There are a couple National League pitchers from the 50s and 60s I've always felt were overlooked when it came to discussions of star pitchers. Bob Friend and Lew Burdette are on that short list. I bring them up together quite often, and people are surprised to learn that they combined for 400 wins. 197 for Friend, and 203 for Burdette. Two great pitchers from my favorite two teams of that era.

Howard, stories like yours are not boring. Quite the opposite, actually. As much as I love a great baseball card, postcard, or ticket stub, the stories about them add that personalized touch that make them even more special. As a fellow Pirates fan, and Clemente nut...er super fan, I think it's great that you were able to add this ticket to your collection. I've had that really excited feeling a few times while checking out on EBay. It's a great boost of adrenaline, isn't it?

Loving '75
After getting Mr. Gibson in the mail, I was reminded of just how colorful the '75 Topps set is. So, I've decided to start working on the set. I already have this nice '75 Topps Yount. Only the teeny tiny little surface scratch on the upper right hand corner kept this card from being a pretty high PSA grade. Otherwise, the edges and corners are pretty much immaculate. Without that, this is probably a PSA 8, and higher if it weren't for a slight top to bottom centering issue. Still, this is a nice card for the '75 Topps set. When I get my PSA graded card, that will just go in the safe deposit box.
 So now to a few new cards. I picked up my first group of '75 Topps, and they arrived today. I'd like to share them. They're exquisite. I'm going to try and build the set as close to near mint as possible. The Winfield and Yastrzemski were sold as EXMT+. I think the Yaz would grade a little higher, but think the grade for Mr. Winfield is spot on. There's a surface scratch on the upper right corner, and as far as I can tell, that's primarily the reason why this was graded the way it was. Once I've completed the set, I'll go back and look at the cards to see which ones need aesthetic upgrades, as the entire set will be displayed on my website. For now, it's a nice card, and gets me one step closer to 660. :D      I think I have a pretty good idea what at least two of my next few '75 Topps cards will be. :cool:

August Pickups
My small Dodgers sub back from SGC today. Two were cracked out of PSA 6 slabs, 2 were raw. The Sherry was an upgrade for my (8 of 12) set in progress. I'm having a hard time finding much wrong with the Podres...

 I couldn't wait to get it in my hands. I raced over, turned on my fluorescent lamp, whipped out the loupe, and spent a good five minutes straight looking at it. I couldn't believe how nice it was. 9..10..I'm just happy to own it. That one's never leaving my collection.

Cool Mays MVP!
Stache-- appreciate the good vibes and Maris props. Just snagged this Ted; after studying the card for a while, observed that the majority have serious image clarity/focus issues, and the usual bad centering. Was hoping a rare focused one without that strange background patina would surface, ideally an example with some honest corner wear, so as to keep the price down. Finally one hit the radar... Some others for comparison (which are much more expensive) are shown below, which is why this little 6.5 was so eye catching...

Matt - wow that '62 Maris is a NICE card, can't see where PSA sees the 4, but either way I'd take that for my '62 set in a heartbeat!
This '61 Face came to day, it's an upgrade to my current one.
