May pickups

Super excited to add this one...thanks Stephen! Crease free with some print defects/WST on front and back that are original to the card. Looks EXMT otherwise

Man that is a great looking Robinson. I would be super pumped to add that one. Congrats.

[Neal]

Nice Jackie!!!

[REGGIE206]

That Jackie Robinson is awesome!

[whitesoxfan3579]

Wow!! Very nice!!

Thanks gentleman! That means a lot, especially when your wife is like "seriously, another Jackie?". At least my five year old is pumped!

Picked this up at my LCS: 1960 Topps Willie Mays

[mintacular]

Cool Mays. Haven't bought myself something for a while, from my fav set:

[Bigdaddy]

Not the most exciting of cards, but I just received this '67 Niekro RC in a small lot off of the 'Bay. The final card I needed to complete the 1967 set with all its high numbers. Still could use a few upgrades, but for now it gets the 'check'.

That's a nice Koufax. 5 seems a little harsh

[stlcardsfan]

Congrats Big Daddy Tom! Finishing the '67 set is quite an accomplishment. One of my favorites sets.

[Puckettfan]

Very happy to be adding this card. Heinrich has eluded me for some time. This is a great example. Special thanks to member Robw1959.

I was thinking the same thing. The eye-appeal is great on that card!

[jason.1969]

That Lou Gehrig is such a beautiful card. The big full-body player photos superimposed on mini stadium scenes give the players a larger-than-life appearance that pretty much all of us would suscribe to.

To have THE key card from such an awesome set is a huge feat. And of course.so much of the set is a Hall of Fame roll call.

The Delong Gehrig might be my favorite baseball card of all time.

[SAllen2556]

This has got to be the ugliest card I have ever actually paid money for. Besides that, I can't read Spanish!

Rudy York is one of those really good players who has very few cards to his name. 1946 Los Reyes Del Deporte:

Feels like 100 years since my last pickup! Happy to add this 1968 Atlantic Oil card.

I was thinking I likely won't be posting any new P/U's this month, but when I seen this card, which had been alluding me, and seeing it was from a great seller, I had to at least try.
My main competition was a guy who had 11 retractions in the last 6 months so I wasn't sure how this was going to play out, but luckily for, my snipe bid held out and I was able to win it.

[mintacular]

Nice '58 Mantle. Picked this up at the RMU Card Show, Frank was actually signing at this show.

[KCRfan1]

That's a beauty Patrick!

Got this back today from PSA:

[DeanH3]

BST pickup. Thanks again Robert!

[KCRfan1]

Nice card Dean! The '57 Williams is one of my favorites.

[MikeGarcia]

...The centering sub-grade for Raschi is a "9" and Teddy's is an "8" despite the truly wicked diamond-cut of the left border ; I've never seen such a diamond cut on one border without the corresponding DC balancing it out on the opposite border ?? The '54 set centering is all over the map though ; there could be an entire thread on 1954 Topps centering....---- and that '57 Teddy two floors up is possibly the best-centered I've ever seen ; way to go , fellow centering weenie......

..

[jason.1969]

1957 Topps Ted Williams was my favorite card FOREVER! But mine isn't nearly as nice as that one. Wow!!

I added these two for my set. I'm happy. Centering on the Kaline for a 7 is tough to find and the lack of snow on the Larsen gives me a card-on.

[DeanH3]

Thanks Jason and Lou!

Nice pick up Irv, I am in the same boat as you this month.....I was not expecting to pick up anything this month, however, I was not expecting to find this card as a 6 .... will have to deal with the tilt, but is it is better than a MC card.

Down to just one to go to finish the 1-311 run....#3 Thompson

Good for you!

I have been laying off purchasing lately due to the CDN dollar weakness. It just got to the point where I had to draw the line somewhere.

Hopefully, and I'm not holding my breath, it rebounds some soon!

No one commented on "card-on"? That is gold! Almost fell out of my chair laughing. So funny spaidly!

Got these 3 1955 Bowmans in the mail today thanks to a fellow member.

I am now the Aaron, Banks, 7 *&%ing Umpires, and 3 commons from a complete low end raw set.

I like it too, including the mystery about whether it was ever distributed in packs.
