May 2010 Pickups

[wake.up.the.echoes]

A couple of Benches named "John."

(I got the Kenwood in April, but I couldn't resist posting them together...)

[Robextend]

I can cross this off the list of HOF RCs I need...

[Robextend]

2 in a row for me...

[toppcat]

Off the 'bay last week:



Looks transitional between 68 game cards and issued deckle photos; front has full gloss just like the regular deckles, back is blank. Wonder if Topps almost went for another rounded corner insert in 69?

[ALR-bishop]

Dave--anything on back ? It looks a little like the prototype cards on the 68 Deckle proof sheets, although Harrelson is not one of the 9 players on that sheet. There are 3 versions of that sheet, with black, red or blue fascimile autographs. Is the auto blue on yours ? Neat item

[toppcat]

Hi Al!

It's just a pure white back. I would say the stock is just a hair thicker then the regular deckles and the gloss is less, well, glossy by just a little. There was another one auctioned at the same time, I think a HOF'er but can't find my scan of it. I have never seen these before.

1964 Topps Giants set upgrade:

Nice hit..also, probably right about the 69's. Wonder what changed their minds? ha

Darn it David, you beat me to the punch on that Mel Ott Batter Up! I saw it for sale in the B/S/T and I was a little too late. Nice pick-up!

[mickey7mantle7]

Ha...Jeff, I can't believe I actually won it. It's been a while since I won an auction on here. Finally, the time waiting and losing has come to an end..lol

Thanks Jeff! Always willing to trade for Mantle stuff.

Great RC cards Rob!

I usually only post in the prewar section of the board but I couldn't resist sharing this pickup I just won on ebay. I am a big hoyt wilhelm fan even though I am just a young college student and I have been looking for one of these for years. Dare I say this card is harder to find than his 1952 topps rookie card?

[MBMiller25]

Picked this up for my Musial Collection!

[MBMiller25]

Picked this up from Frank Ward.....Not an easy card to find!

[tyweb1]

From the REA Auction

[jb217676]

My first Campy! This card looks fantastic for a PSA 5.

[Robextend]

Nice Campy Jeff!!!

A rare shiny card....

[Robextend]

Catfish!

[MBMiller25]

For my Musial Master Set:



2 Qty. 51 Berk Ross. The bottom card says 52 Berk Ross, but its a mistake on PSA's part.






For my Clemente Basic Set:

[Robextend]

Matt,

That Jay Musial is a beautiful card...congrats!!

Rob

[David W]

More all time Cardinals

[David W]

A couple more

[JasonL]

but picked up a few for a couple player collections...LOVE the 65 Santo for the colors-just has the look of a classic baseball card...and yet another 1968 card disappoints. I think I really hate that issue. The border is just so blah that I rarely find that it does anything for the image.

[mintacular]

Love the crispy clementes. Here's my first Yaz RC that I picked up at RMU:

[DeanH3]

My first postwar pick up in many years. Eye appeal is incredible so I could not pass it up.

[Robextend]

Couldn't pass these up for the price...

[Robextend]

Andy Van Slyke RC
