August Pickups!

Matt, Todd, Greg nice cards.

I especially love the 57 Williams card. Funny story, I won that same card in a poker game almost 20 years ago. The guy (didn't know him well) lost a lot of money and asked me if I wanted his Ted Williams card for $1000. I told him I'd give him $200 for it. He was pissed and threatened to rip the card up before he'd sell it for $200. Long story short he ended up selling it to me for $200. About five years ago I had it graded (PSA 5 I think) and sold it for $140 a short time after that.

Greg, always fun buying cards in person at a show, especially the National. Great Mantle cards!

Shaun, that's a good card to start with. Centering seems just about perfect. Nice PSA 3.

That is a killer Mick. White borders, great centering, clean red area, lovely piece.

I believe it was once yours, no?

[MattyC]

Yes, it was. Bought it earlier this year. Was a tough one to put in the sale pile during my Great Collection Reorganization/Reprioritization, LOL.
