WOW, awesome pickups MattyC!
|
Yea very nice Mantles. The color on that 1960 makes it look like it was just pulled from a pack yesterday.
|
Thanks-- yes, that is what blew me away on the 1960 card. Pulsing vibrant color in hand, bright white borders, no PD like so many, and a focused Mick :) :) :)

MattyC,
Now that is a nice batch of Micks. The 60 Mantle really pops when you look at it. Hard to imagine any better color and clarity on any card even a 9. That 53 Bowman is a real keeper and that 54 Bowman has got to be under graded for sure. Congrats. |
Nice job as always MattyC.

MattyC Fantastic Mantles keep em coming.

Two thumbs up on buying the cards there. Hank looks 8 to me. And the focus on that Ryan is insane. As if that card didn't have enough in Topps or OPC to make it impossible to find a nice one, the image if often a tad bit blurry.

MattyC,
BAM!!! Not a homerun but a Grand Slam Homer with that 58 Mantle! I cannot find anything off on the centering. Looks to be perfect centering. Wow! |
Gone for a week and MattyC blows up the week with Mantles up the wazoo!!! Awesome job indeed.

Added over the summer: two old-label SCD's
http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...BVGSCD_NEW.JPG
...Got lucky and added some centered ancient old old SCD-graded 1952 Topps to the glacial-paced dream collection of centered 1952 Topps......at the rate I'm finding centered 52's , my granddaughters will still be working on it , long after I've rolled snake-eyes. ..The subgrade for " Centering" on the Hank Sauer is "8.5" which is damn high praise indeed , coming from the old curmudgeons at the old Beckett . ... |

I don't collect these at all, but I was a huge fan of Thurm's, so I grabbed it up…

For one reason or another, I am prone to drift and lose focus but I am back on my Teddy Ballgame focus and plan to stay on point for a while. The photo is crisp, unlike the somewhat blurry scan but you get the idea.

Upgrade for mental health reasons.....
http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...EBERRA_NEW.JPG
...the outstanding registration and focus and centering on my new one just beckoned me like the Sirens flirting with Odysseus....since I wasn't tied to a mast , I succumbed . ...at least now you can make out the numbers on Mickey's bats....The old-label BGS card ( subgrades: 9 , 3 , 6 , 5 ) looks much better in person than in my scan---Beckett slabs don't do so good in antique first-generation scanners...must get one with that " CCD " thing I keep hearing about.. . . |
You guys are closing the month out with style. Congrats, all!
|

New addition to the collection and now one of my favorites:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTkzWDcwNg...V1o2~/$_57.JPG #375.... Three more to go! |
Wow, what is it?

Picked up these two recently. I have gone a while without buying anything and decided to start again. Am trying to focus on lower grade with decent centering and nice eye appeal.
I think I did well with these two: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ds/image_4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ds/image_5.jpg |

Love that '54 Jackie, very sweet "4"!!!
|
Thanks! Very solid centering and the white border is very clean

Gorgeous Robinsons! My question is, how the hell did that '54 get a 4 from PSA? What am I not seeing?

Grading "Rules"

...any wrinkle on the front , no matter how hard it is to find ( for us ) is an automatic technical "4"...there's a lot of beautiful "4"'s out there.. .. |
Thanks! I'm really really happy with it.
There is a light wrinkle along his upper lip. It is a beautiful card and that brings the grade down. Quote:
|
Man, would I love to have that 57 Mantle! Wouldn't we all!!
|
You guys have opened my eyes to the potential hidden in any PSA 4 slab. The '54 Jackie is a great card. The '57 Mantle is the best centering I have ever seen on that card. Excellent additions and probably easy on the wallet. Well played all around.
