Nice looking Mays for the grade. A good way to start the new year. I have my eye on several Mays cards but have not yet pulled the trigger on any of them.

Upgrades to my 1975 Topps set. The George Foster and Reggie Jackson really needed upgrading and I'm glad to add these 2 specimens.

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?

54 Teddy
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? Last edited by brian1961; 01-21-2015 at 10:51 AM. |

The color on the Mays seems really vivid. Held up well these 60+ years!

Picked up this 70 Reggie Jackson.
As for as the centering on the 72's I have been trying to find a centered Johnny Bench IA and have not had any success. Cannot imagine trying to complete the set centered. Is it just me or or are the hands on the 53 Mays just a little out of proportion? Very cool looking card and it is on my bucket list. |

To finish out the month with something i been wanting for a while,
but first heres what was on my mind all last night: Buyers remorse?? Sorta say, I always wanted this card, but when i saw i was at my max, i was second guessing on upping the bid. The drama is there is also several other auctions ending in a week or so that have many items i also want to have. Have you ever thought of hoping of not winning an auction, in hopes on bidding something else. Wheres the lottery when you need it. Well i had went to bed early last night, at it was at its max. The result was it held up for the last 4 or so hours when it ended and quite happy of grabbing such a iconic card. The card: These are very hard to find centered and with good focus.

Rob - nice card of an overlooked HOFer.
Those '49 Bowmans really pop when in the right condition. I am looking for a Spahn and Snider from that set. Well done. |

Thanks!! It took me a few years to find the right one for an affordable price. Either too expensive or severely flawed. Love those 48/49 Bowman/Leaf sets...
