Eights the Hard Way...
'The Chairman of the Board' has always held a special place in my heart, because we both spent our early years in Astoria, Queens, so I was happy to pick up this cool 1960 Topps #35 Whitey Ford card. Let's face it, the 1962 Topps #28 Minnie Minoso, is a god-awful headshot of the newest Hall of Famer. The look of puzzlement on his face coupled with the gallon of India ink Topps used to black out his cap makes it the exact opposite of 'good eye appeal.' But, heck, for a total of $27, I grabbed it. And now for a pair of guys, 1968 Topps #410 Fergie Jenkins and 1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays, who are able to make burlap look like a thing of beauty!!

Nines in the Pocket...
I was happy to secure the first card, a real sharp-cornered 1970 Topps #510 Tony Oliva, at a very low price just before the HOF vote was announced. The odd thing about this just-a-tad-OC 1972 Topps #163 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar card (with a looming Wilt as a marvelous co-star) is that the total POP of PSA 9's is only nineteen, with ten of them having qualifiers (probably all OC?). So you are more likely to find a PSA 9 OC than a straight 9. The awesome 1972 Topps #170 Dick Butkus card (with his face telling you he's ready to wreak havoc on the Midway) is such a great example of the simplistic beauty of that entire set, and I got it for a very small fraction of what straight 9's go for!!!

You really gotta be Carewing with me!!!
Let's see, 'Charlie Hustle,' 1969 Topps #120 Pete Rose, may have too big of a lead toward home (in other words, the image is pushed a bit to the bottom), but I am happy to have scored this card. As the title suggests, (outside of TPG parameters) you gotta be kidding me that this 1974 Topps #50 Rod Carew card is considered off-centered to any normal person. This pair of 1964 Topps Stand-Ups, Donn Clendenon (SP) and Elston Howard (reigning MVP), have easily ignored, semi-phantom gum stains on their blank backs.

Nice...and those 64 Stand Ups are AWESOME. I have never owned one, should have started plugging away on those years ago like planned. Not many deals these days on those! Yours look awesome, stains must be on the backside? Wax?

I forgot I had posted them in the pickups thread. Here's a shot of the backs...
1964standupclendenonelstonhoward.jpg The Clendenon has a tad bit of chalky, pinkish gum residue there (which could probably be brushed away), but the Howard 'stain' seems to be an illusion.

Beauty is in the Eye of the
We all live by one simple rule. Anytime you can pick-up a sharp Sandy Koufax card at a nice price, you jump!! Here's the career-capping 1967 Topps #238 Strikeouts Leaders. This 'Say Hey Kid' card, 1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays, is now my second OC '68 of the man. Pretty sweet!! And anyone involved with trying to assemble the monstrosity that is the 1961 set knows how tough these two rando Yankees high numbers are to land, 1961 Topps #531 Jim Coates and 1961 Topps #541 Roland Sheldon.
