Took me a while but I finally incorporated my Joe D Exhibits card into my office display. I wish I could say the bat has historic, but it's just my souvenir from the Louisville Slugger museum.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d03f43e290.jpg

Cool display!

Picked this up recently and just got around to scanning it today. Technically not an August pickup; however, is being shown for the first time.

Please options wanted ! I never bought a card that was graded by BCCG .
|
I don't know BCCG well nor do I collect graded cards. However, I'll share two opinions.
1. Any Aaron RC is a great pickup! 2. The card definitely wouldn't get anything close to a 6 from PSA! (Unless a really big customer submitted it.) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |
Thanks Jason ! I know the grade from BCCG is crap I was more concerned with
Authenticity . I assumed since it was Beckett that at the very least the authenticity would be something they check the same way they do with the regular grading to make sure it is unaltered . |

I don't want to assume anything, but I believe BCCG slabs are for modern cards ? :confused: At this time, BCCG is only able to grade cards of standard size and thickness. For vintage cards (1980 and older) the book value (ungraded price based on the Beckett price guide) can not be more then $300 in value if you wish to have the card graded by BCCG. Beckett Vintage Grading services is the way to have a vintage card graded. The service recognizes the difference in production technologies between modern and pre-1981 cards, especially in the condition of the cards' surface and edges. Cards produced earlier than 1981 are generally recognized as "vintage" cards by most dealers and collectors. |

Picked up a few cards after a break for a couple months.

Hard to get more historic than 61 Maris. (Still the record, in my opinion.)

Nice card either way, but if that is a pin hole, I believe the best you'll get is a 1? |
That is a good question, which I cannot answer because I didn't see it until after dropping my mail at the post office this morning. But yes, if it's a pin hole, a 1 will be coming my way.
I am hopeful that it is something on the scanner, because I did take a pretty good look at that corner at various angles. I have made worse mistakes, though. ETA: It shows on the seller's scan too, so it may very well be a pin hole. Ugh. |

Good luck. :) |

No it wasn't mentioned. But it's a nice enough card that I'll probably just bust it out of its case, eat the grading fee, and include it in my ungraded collection if it turns out to be a pin hole, as now seems likely (see edit).
ETA: I looked at a bunch of others online and it is almost certainly a recurring print defect. They pretty much all have a spot there. |
1960 Topps incoming set adds
a seller on ebay was running a set break and I am glad I caught him selling them at the right time, picked up the following three, they all range EX-Mint

Glad to hear, for, Slider, it is just a PD. :) |
Today at our local monthly show I found these in the dollar box. So now I am the second person hoarding this card LOL!
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...can%202_2.jpeg Then I purchased "The Julie" collection, and also a '64 Topps World Series card with a '64 Bazooka stamp of Elston Howard afixed http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...03%20copy.jpeg Best find of the day a trio of 1964 Topps Beatles cards. Shari writes: "Ella isn't he a doll?" "Ella Here keep this & think of me everytime I get a double I will give it to you". "Ella Please never give up your dreams and always remember me" You were a true friend Sharon! http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...can%204_2.jpeg |
LMAO at the Sharon notes!

I have seen pics of pinholes in all sorts of places but thought maybe the previous owner liked to hang his cards at a 45 degree angle? |
John, please accept my apologies. In retrospect, I didn't even need to say that. I see that you were just providing additional information. I could have just said "thank you", and acknowledged that you were posting something that could benefit the OP (or others) down the road.
I didn't mean for my comment to come off as being snotty, but it sure looks like it did. Thank you for chiming in. :) Quote:

Setup at a local card show today to sell some closet junk. Had a good time sharing a table with Jim (jimtigers65). Spent the proceeds on this guy.

Memory Lane Win
1 Attachment(s)
After looking for quite some time, I was able to score a '54 Kaline last night in the Memory Lane auction. I got it for $532 + BP = $638. While it is not the $450-$500 card that it was 6-8 months ago, based upon recent trends, I was pleasantly surprised to have landed it. What was more surprising was that it was only 4 bids and I placed the winning bid over a week ago.
There was one on Ebay (a 6) that sold on Thursday for $720 and one that will end soon that is heading in that direction. My upgrades are now down to just a couple and Kaline was a big hurdle. PWCC sold one for $1400+ last month and it might have been a PWCC exception/higher end example, so happy that I got it where I got it and maybe a sign that things are starting to settle? |
Great mid grade examples fellas!
Love the DQ stuff! |
My latest impulse pickup
I picked up this Robinson exhibit at a show on Saturday. Is it a good one? I've heard that there are reprints of this card. I'm not sure what to look for.:confused:

When I saw it, I thought it looked good; but then I realized I didn't have a clue. I just thought it looked naturally old. What would one look for/at to determine authenticity? Anything in particular? Thanks |
