May Pick-Up Thread
Not really a new pickup but a new re-discovery. I am currently organizing my collection of Baltimore Orioles Team Issues and have owned this Brooks Robinson team issue for some time but never really paid attention to the postmark on back. I don't believe I have seen any other issues other than his Topps card that date to 1957. Obviously, this card features the same image that is found on his Topps card as well. Not the highest graded card of all time but I like the early Robinson signature as well.

Glad to see these postmarked and available in 1957. Mine’s postmarked in 1958. Wonder if they are all off center to the left?

You know we need to see your example as well... Is the name/address portion completed by Brooks on your example? The examples I have seen as well as the few that I have are all off center. Also, the team issue photos I have aren’t in the greatest shape since they were sent through the mail. I don’t have an example in front of me, but I believe the next team issue photo of Brooks was also off center (for whatever reason). I think his middle name isn’t spelled correctly on that one either if I’m not mistaken. |

My mother passed away on Sunday after battling a neurological illness for about a year. Despite the timeframe, it was super aggressive and she went from driving to almost totally debilitated in a period of not much more than 6 months. As a reminder of our happier times, I was able to pick this up yesterday at the LCS while running errands related to her service, and I guess I am thinking of this as kind of a final memory piece. Mom was the original supporter of my vintage card habit, buying me singles at now long-gone LCS’s in NC back in the late 1980’s. There was never a Ryan rookie, but there were plenty of Mantles. We had our ups and downs over the course of life like as in any family, but the happiest times I can remember as a kid were going to the baseball card shop with Mom... I’m glad she’s finally getting the rest she deserves.

My condolences. May your mother rest in peace. Hope that Ryan rookie kindles happy memories every time you look at it. My Mom, gone 15 years now, was a similar supporter of my card-collecting habit.

My mom passed away 10+ years ago. Her contribution was throwing out my huge boxes of 60s and early 70s cards when I went to school. Later in life she was stunned to learn that cards had acquired so much value.

Another toughie off my list. Corners only graded 3 which I think is pretty harsh. But I got it for the centering. Other grades are: centering 8.5; edges 7.5; surface 7.

Some additional LCS pickups today. The Clemente is lower-grade, but well centered and the color really pops, so I went with it. I am not 100% sure, but think these are some of if not the first ‘63 Fleer’s I’ve ever owned.

About 15-17 years ago, I had one of these that probably would’ve been at least a 6, but was not smart enough to hang onto it. I have literally been kicking myself ever since. Righted the ship today with this example… Not in nearly the same technical condition, but it met my criteria at least for bright color, a crispy image, and the creases don’t really affect the eye-appeal that much. Welcome home, Splinter!

Straight 9's of this variation go for huge amounts of money, so I happily grabbed this slightly off-centered one for just a fraction of the price...

That's not even that bad OC at all. Seriously, why the OC designation on that one? Nice pick up man!

Because it's otherwise an 8, and PSA cuts those off at no worse 70/30. So apparently they did not judge the T/B centering on that card to be at least that good - looks like maybe 25/75 to me. I will agree it doesn't look bad at all, but the centering standards above about a PSA 6 just get tougher and tougher...which I suppose is the point.

I've already posted this card in another thread on the main board, but since it's a postwar May pickup, I'll post it again here. I'm just excited to finally add one to my collection, so I'll take every chance I get to show it off

Ok, these aren't May pick ups, but I did just get them back from SGC. I knew they wouldn't grade better than vgex, but I was surprised by a couple of the grades nonetheless. They still have nice eye appeal IMO, though the centering isn't the greatest on a couple of them. The Mays has a little extra blob of factory ink on his cheek.
At one time, I wouldn't have given cards with these technical grades a second look. When I sent them in, I intended to sell them. However, when I got them back, I just couldn't sell them...and one is a duplicate for me! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

Thanks, John! I didn't expect to like the new SGC holders, but those cards look pretty good in there. None of them have any major issues, despite the technical grades. I have always felt SGC was consistent, but they seem to have tightened things up even more.

I got a very good price on a clean 1948 Swell Jackie Robinson. Price was borderline too good to be true. Any opinions on it? Paper feels right to me front and back.

eBay mailday. I already had one of these, but this one is nice and near minty. Has rough cuts on both edges, but they don’t bother me...

Rough cuts like htat don't bother me either.. almost makes the card have a rawer, fresher feel.

I bought this one 2 months ago. Here it is in a new SGC slab.
It got the A because someone used a Sharpie on the border beside the spot with the missing paper. |

That's too bad, Ben, but it's still a very nice card that looks great in that SGC slab.

I bought it knowing it would only grade Authentic. I just wanted it protected in a SGC slab being my most valuable card by far.

Added my fourth different Jackie. Already had 1948 Sport Thrills, 1954 Topps, and 1956 Topps.

Nice card, Jason. I got rid of a '55 Jackie earlier this year - it was a BVG 4.5 - centered nicely, but corners were rougher for that grade than I think either PSA or SGC would have allowed. I don't regret selling it, but will definitely be looking to pickup another one in better shape at some point. One of the iconic cards of the 50's for sure. Jackie and that blue cap against the yellow background really pops!
