August Pick-ups!
Figured I'd start it off.
Nothing special, just set building stuff.

Nice cards. I really like that Gibson card. What would be a good caption for the Powell card ?

Nice cards everyone. For some reason I've always disliked that Brett card, I hate that profile picture, would have been so much better if the photographer would have called his name and snapped the photo when George looked over. Anyway, here's a few more for my '61 set. Trying to drown my sorrows at not making the National! Down to 39 to go to complete this bear!

brob...great 61s...I wish I was needing only 39, I'm a little behind you and only have TWO high numbers...lol. It IS a beast, and I thought the 66s were bad.
Picked up this 65 Yaz...only need ONE more for the 1965 set...a Jim Hunter rookie (526)...fun being down to one. The Yaz is a little OC, but sharp non the less...

Thanks Al & John, I knew the High #'s were tough but they are by far the toughest of any set I've built. I'm down to 7 high #'s and can't be done with them soon enough, but I like to work on the tough sets, the chase is half the fun!
BTW - John, that's my fav. Yaz card! |

both cards have a very nice eye-appeal regardless of the grades, specially that Harmon is just a nice looking card. |

Great Yaz, Hoot, Mick-- this Post War thread has got some life this month!
Landed one of my toughest centering targets of all time; had been holding out for a centered Carew at a good price forever. I also learned a lesson I will keep in mind forever; saw the PSA 9 Winfield and took a flyer because the centering, color, and corners were so sweet, and the central image was clean. I saw the stray white PDs in the scan and figured I'd find a way to live with them. Lo and behold, I get it in hand, and those dots are so small and unobtrusive. Amazing how a blown-up scan can magnify and in effect overstate a card's flaws! I gotta keep in mind that in-hand certain aspects will look way different. |

Great cards Matt! I especially love the Nolan Ryan.
Another pickup for me. Thanks to Chris (pawpaw) for finding this one and bringing it to my attention. Almost done with my team issue/premium photo run.

Dont i get a finders fee? JK. glad to help a fellow member out, wasnt sure what it was, and neither did the seller apparently. Other than it was a team issue, and i knew you had it on your want list.

Haha, I will think about the finders fee. To be honest, I am not entirely sure what it is either. I saw another one that Mantle sent to a fan in 1967 in response to an autograph request, so I assume it was some sort of team, or personal, issue from 1966/67. I wish there was a resource for these team issue photos as I have a handful that I just cannot date.

September
Phil--nice cards, but surely you are in violation of multiple forum protocols by posting these in the August pick up thread in September. The fact you may have bought them in August would seem to be a weak defense

Sorry, my mistake, I meant to post them in the September Pick-Up thread
|
#26

Phil, I'll start a September pick up thread. You can show those fine pick-ups in it as well, therefore putting the Net54 universe back in balance. Maybe not, though there is certainly a rule against double-posting!
