June Pickups

Member pick-up, thank you Mark. One of my favorite cards from the set, not only do you get a great image of Aaron but you get an action shot of Willie Mays sliding into home. I've been looking to upgrade my raw Aaron for a while now, I must have looked/tracked a couple hundred of these over the last year. This one hit the right combination of centering and skin color (they lean too red on some), the green label is a plus also.

Great looking card Phil. Mine is so chewed up. With a card as clean as this you can really appreciate what the card is supposed to look like.

Thanks Vegas,
I literally gave away my white back no crease great color just a little Oc Aaron on bst last week, sounds like it should have gone to you.

Mine's a keeper. My dad bought it in 1956 when he was ten, and it suits me just fine. It's beat up because he played with it, which I love.

That's the most valuable 56 Aaron, great story.

Picked up a nice second year Banks.

Some great additions recently! Zigger that 61 Williams looks very nice and Skelly those 1950B* cards of Paige and Stan the Man are excellent. Casey, that 56 Aaron is very, very nice for the grade with sharp focus and bright colors (including the borders). Gashouse, can't go wrong with a 55 Banks. I've always loved that card.

I've been chasing this 1950B Doby for a while. Glad to have finally landed one!
