New FB Acquisitions

Very interesting Dan. Were these issued for every team, or was this a regional, Boston area newspaper collection? Slides are overlooked as collectibles IMO. Another great Hannah

Thanks. These were issued by the league for 21 years, with players from all teams. Each year's "set" includes hundreds of slides. I'm stoked on the Hannah and Tippett pre-RCs

Those are pretty neat Dan.

Here are my most recent 1977 Topps Mexican pick-ups. Up to 147 of 528.

The OJ makes me incredibly uncomfortable, however comparably graded SGC & BVG '77's go for nearly 50% the cost of a PSA in this set. Seems to be some registry envy. Strange, especially considering the other two cards, both PSA graded, were improperly labeled as "1977 Topps", though they are obviously "1977 Topps Mexican". Not sure why PSA is considered the de facto experts on such things when they make bone-headed mistakes such as these. There were actually four incorrectly labeled Mexicans in the recent pick-up, all sequentially graded. Thank you Jeremy for the recent additions

Oops, I criticized a TPG without my name in the post, Ty Phelan

I'm sure I've missed posting some things in my absence, but this is my latest pickup. Second copy, but I wasn't passing it up.

As I try to close out my '52 Bowman football sets, pick-ups are slowing way down LOL! But when an eBay Bucks 10X promotion kicked in, I did a little shopping

1952 Bowman Large #10 (SP) Chuck Bednarik Standard Catalog values $300 NM this card was $46.50 shipped or 15.5% book.

1952 Bowman Small #142 Tom Landry $325 NM value card cost me $36.50 shipped or 11.2% book.

"chipping away at it"
