The top right side is a bit hinky, but man is this a tough variation to find…

Attachment 220782

We used to give my friend various Shellenback cards on his birthday way back when after he made a seemingly spurious claim of being his nephew.

Agreed Darren, that one is "stupid" tough :)

Not sure if it is really a variation or a scarce recurring print defect, but it has hobby recognition as a variation and is much sought after

62 Topps #594

I thought my '62 Topps Dodgers Team Set was complete until I discovered Doug Camilli appeared on this multi-player rookie catcher card alongside Bob Uecker. Now my team set is complete again (I think).

Had been looking for A Johnston Aaron. Hadn't planned on getting a signed one but couldn't resist making an offer on this one.

KCRfan1 02-11-2016 10:39 PM

Ian, that Aaron card is fantastic!

Thanks Lou! Haven't seen many other signed ones out there, so glad to land it.

Amazing Johnston's Aaron! I received both of these TTM in December:

Picked up two more towards this set this week:

I agree!

Tabs cut off and the original owner wrote on the back, but they still look great to me.

I hate not being able to see these type of pictures throughout the site.

Never came across this problem before, but I will admit, my computer is likely on it's last leg.

I use Google Chrome, if that means anything?

Anyone else have or is having trouble seeing all pics posted in this site?

Got this off the BST, Thanks Tom!

Wow! !!! Not all 5's are equal are they? That Maz is outstanding! Why the low grade?

jb67 02-13-2016 06:49 AM

Very nice Maz. pickup. Very strong for the grade. Congrats.

Very nice card

begsu1013 02-13-2016 07:34 AM

that maz is fantastic, great eye!

looks like only that small wrinkle in the top right corner is what keeps it in that 5...

corners and everything else are remarkable and why it's in the 5 and not a 4.5.

steal of a deal for the eye appeal though and congrats!

Cy Young collection....complete
 
1 Attachment(s)
And with this 1950 Bowman Don Newcombe I have finally completed my Cy Young winner rookie (or whatever is considered a "first year" or "prospect" nowadays) collection. This one doesn't have the vaunted centering we like to see usually but this card is absolutely pristine otherwise. Looks like it went out of the pack directly into a time capsule. I hope I look this good when I'm 65.

Maybe I'll post a group photo of my Cy collection later. Might be fun to see them all together.

DBesse27 02-13-2016 09:48 AM

Nice Newcombe! Please do post that group photo.

Finding well-centered '53 Bowmans with perfect registration always makes me want to bang my head against a wall, but boy is it worth it...

Picked up the last card I needed for the second half of my Top 100 display. With Ruth and Gehrig still outstanding, could be a while before I finish the first half.

Red Man cards are just so cool, and so inexpensive.

They just may become my next card pursuit.

Thanks! Maybe the most beautiful card in the set, but it gets overlooked. Hit the eBay BIN on it after a couple bourbons and about an hour before my eBay bucks expired.

Campy has some gorgeous cards. His 51 Bowman is awesome too.

Cool Mathews auto.

With the addition of Monte Irvin (RIP), 90 down, 10 to go on my Top 100

Like many of you, have really come to love the look of 1953 Color Bowman.

Bought a collection that had 310 !958 Topps in it. Also had 530 1959 Topps. Most of the 59's are in super nice condition. Haven't decided if I will get them graded or not. I mainly collect prewar. If I got them graded which company should I use? Also had 46 of the Ted Williams in the collection and 110 Topps Football. Not sure what I am going to do with the cards yet.

jason.1969 02-21-2016 10:07 AM

Outstanding! Maris rookie!

Nice, are you a Mathews collector?

KCRfan1 02-22-2016 09:55 PM

Nice display Jerry! The statue looks like it's in great condition.

TheBig6 02-22-2016 11:48 PM

Thanks Guys
Growing up in the 50's/60's, I was a Braves fan mainly because the first world series I remember watching on TV was when the 57 Braves defeated the Yankees in the world series.

A pox on the houses of all those who got me started collecting wrappers. You know who you are.

1951 Blue Backs, 1955 and 1956 one cent wrappers............
From eBay and Bagger's...........

Great Mathews display! Love the choice of '58T AS too. Random trivia now...

Mathews is one of nine players with more than 500 HRs as a National Leaguer. Along with Mathews, two of these other players also hit home runs in the American League. Any guesses?

autograf 02-23-2016 12:49 PM

Aaron?
