Nice card, Ray!

I was lucky enough to get one from a local card shop (in my net 54 sig) along with some other cards. I was lucky the dealer only deals in hockey or I might have paid a lot more for the lot.

Got these the other night from another E-Bay auction. They are raw and somewhat rough, but they were affordable and I needed/wanted them.

holy sheeyit! IF that's your personal definition of "rough" (asuming they're not trimmed, etc, which I believe they're not), then the examples in MY set really suck!

nice pickups.

LOL. Somewhat rough.

Most corners are dinged, and with my exceptional scanning skills, I have managed to cut a few of them out so the pics actually make them look better than they are.

Thanks.

an underrated classic!

Time to start the set now that you got the big one in house!

[RayBShotz]

Neal - I don't know how you could possibly live with that indentation! I've got a really nice mid grade Don Mossi to trade you for that crappy Mantle.
How bout it?

Seriously; That cards a beauty.
Well done.

Haven't posted in a while but just picked up a few new additions to the Mantle PC:



Grabbed this one from MattyC. Just an unbelievable image on this and some real powerful centering. This is the one early Mantle card that was still attainable in a higher grade for me and was just floored by how sharp this one was in person.



Another MattyC pick up. Every time I visit I end up spending more at his house than I do at the National. Just another card with insane image quality and centering. This card has always been a personal favorite of mine.



A small, erased pencil mark about 1/8" long on the back of the card is the reason for the qualifier. I am not one for qualifiers but was struck by the rather decent centering and clean image. Also was super cheap!

I also snagged a sweet 54 Bowman Mantle in PSA 6 from Matt but haven't scanned it just yet.

[Enfuego]

Some beautiful stuff shown fellas!

Over 60 1962 Topps Venezuelan cards including #199 & #200 and a few HOFers. Pretty rough condition but putting together and upgrading both raw and graded sets.

Have you sold the card on the left or do you still have it?

Very nice cards!

Congrats!

Wow! Love all the stuff I am seeing: Williams, Mantle, Clemente, Koufax, etc.! Then here I come with my pitiful little '65 Topps commons as I plug away at that set.

Nothing wrong with those cards!

Collecting is collecting, even if big names aren't part of it.

Dale, i traded the card plus cash for the upgrade.

It's highly unlikely I'll ever complete my set despite already owning a Mantle as I still lack too many high dollar cards such as Campanella and Mathews.

I enjoy picking up what I can when I can and adding to what I already have, but I know someday, due to those high value cards, my collecting of 52 Topps will likely come to an end, unfortunately.

Thanks for letting me know, Orlando.

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Appreciate the kind words, Irv. I always enjoy seeing your '52 Topps!

Great stuff, fellas!

Memorable photo, great lot of cards, and a sweeeet Duke!

[jthorst75]

Picked this one up from a fellow board member. I had a PSA 4 awhile back but gave it up in a trade for a Magie. It's been tough trying to replace it but prices have been silly. Funny thing is that what I paid for this "1" was about the price I paid for my "4" six years ago.

Was such a great event with Hank Aaron. Sat about 10 feet from him the whole time. Huge props to the Brewers Community Foundation and Hank's Chasing the Dream Foundation.

Great post Jason. I love seeing picts. of events like that.

[jason.1969]

My first pickup in a long time. Have been wanting this card for a couple years...ended up getting the full team set along with it.

[DBesse27]

I am very happy to get this card. Probably traded too much for it but I wanted this for the long term collection. Decent centering.

[Iwantmorecards77]

Great Mick. ...and now for the let down pick-up post (lol):

[Neal]

lol - not a letdown at all! four solid cards!

the Mick is stupendous!

[jchcollins]

Nothing to break the price guide, but here are two solid Clementes that arrived today. The regular issue card - if it is not NM, it is close. Always been one of my favorite cards, and for whatever reason I have never had another one since trading away the first one I had as a kid when I was probably 12. Love the reflective looking shot of Roberto just looking at the ball. Kind of poignant - he had no way of knowing what was in store for him only months after this card was issued. Long live the great one!
