Fresh from PA, probably a 1970's internal "team" item from Topps:

The 1976 is very under appreciated/rated. It's rare to find a 1st ballot HoFers 2nd year card so cheap.

Nice Yount, Bill! I don't see any flaws in that "9". It could be a 10 if the grader got lucky the night before!

So true Zach, I'd love to see a 10 next to that, there would be no visible difference. Nice pickup Bill.

Dave,

Where did you find that? That's a cool piece. I'm guessing that was awarded to the employee who came up with the idea of the '75 Topps mini set.

Good start to the month, guys. Let's keep it hopping!

Hey guys, nice stuff this month! This is my first time posting to the post-war pick-ups. I've been concentrating on pre-war the past couple of years but have gotten bit by the post-war/vintage bug recently. I won these two Pirate issues that I didn't have last night in the Sterling auction. I also picked up a couple of "freaks". I'm normally not into them and am not sure if there's a market for them like there is with the T206's, but I just thought the matching pair was pretty neat and I couldn't resist for some reason:

Great stuff Guys:

Jason - Great looking Clemente Stand-up. That is a set on high on my next to complete list.

Patrick - awesome Brett, please share your grading results with us.

Bill - the '75 sets are a ton of fun to build, not hard to find any card and with the minis in particular, due to the dealer (his name escapes me now) who hoarded the cases in his basement for years, it's not too difficult to put a high quality set together. Centering was the biggest challenge with my high grade set (Claudell Washington) but still there are plenty. I've always loved the Dick Allen card from the set.

I wish I had a nice card to share, but it's been a slow month on the post war side for me.

Default Down to two!

At the national I finally got a Koufax rookie. I am down to just the Mays and Snider for set completion.

I also had SGC authenticate my 1961 Topps Koufax auto. It was a gift in high school, 1994, from my parents. It looks great holdered!

Default Great item for me!

I have to bore most of you with background information so you can appreciate how excited I was about this. The Pittsburgh Post gazette has been holding annual dinners in Pittsburgh for I believe about 60+ years. Each year they honor a local sports personality (usually A baseball, hockey or football player). They issue a program which is distributed to the attendees and usually features an image of the honored player. As it is a regional dinner, the suspected quantities that have been printed in the past is very small. The number that survive even smaller.

I collect Roberto Clemente. Clemente was featured on 3 of the programs - 1962, 1967, 1972. The 1967 program has been the "easiest" of the 3 to find, followed by the '72. The 1962 program I have only ever seen twice in 25+ years of collecting. I bought a run of the programs a few years ago and included with a number of them were ticket stubs to the dinner! Really cool accompanying items. The '62 Clemente in the collection was one that had a stub - I was blown away as I had never before or since seen stubs from the dinner.

I happened to be browsing ebay the other night and found an item that was freshly listed with a bin of 14.99. I was extremely excited to be able to grab it. See photo below. Thanks for your patience with the background.

^^^^^ great find, Howard! Way cooler than a card or autograph, IMHO.
