Be honest...

I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but will be picking up a Kaat soon, in keeping with a Topps era HoF pitcher run I started.

It won’t be a RC, so hopefully I can avoid the biggest markups associated with his ‘60 Topps.

I bought these two recently.

Here's the split for Jim Kaat, also using the very basic "Kaat PSA":

Dec. 5 (so far): 52 (The day Kaat was elected to the HOF.)
Dec. 4: 2
Dec. 3: 4
Dec. 2: 2
Dec. 1: 1

I can't speak for Hodges but Minoso definitely had risen over the last while.

Nice cards, Al.
I seen quite a few of his early cards, saved them to my watch list, etc, but, regretfully, never pulled the trigger on any.

seems unnec. to me... there are plenty of them out there...and a lot of " who really wants them "

That 53 Bowman of Minoso is a beautiful card. The whole set is gorgeous, and Minoso's is just one example.

Have not bought any of their cards recently but as a set collector if they have a Topps, Bowman or Fleer card I think I have it

I bought several Minoso cards over the last year leading up to this. I like these two the best:




Yesterday before the announcement I bought several more. I had planned to chase after them anyway-I've been going through the Standard Catalog looking for tough obscure cards of players I collect then searching for them on eBay-but decided to BIN them before the sellers tripled the prices. Glad I did.

Puzzling photo of Minnie on the '55 Bowman card: Looks like he is in a bunting pose, but if that's a dugout behind him, how does it have a TV set playing? Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

According to ebay asking prices, minoso now 2nd most valuable card in the low series under May's. Good luck with that

Yeah, I don't remember my baseball coaches ever saying "So, when you want to get a bunt down, you wait for the pitch with the bat approximately parallel to the ground at shoulder level, with the knob stuck under your right armpit. Your thumb should be wrapped around the bat so that it will get smashed by an inside pitch."

Me neither, but the image is unusual and quite striking.

This one is still my favorite:
