Should have posted in the new pickups topic I apologize I was going to fast.

Adrian, my friend, have you been skipping your medication lately? (Just Kidding), Nice pick-ups, Aloha, Dave.

No take them at noon every day

I will trade you a blue pill against your purple pill or maybe your pink one...lollll hahaha!!!

Only one more to pick up the T206 Bill O'Hara error card (looking for one graded a 2 or a 3 with nice visual appeal for the grade) in a few months then I will slow down for a while to save back up for future purchases.

Would like to pick up a shoeless Joe Jackson E90-1 Caramel card graded authentic or a one graded a 1 or a one graded a 2 in the future I will have to save up for a long while after the O'Hara T206 error card is purchased.

Those are very nice pickups, especially the Mantle. I can see why you said in the REA thread that you will be giving the whales a run for their money. However, just be cautious when buying BIN's on ebay. You will typically be overpaying rather than when you buy via regular auctions. Nice collection of cards, regardless.

Thanks tried finding the nicest Mantle I could before pulling the trigger...I can for sure play with the big boys if I have to.

Did you look at those on Heirtage for auction.?.They have several on there.
I place on few bids on the low-end ones, but expected it get blown away.
SGC30/2 is at 2500
SGC40/3 is at 3500
PSA 4 is at 7000
SGC60/5 is at 7500

Yes looked at a lot (over many years been collecting post war cards since I was 9 years old) of places before pulling the trigger on the Mantle card...it is truly as nice as they come in that specific grade (4). I have NO regrets at all on this card.

Absolutely amazing cards... Not only one but all four are gorgeous. If you are a big fish then I will consider myself a microorganism for now.

Not a big fish but I would say a mid sized one!!!

Being in college and having an internshp has stunt my monetary growth... I will grow eventually, but only after the shackles of college life break off. Anyways, I very much enjoy the members of Net 54 showing off their new buys and rare treasures.

If we put all of the members' cards/memorabilia together it would probably be more valuable than the what's in the Hall of Fame...

I need the O'Hara to complete my set of 520. Nice to know there is a big fish hunting in the same water. I'm a minnow since I retired. Well, I've waited 35 years. Hopefully have a few more.

College does pay off if you put in the work you will see.

I am in no rush I want to find that perfect one graded PSA 2 so you have the rest of them and maybe even that one if you see it before I do that is...lollll.

Big fish? I can't even afford the ink to print out the picture of the Mantle.

Adrian, it is a two billion dollar hobby. You own $20k worth of cards. That is 1/100,000th of the market cap of baseball cards... you own 0.001% of the total value of baseball cards out there.

So maybe not a minnow, but a small fish, buddy. But I'm a small fish, too. Nothing to be ashamed of. We've got a lot of small fishes on this board.

Put that way yes I am a small fish and that is fine by me.

Well after reading this enlightful info I now consider myself a small fish that is almost there to becoming a small-medium fish. Awesome

Adrian, you are a big fish, don't kid yourself lol

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I just want to be a fish, preferably Trout. Mike Trout?
