eBay has been a complete dead zone for me, but I decided to take a chance on these two 'stained' (air quotes) cards, because I'm going to break them out, put the panty hose to 'em and include them in my upcoming SGC submission video.
It's only a tiny bit of gum residue on the fronts, so it'll come off lickety split, and the Mantle HR Leaders card was graded very recently, so it is a true 8. Hopefully SGC will agree. The Rose is more of a risk, considering what it cost me, but let's see what happens... 1965ALHRLeadersMantlePSA8ST1966ROSEPSA6ST.jpg

I think this all happened 9/1 or later...
I had not intended to do so much with "bigger" cards (for me, anyway) so soon after the National - but sometimes you have to strike when the iron is hot with local opportunity. The '57 Brooks was a longtime want, busted out of an older PSA 6 holder. I now have to decide I suppose if I'm going to make an assault on the entire 1957 Topps set, as I find myself unexpectedly with the two biggest cards in it. The '57 Power Hitters is not one of those, but this PSA 4 was a nice upgrade to my raw G/VG-ish one at a show last weekend. Nice stuff, everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Yeah, the '61 Clemente is a sleeper favorite. Love the green in that card. His first batting title season.

As always, putting the rest of us to shame, Mr. Collins. Great stuff!!! Alas (I always really wanted a reason to use the word "alas")...

Finishing up the 'flip mining' through my stuff to find enough decent candidates for my next submission, so cameras should start rolling pretty soon...with loads of disappointment to follow when the cards come back.

Sorry for the crappy phone pictures
I went to the Philly Show on Friday and added these three cards to my collection. Im now two steps closer to a 56 Topps set and picked up my seventh different base card of Mantle.

Upgrade of a 1957 classic.
.There is no such thing as a bad picture of Yogi Berra's face except this out-of-focus grotesquely-registrationed 1957 Topps #407 "Yankees Power Hitters " card. So bad , so bad. ( and to add insult to injury it is soooo hard to find 407 so damned well-centered.)
PS I've always thought Harold Carmichael was movie-star/ male model handsome. |

I'm taking a bit of poetic licensing here. Only because the Hammer played Pre 1980.
I am happy to have been able to find these commemorative stamps of Hank Aaron.

That is cool. Is it an actual book of stamps or the poster from the Post Office?

Ben,
It is a sheet of 20 stamps on the plate. There are, or were, rolls of Hammer stamps. But I did not pick any of them up. Cheers, B.T.

Nice, at our PO they sometimes have posters up to advertise commemorative stamps they have for sale. I have been going to ask about getting one when it is baseball related but always forget while there.

Couple weeks later we are on a road trop to Ely, NV. As we are driving through all the small towns, I'm scoping out post offices, we stop at a couple and on the third attempt SCORE!! So I got two. That was much more fun to attach to the stamp buy then if I had just gotten them in town. Nice road trip, Hammer Stamps, and a nice little vacation in Ely. Nv. Nothing but net.... B.T.
