had my trifecta: nicely centered both border and oil drip wise. it has the blue lines on the back making it a 1st print run and it was inexpensive...

I hope I don't get kicked out for showing up with nothing here anyone else would care about, but at least let me highlight a great ebay seller, goose_1, thru this show and tell.



All I bought was the 1974 Hank Aaron postcard in the upper left, just for a couple bucks. But when the enveloped arrived, I got the George Hendrick postcard, the Hartnett/Ruth photo, and the True Value Seaver/Yount panel. (Ignore the two old Isaac Newton cards purchased separately.)

I know the whole pile will strike many of you as throwaways, but I really enjoyed the surprise. (BTW, since I'm calling out a seller, my name is Jason Schwartz.)

You guys did well with those Clementes! I seen some severely O/C and when you find one like those, you hit the damn button!!
Same with the 51 Mays Bowman, someday i find a nice one, but it seems those are on the cook top and hard to find nice.
CONGRATS! to everyone too.

This may close out the thread since it's now May. But they arrived yesterday, so here you go!

The first will replace my 1964 Tommie Aaron in my Hank Aaron "Top 50" display case. And the second was essentially a throw-in from the seller. Was an effort to find a nice Aaron without the print marks present across so many 1975s.

Clemente came today. I had to sign for it. I don't lie or hide things from my wife but it is better for her health and blood pressure if we can avoid the "how much did that cost" conversation. I had the cash put away in anticipation of finding the right one - so no harm, no foul. I only say this to justify working from home so I could monitor the mail truck and meet the mail lady at the door.

Since 2:30 today, I have been to the safe 4 different times to take it out and look at it. It feels like Christmas morning. I can only imagine what it will be like when I finally get back to #311 or one of the Ruth's!

I don't know if it is only because I have been actively shopping but it felt like the 6's really spiked lately. Now that I have one on hand, the price will go back down. There was a really nice 4 in REA that went for 1700 plus BP. It might have just been an undergraded anomaly.

Here is the Aaron display with the 1975 Aaron/Mantle MVP card replacing 1964 Tommie Aaron. Not sure what I'll do if I ever get the 1955 Bowman!

Jason,
That is really cool seeing them all together.

Couple of things I noticed - I knew tha that the 61 and 70 AS cards were similar but it is really interesting seeing them virtually side by side. I will need to get my binders out to check if there are any other players that had both a '61 and a '70 beside Hank (can't remember if Mays had a '70 AS card).

Aaron didn't have a '69 AS card. I have the set, but since I bought it complete versus card by card, it hadn't really registered that he was not in that issue. Again, I will need to get the binder out to find out who the NL outfielders were - but I know that Aaron went to the AS game - he just might not have started.

Hank is my favorite player of all time. When I was 10, I sent him a letter. He sent me back an 8x10, an index card, and a Babe Ruth reprint with his signature. I also have the big Steiner picture of him hitting 715 off of Downing (signed), an Aaron/Mays signed picture, and a signed baseball.

Congrats on such a cool display.

Thanks, guys. Am curious which card you'd displace if a 55 Bowman were added. Am thinking the 1961 Nu-Card (since it's a minor issue) or maybe the 1973 Ruth/Aaron/Mays (since Aaron doesn't hold or share top billing).

Cool display of Hanks. Wonder if you gonna go after variations? I noticed the 1958 green one on the top row but i remember a while back there was talks in a thread on a yellow name variation. Saying that folks were using a highlighter to color them in.
You defintely need to get the 55 Bowman. It is nice. What about other card issues? Spic n span, johnston cookies, and i still look for that weird looking Indianaplois Clowns card. I only see one of those. There was a reprint on Ebay i seen of it.
Link to Hank Aaron cards guide: http://www.cardboardconnection.com/t...cards-showcase
You see what i am referring to in the 1958, as they show the yellow name version

Here is some info on the 1969 All Star selections. Aaron started the game, as did Mays. Topps opted for Brock and Rose though.

I know we have the May thread open and running, but I am catching up.

Jason - love the Aaron display. A great tribute to a great player.

Also, nice Clemente rookies, guys. That card is on absolute fire right now. An E-bay auction I was watching (purely out of curiosity) of a PSA 8 copy just ended over the weekend north of $25,000. Yikes. I am looking for a low grade one at a reasonable price, but that is becoming an increasingly difficult proposition. I understand that it is an iconic card of a beloved player, but anyone have any thoughts/opinions on why it is currently shooting up like that?
I can recall (not that long ago) that the 55 Clemente and Koufax rookies were basically the same price. No longer the case.

Thanks

My opinion on the price increase in the Clemente is that a new generation of ppl are realizing what an amazing human being Roberto was.

Having exited the hobby for 20+ years till just recently, I feel like Paige, Jackie Robinson, and Clemente experienced huge price gains relative to other established superstars. And to state the obvious, none of the three have added to their achievements during this same span.
