June Pickup Thread
 

Ok, given the Rose post I just replied to - I'll start.

Technically a last-day-of-May pickup, is this guy. I could have kicked myself for selling at least two graded copies of this card in the past - the last before the Covid boom in a decent grade which today would go for well more than 2x what I sold it for - but alas, all's well I guess that ends well. The 1963 Topps set is my favorite of the decade and a runner-up on my list of all-time sets, so at some point in continuing to deem myself a "set collector" - this had to happen. Please convince me never to get rid of this card...

I just replied to your reply on the Rose card thread and I was thinking, wish he posted a pic. Then I saw this thread...great card! And hey...don't sell it! :)

Again, looking for new ways to collect. See if I can get a PSA auto of each Killebrew Topps card...started with one of my favorites, 1969 Topps.

Nice Killer. He has one of the best vintage autos out there...

I won't! Hey, easy for me to say, right? :p

Had this in the wrong thread. A nice start to June.

Being a set collector, not sure what type of trouble I am starting.

Nice Mick's guys! Um yeah, your in trouble...:)

I’ve always wanted this card. I think it presents well.

That's a nice example of a great card. Well done!

Was glad to scoop this up on the 'Bay. Tough Dormand PC (with postal cancellation) that I believe has been addressed in his hand.

And congratulations on the several nice cards above, fellas.

Pretty Happy to add this one:

Had a good old time at a show today and brought home a trio of pricey SGC-graded sixties' superstars: (If I was a seller, I would say a severely undergraded and very well centered) 1961 Topps #578 Mickey Mantle All Star, a beautiful 1963 Topps #300 Willie Mays, and quite a delicious 1965 Topps #300 Sandy Koufax.

Anyone want to play a game?
No one ever discloses what things cost when they post their epic pick-ups (surely, I'm not the only one who thinks about that stuff, right??), so let's change that a bit for the heck of it.

Have a little fun and take a guess at what these three cards ended up costing me (as a group) at the show.

The winner gets nothing but bragging rights. Sorry. :D

Welcome to the set collectors circle, and yes your in big trouble!!

These three cards I added to my collection from a board auction:

I also picked up these two stars from the 1957 Topps set in a different auction early this month:

These two autographs were included in the lot with the above two cards:

Since I don't collect autographs, I'll probably put the two autographs up for sale.
