July Pick-Ups

[Casey2296]

Finally found a centered 67 Aaron, I was beginning to think they didn't exist, also can never pass up a nice Clemente card.

That 67 Aaron is gorgeous.

Thanks, much like the 73 Clemente you just don't find that card centered. I don't even know how many I looked at before this one popped up, but if you wait long enough your card will appear when ready.

A couple recent wins.

Everyone has sets that just don't peak their interest and capture them the way that others do. Everyone's taste is different, and there's nothing wrong with that. For me, 1955 Bowman is one of them. Just never really did anything for me. After owning a few of them as part of player sets that I'm working on, i will say it's growing on me.



I'm getting down to the nitty gritty on my Brooks set. I've been focusing on centering as much as possible, but some cards are just so rare to see with decent centering. Like that 67 Aaron or a 73 Clemente, or a 57 Mantle. I haven't bid on many of these 59 Brooks cards because I just haven't come across many that are centered.

Thx to board member for this one.

Went to a small (only about 75 tables) local, new show today. This was only the 3rd or 4th show they've put on. And I got some more 58s to add to my set. In addition to what's pictured, I picked up about 200-250 commons, semistars and teams.

Love it, I need to get my butt in gear and start a low-mid grade set, those look perfect to me

I am very pleased with this one:



The back is off but the front just nails it.

[Casey2296]

Very nice Clemente, I have never seen a back that wasn't off, I think there was a front/back registration problem when the cards were produced.

Yep, mine is O/C left to right. Not tilted like Adam's though.

Nice card Ex-man.

They practically don't. That's a gorgeous card, congrats.

Mine is sharp enough to probably be a 7 or close too, but resides in a BVG 5 slab due to the centering being off noticeably left to right. Oh well, I'm over such perfection concerns on every single thing anymore. If I went after a truly centered '67 set - even just in midgrade, I'd probably get less than 15% of the way there before I died. I don't like egregious tilt or centering close enough to be confused with miscut, but moderate centering issues are something I've come to live with over the past 5 years or so.

Thats funny...I have an OC 67 Aaron that is easily a 6 or 7 outside of being OC...I found a PSA 3 that was perfectly centered...I bought it, popped it...and that card is now in my binder! Has a slight wrinkle barely noticable...one of the only times I chose a centered card over a OC tight card. I was just so happy and surprised to see one centered. The card here is AMAZING...

[Gorditadogg]

Here is my 67T Aaron. As you may be able to tell, I went for tight over centered too.
