September pickups
 

Very excited to add a 53T Mays to my collection. Just arrived in the mail yesterday.

That's a nice-looking card for the grade. Lots of small or technical flaws but nothing glaringly awful.

Nice Willie, congrats. That one's on my short list.

Beautiful Mays! Here are my pickups so far, another big one is on it's way tomorrow.

For my money, Irvin has the best smile in all of baseball. The Snider will accompany my Mantle PSA 3. I can't get enough of the 52 Bowman set, so beautiful!

Wow. Great way to start the month with a Mays

Congrats

Thanks for the compliments guys! I was really wanting a 53T Mays for a while now. If I could only find a 52T Mays for a decent price... I really regret selling the one I had six months ago (what a mistake). Anyways thanks again and the cards that Jeremy posted are NICE as well.

Finally got it! Great centering and it presents very well.

Amazing 51 Mays!
Congrats on the pickup.

Thanks Ian! It definitely took longer than I thought to find a PSA 1 with decent centering and flaws that I was ok with it. Definitely a grail in my collection.

With the help of Jay Miller (oldjudge) I was able to pick up my white whale that I've been looking for about 15 years. It's an Old Judge card of Eddie Hogan from the Cleveland team. Now I have all 5 poses of the card. Jay, thank you again for the help with the card.

Wow! I love collecting stories like this and it can only happen with the members here, congrats on closing it out Dave.

Thank you. :)

Pick this up recently. Probably paid too much, but it's a really pretty card.

I attended "The Villages" card show yesterday and pickups include a low grade 1962 Topps baseball wax box (only $30), low grade 1963 Fleer baseball lot with a Koufax, a starter set of 1969 OPC baseball, a hit to my shrinking 1961 Post cereal baseball, and some hits to my OPC hockey sets.

David, that is a pretty card!

Happy to pick up this Leaf Doby to add to my set. Now just need a Paige and Newhouser to complete it so may be a while until I do. :)

Gibby pick up. This and the Brock card look so good together with the black borders.

Just got this...

some really nice pickups every one

nice indeed

I might have to start modernizing my collection to pre 1969 those cards

Keep them coming

Great card Jamie, my favorite of all time!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Just got this from another member. Thanks David!

Wow that pops!

Beautiful Berra! One of my favorite cards of his.

Here is my latest addition to my Clemente collection.

Wow! I doubt that any of my 1971 Topps are better than a PSA 5 if that Clemente is the standard.

I feel like I've seen 1971 Topps 7's that are much more off-center, and have much more wear.

I've never cracked a slab for a regrade, but I am tempted to with this one.

I picked up a 1979 Topps complete set this month. Ozzie drives the set, so I figured it would be the logical card to show here. However, I enjoy the rest of the set, too. Lately, I've been on a buy-back-the-cards-from-my-youth kick. It's an absolute blast; I couldn't imagine a project being more fun.

Picked up my first from this small west coast set, 1958 Bell Brand.

Nicely centered Bench in today

Mays in a Mets jersey as god intended...

Not technically a new pickup, but I finally took the time to get this one back in a slab. You can’t complain about 7 days door-to-door on the regular service right now with SGC:

That cards looks like a legit 6 John. It’s beautiful. Man SGC seems to be tough these days.

Thanks. It’s accurately graded. The issues are mostly minor and difficult to see. I’m certainly not complaining about the centering.

A couple of 62's I picked up.

The Duke in today...

That’s such a good looking 5. I love mid-grade vintage.

Thanks! Centering is tougher than I thought on 64 Topps, but the Silver Fox with silver hair and in the twilight of his career is one of my favorites. It doesn't hurt that he's playing for the best team in all of baseball :cool:!

Great looking card!! Congrats.

I went to the Philly Show last night for a few hours. Vintage inventory was as strong as ever. Talked to some great people. Saw (almost) 97 year old Bobby Shantz!

And I brought home this beauty.

Philly Show Pickups
 

Picked up three mid-grade vintage cards at the Philly show yesterday. Two of 'em were raw, which felt strangely satisfying.

eBay raw card purchase
 

Snagged this from eBay. Looked good on the screen. Looked just as good at my desk, with optimal lighting.

Got a really nice PSA "1" 1969 Mantle to finish my final season Willie, Mickey, and the Duke trio. Two of them ended up in great uniforms, too bad Mickey didn't get traded to the Mets. Ah, what could have been...

For the second time this week, I picked up an all time great from the 1971 set.

Very nice!
