New here but have added quite a few Mantles to my PC. If anyone has any others I am definitely interested. Some really nice looking cards in this thread, Santa must have been good to us all!

Thanks for sharing the pickup! |
I have to admit I slept on the card for the longest time, until my buddy who works with a card dealer told me to take note of it due to the historic aspect and the centering issue. Lots of overlooked leader cards out there that have huge star power. Would probably make for a great scan thread of leader cards...

Having gained 40 pounds and made too many impulse buys (though none for big $$) in the months following my divorce, I decided to focus 2015 on the 1956 Topps Brooklyn Dodgers team set, of which I already owned a total of 0 cards. I can only buy with money I "earn" by taking care of my health, as detailed here.
So here is what I earned so far this year, along with doing some great things for my health and enjoying the immediate gratification structure that normally is missing from dieting and exercise: Attachment 175884 Attachment 175885 Attachment 175886 Attachment 175887 Attachment 175888 |
Finally!

1962 Jello Joe Torre. I have been looking for this card for a LONG time. There is now one less hole in my Torre collection.

Good for you to take some small but positive steps towards health and have it apply to you hobby in a good way. I think it's a great idea and would encourage you to start your own thread about this so we as a community can see your progress. Imagine how great you will feel both physically and emotionally when you've earned enough for Jackie Robinson or a Sandy Koufax. For those who don't know what this is all about I would encourage you to read Jason's link in his above post. Best of luck and keep us posted, Drew |
Interesting read Jason, thanks for posting. Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and really earning those card!

Even though I am primarily a postwar collector, I did want to brag about grabbing these from a favorite pre-war set of mine.Attachment 176063

Outstanding Diamond Stars! I love this set also. If I ever find the budget to collect an older set, this would be it. I have Ott and Hornsby only. Anyone know why Ruth and Gehrig were excluded?

A big one here. Very low grade, but helps me kill my 54 Bowman set.

The book had pictures of some of the most valuable cards in the hobby, one of which was this 1954 Bowman Ted Williams, which I think back then was presumed much more rare than perhaps it is today. In a way that didn't happen with the Wagner, Mantle, Lajoie, or other top cards, I saw the picture and thought, "Wow, that would be my dream card!" 35 years later, I still don't have it. Maybe someday though. Congratulations to you, Rob, on picking up such a great card! In my book, the Ted Williams Baseball Card HOF is probably... 1. 1954 Bowman 2. 1939 Play Ball 3. 1941 Play Ball 4. 1957 Topps 5. 1959 Fleer "How Ted Hit .400" (I know I just lost all credibility with this pick, but for some weird reason I am a huge fan of this Ted Williams "common.") |
Jason---
You didn't lose credibility with me, at least. I for one like the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set. Fleer spent big bucks to secure the exclusive right to print any baseball cards of Teddy Ballgame. The colorization mirrors their fine 3 Stooges release of the same year. I like them. However, methinks you should add to your listing of Mr. Williams the following two cards--- 1954 Wilson Franks and the 1952 Red Man chewing tobacco card. ---Brian Powell PS--I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in the 50s -- the 70s. What part do you hail from? |

I just picked up this card I've been wanting for a while.

Jesse:
Very nice Jackie, I have been looking for one of those too. Hopefully, one will turn up for me soon.......... |

'54 Bowman Ted Williams, then Jackie Robinson rc! You guys are on some kind of roll! Keep it up...
|
That Jackie is exactly the kind I'd want. Cover that flip and just let it hit the eye, and that centering looks fantastic. Great addition to the collection.
|
Thanks Matt, I've seen some of your stuff. If it's good enough for your collection I guess I didn't do too bad. Let me know if you want to part with one of those 51 bowman Mantles.

Love the Jackie Robinson leaf card. I would take that card any day. Congrats on adding that card to your collection. Here is my latest addition to my Bench collection. I have been looking for PSA 9 for about 6 months and finally decided on this one. Super sharp corners on this one and one of the best 9's I have seen in a long time.

Thanks George. How far along are you on the 72 Reds set?
|
I've shown this before but just added the Koosman autograph to round things out. I just wish I had sprung for a slightly more presentable card in the first place, but I was just so excited to finally be able to afford the card that I got one right away.

Thanks, I love that bench card as well. I just picked up his rookie but it's definitely not a psa 9. |
I have about 60% complete, the high numbers get pretty pricey. It isn't a top priority, but they are beautiful cards. I like the blue on green and the red helmets really pop.

Should have a couple nice Mantles coming in the next few days, but went outside my PC and found this centered Koufax Rookie in the mailbox today!
http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...1955-topps-123 |
Great looking Koufax rookie! I need to add one to my collection. Here is what was waiting at the post office for me today. Sent this Aaron in raw and was happy with the results.
