Outstanding looking Aaron rookie! I can't imagine any better looking PSA 3. Congrats!

bill,

spot on. really was a tragedy and worthy of much more recognition. much more! most just love him for his name, i love his entire story. i mean the guy got completely ran over by a truck at age 3 and just kept on going!! a truck, at 3! ...and 245 strikeouts in your rookie year? hot damn! well worth the time to read a lil on him.

as for the mcdougald line drive, such a class act that he didn't even finish running to first and ran straight to the mound instead. he was reportedly so overcome w/ guilt that he considering retiring if score woulda lost his eyesight. either just wouldn't happen in today's game.

jb,

as for the cowboy, ALR and Todd nailed it. it is indeed andy devine...good call!!! but i am young, sorta. and i know who he is! ; )

cb,

nice aaron rook. centering is great!

I love Andy Devine's voice; what a hoot! Remembering him right now as the first mate on the H.M.S. Henrietta in the classic, "Around the World in 80 Days". ---Brian Powell

I am all types of fired up over this little card right here. $110 on eBay. Rare centering, nice solid red area free of major PD, and most importantly for me: it doesn't have "caved in Mick face" on the batting Mick. Many 1960 Micks have a trick of inking that kind of makes the red cave in the side of his face.

This "3" is an upgrade of my "6," which will now be sold when I need to reach for the next big card. Nothing makes my day like upgrading to a cheaper card!

Nice cards, great start for June

Shaun, what a great Aaron RC! Congratulations

MattyC, beautiful Clemente RC and also real nice Mantle. Nice job!

[begsu1013]

brian or is it indy?,

his voice WAS "devine", most naturally have heard pencil thin mustache by jimmy buffett but there is also a frank zappa song accredited to him/his voice... i think the song is called ann d. devine....

[JollyElm]

Whenever I hear the name Andy Devine, I can't help but begin humming Jimmy Buffett's "Pencil Thin Mustache." That song was the first time I heard his name and the two are now intrinsically linked.

Sweet Aaron! Nice score and definitely looks better than the grade!

[KingFisk]

There is a lot of joy to be found in the mid-range...high grade cards, low prices, names you know and love..I don't think I ever consciously aware of this Weaver card. Love the image.

Good ones of my favorite two players:

Knowing that these are hard to find centered. And how most of the guys here, i envy for their NOLAN RYAN RC cards. Yes, that includes you Begsus and MattyC.
With some advice from MattyC, i finally decided to land mine. And hope it arrives safely.
I had a few messages with this seller and had a best offer which expired last week and found out today he lowered it within my price range. The National Treasure card is a bonus.
I had to look at Begsu's collection, and noticed the differences, need to see the backs bro.
Was trying to find the old thread on the backs/reverse, couldnt find it.

Been chasing a nice copy of this one for a long time:

[Rascal1010]

Took about a month, but put this set of Billy Williams cards together as a gift for my son! Still short a couple of cards for the full set, and have already upgraded the 1965 & 1970 and picked up the 1972 IA card today, but not by my scanner to get them scanned in.
I would like to than all of the Net54 members that assisted me in putting together this set of cards! Still looking for the missing cards and also would like to upgrade a couple others before giving to him if anyone can help with any, just let me know!

Thanks again,
Steve
