February Pickups

[jb67]

Just landed my first Pete Rose rookie card. Pretty happy with this one. Not the best image because I do not have it yet to scan.

[bnorth]

Just got this awesome 62 Willie Mays with a green tint. I am guessing it is a Super SSP.

[MattyC]

Damn JB, where do you find these centered cards?! Another awesome pickup. I need to step my game up.

[Robextend]

Great pickups!!

Found it newly listed on Ebay and immediately made an offer after two declines I finally made the deal.

Ben,did that come with a pair of 3D glasses

[Hammerin'Hank]

A few 75 Topps upgrades and 1 Red Man card bought off eBay. Cards have not arrived yet but I'll post pics any way.

I've been looking hard for a well centered 75 Topps Mike Schmidt. This one has a small mark on the bottom left corner but it was priced right. I nearly gave 3X as much for 1 just like it but without the small mark.

The 1952 Red Man is miss-labeled as a 1954.

A couple of the tougher green tints to get…

This is not exactly a February pickup, but it did just come back graded nicely from PSA.

And it's even better than that for Mr. Clean. His 1984 WS vs Detroit gave him a second NLCS MVP and a fifth NL pennant.

A recent pickup from a fellow net54'er. Also, a personal favorite card of mine!

Nice pickup Jason! Always one of my favorites.

[JollyElm]

Not perfectly centered, but pretty darn good for this tough '72…

Thanks Steve. It's one of those cards that should be in everyone's collection. The picture is amazing and while the card may be overrated (not in my opinion); is there a better action shot out there???

[bobc88]

Nice '71 Garvey.

I can't argue with the best action shot ever. The fact that it happen to come in the 1st set that every included color photos is really cool.

[jason.1969]

A mix of stuff waiting in my office after several days on the road.



The comic books and Ernie Banks card were from a cartoonist I met at the Ernie Banks statue. Yours for a little more than a stamp at his Etsy site--

The Rice and Reggie cards are two of my favorites from the 1978 Topps issue. The Reggie captures his greatest moments as Mr. October, and the Rice card was from his MVP year, easily one of the five best offensive seasons of the 1970s.

And the Alston is the ninth of 24 cards I need for my 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers team set. As a math nerd, I love the cartoon on the back.

[Hammerin'Hank]

Another mid-grade Red Man.

[Robextend]

[Hammerin'Hank]

Nice Palmer RC. He is one of the lucky ones, of that era, who did not have to share his RC with other players.

[Hammerin'Hank]

Another 1975 Topps upgrade......off PWCC's auction last night.

[gnpaden]

picked up this 57 Mays and some clean, unmarked checklists

[jason.1969]

Some of you know I am working on a 1956 Dodgers team set to commemorate Brooklyn's first and only championship in 1955. My goal, seldom realized, was to find great eye appeal and centering within the VG-EX or EX grades (or more to the point, within those price ranges). What a dream come true this Jim Gilliam was for me. With my aging eyes, I seriously wouldn't be able to distinguish this card from a PSA 10.

[jason.1969]

And not technically a card, but this Aaron cover has been my white whale since practically the day I returned to collecting. I wouldn't have even guessed that one this nice looking still existed. I believe it is also Aaron's first solo cover on a national publication, but let me know if I'm forgetting something.



Picked up the 1969 Banks as well to replace the 1956 Banks JET I donated to the Ernie Banks memorial.

[Jcfowler6]

An upgrade to my Clemente run.

Upgrade for a 1964 Topps Set. Had trouble deciding between one perfectly centered but with faded color, or this one with vibrant color with pretty good centering. Decided on the popping color.

[Hammerin'Hank]

Rob, nice Eckersley RC. The picture looks super sharp and crisp.

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Got this in the mail today. I have always wanted one.

Thanks Russ!!

[freakhappy]

Jason, great looking Gilliam stunning for the grade!

Great looking Clemente, JC...congrats!

[obctom]

This is my first post in the "Look What I Got" thread. Hope I'm doing it right!
A cheap yellow-letter Kaline in OBC condition, plus a pair of slabbed '61's (don't worry, OBC brethren, they won't stay encased for long; I'm going to free them) to get my '61 list down to the final 13 cards.

Tom

[brewing]

Yep that Aaron in the SGC is cardboard porn. I'm wondering why it isn't a higher grade.

[dclarkraiders]

Just picked up this Pee Wee Reese 1951 Bowman.

[jason.1969]

Okay, so not exactly a card but the perfect dress shirt for a Hank Aaron fan to wear to work!



Meanwhile, added the 55 WS MVP for my 1956 Dodgers set but will likely return it due to small ink mark on right border.

[pawpawdiv9]

Just added my 1st TY COBB!!!!
i know its a pre-war card, but got to show my excitement to you guys.
Take a close look, its a double-print oddity, or as Sean says over-sized.

Congrats on the Cobb pickup. I'm still looking for my first Cobb.

[MattyC]

Very cool Cobb card-- I like the dual name aspect.

[begsu1013]

very nice cobb! was the same card above it or was it a "cobb w bat on shoulder" card above it? are there any pics of t206 sheets floating around?

all I got in the mail today. no cardboard porn, but a cool card imo:

red variant and pretty cool he batted .500

[jb67]

Great Larry Bird card and great story to go with it. Never realized he played baseball. Thanks for sharing.

[brewing]

Great copy of the Georgia Peach

[jason.1969]

I feel so lucky to have Hank Aaron as my favorite player. I can't even imagine how tough it must be to have Cobb or Ruth as a fave! Wow!

[jason.1969]

I may be meeting a guy in a couple days that would have plenty of 54 commons raw and roughly VG-EX. He wants to sell. Will let you know what I find out.

[moeson]

I just purchased this Frank Robinson to finish off an uncracked 1971 Kelloggs set.
