I was happy to be able to trade for this at the LCS last week. It may technically be a June pickup, but since the new thread has been started I'll just put it here.
It has some hidden flaws, but I can’t complain about the presentation overall. It’s also strangely tall, by about 1/16 of an inch - and will not fit into a standard One Touch mag case. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice additions this month boys, keep them coming. Picked up the Willie Mays example of the 1976 Jerry Jonas set on our BST Board about 6 months ago. Because of my interest in the odd ball pieces been on the lookout for the Koufax from this set, luckily, the entire uncut sheet popped up.

Great looking cards Hugh. I love finding little centered gems like this in the AH weekly auctions.

Phil, that is my kind of card! Centered, mid-grade beauty of an all time great. Awesome pickup.

Love those Berk Ross cards. Great examples.
Gotta share this photo. The 4 is the new July pickup. I had seen these two pieces years ago and dreamed of finding one of them. When the opportunity came to get them both together I jumped at it. I am fairly certain these are the two finest signed 1953 Topps Mantles on earth

I call this:
Grafternoon Delight - feeling like you commited a crime, because you won a card at such a low price only because of the early, extremely-low-traffic time of day the auction ended. It wasn't too long ago when I finally grabbed one of these awesome 1964 Koufax cards (showing him in action before 'in action' was a thing) in PSA 8 OC shape. Well, I was happy to get another one for a lot less than what the last few (with similar centering) went for, probably because the auction ended early in the day when no one was watching... 1964toppskoufax136PSA8oc02.jpg

Only a $4 card, but Brooks is Brooks and he puts me at complete for the first 6 series, still got a lot of highs to get in. 1972 is probably the most expensive set to complete card by card vs. buying a full set, among the vintage Topps base sets.
I skipped my Heritage wax last year due to the print inflation and resulting horrible odds as $ inflation increases cost, but those horrible odds have sunk the secondary market prices and I got a full run of hobby boxes for like half of retail. 3 regular, 2 high number and 2 minors should produce full base sets and a majority of SP's. It's the closest I can come to ripping vintage packs, as nobody is selling 7 boxes of 1972 Topps in my price range. It's a 1972 day! Love the very 70's design. 70-72 and 75 I like, the rest of the 70's not so much. |
