As for my own pickup this weekend...not as popular or cool as some of these, but I feed around the edges.
The Japanese Babe Ruth. The JBR.

Oh!- Probably Was Cut/Clipped.

Sorry, bad joke, nice card. FYI- Probably 20% of my collection is PWCC but I can't post them or swarmee will call them out.

Ha! Yeah, I get it. And I can understand some collectors' issues with PWCC. To me, it's just another player in the game. If I trafficked regularly in $20K or $50K or $100K+ cards, I might be far more worried. And, to be honest, it seems PSA would present a similar conundrum.

As it is, I play at the margins and know a few collectors and dealers I trust who list their items with PWCC and have found a few things in their marketplace that I thought well priced. This card for instance. Also, a Type 1 early Kareem photo. I guess I'm willing to take my chances....

Default Brooks
I've been making a lot of progress on my Brooks Robinson set. First up is a card that isn't really part of a 'Basic' set. A fellow net54 member had this available, and I couldn't pass it up. This card doesn't come up for sale very often...in any condition. It's centered better than most, and it doesn't have the usual missing paper on the reverse. A few stray pen marks don't bother me too much.




Next, is an upgrade. I had a PSA 8 of this card. The image quality on this PSA 9 is crazy. Scan doesn't really do it justice.




Anyone who has ever worked on the 67 Topps set knows what an absolute bear the high series can be. They aren't on the level of the 1952's (obviously), but the same problem exists. Demand ALWAYS exceeds supply. Brooks Robinson has 24 regular issue cards (57 - 78 Topps; 60 Leaf; 63 Fleer). His RC is the most expensive, and THIS card is next on that list. I was thrilled to win this one a couple weeks ago.




You ever see a card auction during a search and know, right away, that you're going to bid more than anyone else and win that card? There's some wax on the back that has dropped the technical grade, but this might be the best example of 'Buy the card...NOT the holder' in my collection. One of the nicest PSA 2's I've seen.

Cool Brooks Robinsons! I remember he was very popular when I was a kid, seems to be a little overlooked these days.

Yep. A lesson I learned quickly when I decided I "needed" to collect the entire '67 set. I've had two different versions of this card in the past 5 years, my current one is a PSA 5. Yours is nicer.

Very nice, David.

In my experience, trying to find a nice centered Erskine like yours was rather tough. Yours looks very nice, as do your other cards.

Thanks Dale. I hope some day to get the raw cards into graded holders and I'll see how I did.
