I was very happy to get this card in the mail today. I have been looking for a nicely centered 68 Rose and finally found this one. This card looks as good most 9's I have seen.

jb67 - outstanding card. Excellent eye on that one.
Those '68s seem to be all over the place on centering. Finding a well-balanced T-B/L-R is no easy task. Well done. |

very nice 68 rose! I love 8.5's. can usually snag for a fraction of what a 9 goes for and usually no difference in the quality of the card.
i've been working on the mad hungarian basic topps set. don't even think he has that set requested on the psa site, but usually that tends to work in my favor price wise.... here's a few that arrived today: |

For my 1956 Set
For my Clemente Set Both are a little more OC than I would like, but I got these well below VCP average, so I couldn't pass them up! Last edited by wilkiebaby11; 03-03-2015 at 11:52 AM. |

Yossarian thanks for the props.
begsu1013 those are two very nice looking 9's of the Mad Hungarian. Hard to find cards in both of those sets centered. I had forgotten about his nickname. Thanks for sharing. |

Upgrade for my 75 Topps set. Already had a PSA 7 specimen but this SGC 7 is centered better.

When I first saw a copy of this card as a kid, I thought that the black thing on Nolan's sleeve was an errant Sharpie mark...

I broke my spending rules for the chance to buy these in person from the original owner (opened the packs back in 55/56) and share stories and memories from our lifelong loves of baseball. The fun was worth more than the cards here.

I was very happy to pick up all of these off ebay last night. With the Jose Mendez, Rube Foster, Buck Leonard, and Pop Lloyd I already owned I believe I now have all of the HOF inductees from this set.

Agreed on the Joe D! Someday I will plan to add a DiMaggio, and your post makes me think 1941 might be the one to go for. But like you, I've definitely seen a ton that don't look nearly as nice as yours.

Pretty excited about this one. Not thrilled with the grade, as the box is in pretty good shape except for where it was opened. But it's the only complete box Mays graded, and only 1 of 2 examples of the 1963 Box graded by PSA. And who doesn't love raspberry "imitation flavor"?

Makes ya wonder with all the talk that we need organic this and that, and yet plenty of people who were raised in the Imitation Raspberry Flavor Jello Era have lived to ripe old ages!
Saw this pop up on eBay for cheap and could not resist! The card is in hand and in natural light the crease cannot even be seen, which is so awesome. The focus is mad crispy, too. Last edited by MattyC; 03-09-2015 at 08:03 PM. |

I for one don't.
However, that is one sweet box. I'm not sure what criteria they use to grade boxes, but I would just ignore the grade. Bad as it is, the grade does not detract from the beauty of the card or of the box. PS some really nice cards so far this month. I especially like the Mantles, Clementes, and '56s. |

Will bring the level of Aaron awesomeness down a bit but continue the Hammer theme nonetheless.
The magazine is what I believe to be Aaron's first solo cover on a national publication. (First SI wasn't till 1969!) The two cards are from the 1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-lites set. Prices are funny...I see anywhere from $10-$150 for mid-grade. Note that the "beats Yankees" photo is actually Aaron's "beats Cardinals" pic...an error that was corrected in the 1961 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops set.

These two just came in the mail. The Koufax is for a team set I now have 14 of 24 cards for. Am curious if you think it was a good value at $77. It was advertised as EX but has much rounder corners than that grade would warrant. Of course, a true EX would have cost much more than $77.

Nice looking cards Jason.
Just my amateur opinion but if Sandy hand Monte's corners I would say you got a steal, but as is I think you paid a fair price for him.

Yes, I would love to trade corners if I could! I worry there may come a day when I look at my framed 56 Dodgers display and regret these corners. But if that happens, I'm hoping I can recoup most of what I paid.

This was the card that first really sparked my interest in "old" star cards as an 11 year-old back in 1988, in the midst of the Mattingly & Canseco soaked hobby that existed at the time. I found it waiting for me at a wonderful place (which is now long gone) called The Red Lantern Hobby Shop at Cotswold Mall in Charlotte, NC. I think with a little begging and after securing a loan of maybe $20 from my mother, I walked out with this card - worse centered than the example I have here, but sharp nonetheless and a speciman that would still have graded a 7 or at least a 6 today.
Flash forward less than a year - the kid down the street comes off the bus one day and says he has a baseball card I absolutely had to see - it turned out to be an totally destroyed (and waterlogged in its toploader to boot...) '65 Mantle #350. You guessed it...within about an hour I had traded my Sandy for the '65 Mantle. At the time I thought I had stumbled on something which surely should have been on display in Cooperstown (remember I was only 11, and at the time Mantle's status in the hobby and as an icon in the USA in general was only somewhat short of a total God...) I don't regret making the trade because it DID get me my first ever original Mantle card, but still - I have had regrets about giving up that nice '66 Koufax off and on - for nearly 30 years now. Finally made it right with some birthday cash (I'm 38 now ) a couple of weeks ago. What a card! It may have been Sandy's last year, but do remember - his swan song (27-9, 1.73 ERA, 317 K's, his third and final Cy Young award when there was only one given in all of baseball...) is the single finest in baseball history. The stat line on the back showing the record 382 strikeouts in 1965 really stands out, too. In the years since my trade for the battered '65 Mantle, I have gone through other Koufax cards - including a '57 Topps which I still have - but until just a few days ago I had never had another '66. It feels good! Last edited by jchcollins; 03-13-2015 at 04:30 PM. |

On a side note, I was struck by how Monte's name was signed "Monty" on that card. So I did a bit of research and found his 1952 Topps card has him as Monty Irvin (Monford Monty Irvin), too. I wonder when/why "Monty" became "Monte"??

thanks matty! I thought I had a 51 mantle locked down the other week. ended up being a scam (search recent sales on ebay). card never showed, still kinda bummed bc I have been looking for a while. there was a 52 psa dna listed a month or so ago, but it was dog ugly and guy wanted $26K I think.
jb, thanks and if it really is a 3.5 I would crack and resubmit in a heartbeat. not much risk as if trying to crack out an 8 to go for a 9. seems like only upside and considering the day, ya never know...it could come back an easy 6-7 on a good day! lemme know if ya do and what the results are.... |

jb,
thanks for the pm. I've known about the other 52 being in the 57 spot, I just needed a quick kick in the arse to get it changed, so here she is...gave up a lil of my centering ocd to concentrate on the registration. the 57 series is a tough one in that regards. even w. my scanner it appears she is a lil washed out on the registration, but she's not... disclaimer: this isn't a march pickup, I just couldn't figure out how to display a pic in a pm. |

usps claims "rain, sleet or snow" delivery but doesn't mention anything about having to navigate thru a quarter million drunks. so, st pattys day is pretty big day here in savannah (3rd largest parade, I think) so it pretty much shuts everything down here including the mail.
however, nothing like a nice aaron sandwhich for the hangover!!! |

Agree on the Aaron RCs. They do look very nice for their grades, especially the 1.5. To me, Aaron is everything good about baseball--a guy who came from humble beginnings, faced tremendous adversity, persevered, accomplished the impossible, and ultimately used his fame and wealth to create opportunities for others.

I keep hearing the same things about the Aaron RC escalating in price recently but hard to tell from my results. Listed two for sale on Net54, both with near perfect centering, one was a 3.5 and the other was a 4 and I was barely able to squeeze out $800 for the 3.5 and couldn't even get $900 for the 4 and ended up consigning it to an auction house. Like everything else, they will probably escalate once gone from my collection.
