A new Ramly on the way...

Thanks Toby. I was a minute too late on the SGC 40 Ramly Brown from Bill Cornell, but I'm happy with this one. Hope I didn't step on any toes with this one (Mark). Other than the obvious flaw it's a decent portrait shot of the three-fingered one and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Love the Ramly set, beautiful cards. Hey that gives me an idea for a thread


edited to fix scan.

Can't beat that Ben !

Brown - one of the three pitchers that Bob Gibson did not beat in 1968 with his season long 1.12 ERA. And has a lifetime ERA lower than Matty, Johnson and most others.

If you ever consider parting with that Ramly, please look this way for an enthusiastic potential buyer.

Congrats !

there is no worry about stepping on my toes Ben, trust me, i totaly understand. That was a great price and the card looks very nice!!!


The only thing that gets me about grading cards like your new T204 Brown, i know there is a small piece missing and psa gave it a 1. On my T204 Square frame there is a small piece of tape holding 1 corner together. If i were to remove that tape and if the corner came of is it now considered a PSA/SGC 1 because now there is no tape instead of how it is now graded SGC AUT just because tape is holding it on?

Anyway, nice pick up...

Toby mentioned in his description that he didn't think it should be in a "1" holder either. Doesn't matter much to me as I'll likely crack it him anyway so he can be free with his new friend Mr. Plank

Ben,
The card looks a bit better than I thought...I was expecting a beater not a corner missing card.

Is this card rare? I have seen 2 for sale in the past few days and they were gone in a snap (saw both when posted)...shoot!

But I'm looking for a Jimmy Collins (Minneapolis, Manager) Ramly if anyone has an extra one.

Not an easy card to find by any means, I wouldn't call it "rare". Ramly HOFers are just really popular and usually pretty expensive in anything above 'poor' shape. I used to own a very sharp Ramly Brown, which I traded away years ago and it later graded SGC 80 by the person I traded it too! It was auctioned off later on in REA and did very well.

As for Jimmy Collins, I think you'll be able to track one down. He isn't on the level of Brown in terms of popularity, but you'll still have to shell out some coin for a decent one. I'll keep an eye out for you on that

Absolutely. Will do, Gil.

Your scanner did that, i noticed myself if i try to scan with high DPI it does that. who knows i could be wrong.


About the PSA label....there is a fine line sometimes when PSA grades a card with a piece missing. Also i have seen SGC give a number grade to a card with a piece missing.

great card and price. I am sure a lot of people on net54 thought the card was beat up because Toby never adds scans to his listings. I would have bought it also without seeing the scan.
