Wow. Very nice.

Added some new '57's today.

I'm currently pretty obsessed with this set. Already have a Clemente and a Frank Robinson. Now I've got these four.

Only others I know I for sure want are a Klusinski because of the awesome photo and a Mantle because it's Mantle.

Love the 57s brother. The Mantle that year is completely epic. I like it much more than the much ballyhooed 56. I built the 57 set in the past year and I continue to make modest upgrades to it. It's a really fun challenge. Don't buy raw unless you can look it at the right angle under the light and study the surface real good.

This really speaks to the limitations of a linear grading scale. Check out this '57 Don Mossi I got a few weeks ago. The card looks like it could be n 8 or even a 9. Only a tiny wrinkle in the lower left relegates it to a 5. Anyway, agree the Aaron is beautiful.

If the card has a crease, then it deserves the grade. I wouldn't buy a card with a crease at a 4.5 or 5 price no matter how good it looks. It could also just be a harsh grade. I had a Joe Morgan RC that PSA gave a 5. It was a harsh grade and the only card that I have cracked and resubmitted. The second time it came back a 7. I feel that every time I send an order in, there is at least one card that is under graded, but the Morgan was just an extreme example.

Loving everyone’s stuff. These were my pickups this week.

Great cards, love the colors. Great green background on the Aaron and I've always loved the red on the 1958 All Stars.

Yeah. In general I don't like to buy vintage raw. But I was able to get 'em all from the same seller at a decent price. And to be honest, I like my vintage a little beat up. I think it's more authentic to how people treated their cards back then. I'll eventually get 'em graded.

Can't believe you have a whole set. I bet it's pretty amazing to look at all together.

Not a biggie but I like it

Yeah no argument here, “rats.” I have actively tried to avoid cards with wrinkles but in this day and age of no local shows (MA remains closed) I have tried my best to avoid getting mid grade slabbed cards with wrinkles. The Mossi is no big deal to me. It looks great and I paid $10 but it does suck when you spend serious money for a 4 or 5 and it ends up having a wrinkle. I have a Kubek RC from this set that is PSA 5 and has a tiny wrinkle and it rankles me, pun intended.

I have seen higher grade cards with wrinkles. I own a 69 Ted Williams PSA 8 that has something resembling a wrinkle. So even high grades are not immune from this either. The Williams is in an old slab so I wonder if this could have happened after slabbing due to humidity. Probably just missed by the grader though.

VanLingoMungo46 · 10-24-2020, 04:56 PM

Here's the 69 Ted PSA 8. I didn't get as good a photo as I hoped, but you can see there's a disturbance circled in yellow. Sometimes it's hard to draw the line on what is acceptable veining related to card texture and what is a wrinkle. There's also bubbles and how to deal with those as a grader. Ironically I have a '57 Ted PSA 6 that has razor sharp edges but I believe it's a bubble that made the grader ultimately decide on 6.

Gustomania · 10-25-2020, 02:58 PM

Just love the 1960 card and added another to the PC. My two favorite Koufax cards are his 1956 and 1960, and just love those sets in general!

DStars45 · 10-26-2020, 05:40 PM

A couple ‘75 Topps came in the mail today. Working on the Hank registry and figured I’d throw in a cheap PSA 5 of the Brett rookie just to have it.

Man is it hard to find decent quality in vintage baseball these days without paying top dollar. I'm seeing prices continue to go up. Wasn't shopping for this one, but it came up at a good price, so I snared it. I don't find '61 Topps that compelling but I think this is just an awesome portrait of Roberto Clemente. The colors are great too. This one goes into the ol' PC.

DStars45 · 10-27-2020, 04:02 PM

Love it! Have really wanted to pick up a ‘57 or ‘61 Topps of Clemente myself lately.
