January Pickups

Some pretty centered and sharp looking 7s up there.

The latest-- a cleaner scan shall replace this one when Ted is in hand. What drew me to this specific example is the square top cut; so many examples of this card have a sloping cut, that prevents the card from sitting flush in the bottom of the holder.

Matt, you are a maniac. You have been on a serious tear lately. Great Ted.

Likely the last card I will be picking up for several months. Pleased to add it to the collection though.

I have always loved that Mantle piece. Awesome pickup! He looks like a total rock star in that photo.

Mailman just came! This Mays might be one of my best values, in terms of eye appeal for the dollar. Centering goes a long way with the design of 51 Bowmans...

Bench...

There are some great additions so far this month.

Thanks to a mutual buddy of mine and Miller's, I was able to obtain this freakishly centered Ryan RC.

Matty, That Ryan used to be my card. I sold it to our mutual friend. Glad it found a good home. Its nice, I still scratch my head why I sold it, but I wasnt anticipating cards sky rocketing like they have over the last year.

Beautfiul Teddy Ballgame, Mays, Clemente and 69 Ryan.

I love the 74 Killer as well. I just like looking at ball cards, I am happy for all you guys. Its hard to include everyone in the kudos if your not able to get on everyday.

I will not be incredibly active this year as I purchased a major percentage of the business that I co-owned with a couple other gentleman, so my extra cash this year will be a little more tight than it has in the past. I did add this card, thanks to a seller willing to be flexible on his price, and some EBAY bucks.

[GregC]

That is a gorgeous Rickey. I need to get myself one of those. I think I was much safer collecting 80s Star Basketball and Jordan. I think getting into postwar baseball is going to be far more costly.

Matt, That 69 Ryan is awesome. That is far and away my favorite Ryan card. the colors are just stunning.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is that Mantle posted a few back? What an awesome card. I have to catch up to big brother and get my topps/bowman run going but some of the lesser known Mantles are really beautiful.

Great stuff everyone!

It took a bit to find one with nice centering and bright colors, but I got lucky with this Rose.
