Picked up these 6 53's and they put me over 50% to the raw set.

Thanks, John. It was a splurge bday present for myself. I dig the 53s and 55s, especially.

My scanner sucks at SGC slabs. In hand, the sig is bold and beautiful.

You can barely see the pinhole. Works fine for my Paige registry. (48L,49 & 53)

A surprising amount of pickups the last few weeks, when I had just been figuring to sit it out until the National. I guess you just never know what's going to pop up.
The '55B's round out a PSA 6/7 run of Stars, which was nice to finish on behalf of this much-maligned set 52032.jpg69001.jpg55074.jpg55076.jpg55083.jpg

1951 Connie Mack's AS's Christie Mathewson
Was excited to pick up this 1951 CM AS's Mathewson at a very reasonable price. Even though it's punched, I don't think I've seen a nicer example.

I didn't see a modern pick up thread but I suppose this is post war.

Totally agree on the Atlantic Oil's - got these 2 in the last week of June but thought I'd post here in July (had never seen them for auction this high, but have not always been looking)

I'm dying over here with all those beautiful Atlantics! I have both Yaz variations, but mine are beaters.

I felt so lucky to find these 2 -- they were a Steve Novella auction (I've found incredible stuff from his auctions, BTW, over the years). Next up is a Clemente - if I can find it!

New again at card collecting
Just getting back into it after bailing in the late 80's as many did. Focusing to pretty much 1955-1975 and the sets I like best. focusing mostly on ungraded cards trying to find a bargain or two. May get some graded. Also Attached are a few of my first pickups. They aren't as great as many I've seen on here, but it's my "starter lot". Comments on grade-ability of any of the cards would be appreciated.

Great examples, Mike!
I missed a PSA 8 Rose earlier this year; while I was contemplating it someone else BINed it. I have 4 Atlantics that are in really nice shape and slabbed and several raw that should grade 5 or better that I will probably send in after the National. I also have two of the SPs...which took me 20+ years of concerted hunting to find.

Thank a ton, Adam. I would love to learn more about the SPs - those are the ones that were the key to winning the redemption cash prizes, is that right? Given that, they must be really, really short, right -- who are they? thanks again, mike UPDATE: actually, I found your Net54 thread, Adam, from a few years ago. Osteen is one of the short prints? And in total there are 10+Checklist other short prints? Is that right? Does anyone know if anyone has ever put a complete set together? The SP's are about impossible. I've got most of the regular cards, but none of the SP's. I've never heard of a complete set. I've asked every 'advanced' collector I can think of and the usual response I get is to just forget about it because you will never find the SPs. There are 10 SPs plus a non-player redemption piece that could be used to get a booklet of stats and records. That one can be found, though it isn't too easy. The SPs are one of those 'unicorn' issues that I am always searching for. About 20 years ago there was a decent find of unopened packets. I suspect that the few SPs that have surfaced came from that find or similar rediscovered caches of cards since there is no way that someone would have left a cash prize unredeemed had they known of it. What I am really curious about is whether anyone ever cashed in the grand prize tickets (Agee and Freehan, worth $2,500 each in 1968) or whether those are still floating around. I haven't seen a set of odds but I have a hard time believing that there was more than one of each. Wouldn't those be something to come across in a junk box at the National? Obviously, someone had to have seen them since they are checklisted. For now I just content myself with trying to assemble a nicer condition base set.

Had a great couple weeks for the cardboard collection.
Picked up a nice Boog & Brooks for my sets. Also nabbed a great-looking Eddie Murray RC The Marichal has a dinged corner that I'm guessing a grader missed, but the rest of the card looks dynamite. (I also added a new keystone to my collection, a T206 Mathewson! See the Pre-War Forum for that beauty.) |

Not the greatest centered card, obviously, but super clean/clear and crisp.

Nice '50's, Jon - but, c'mon, the old Grey Lady held about 70K - you're not suggesting that the photographer herded those people into the shots?
