June 2012 Baseball Pickups

Since it is now June (at least EST), I guess I can start a new thread for these that were in my mail today:

Todays Card show pickups
The Ritchey has those scrapbook tabs applied to the back otherwise very nice

Is that Dentist talk?

sample of what i've been up to the last couple months. plenty more of these, i got a dozen cards at psa/dna. trying to put together some topps signed cards 50s-90s. nothing rare or eye-catching but it's a nice way to chill and be competitive in my own way.

beautiful W600!

Great looking w516-1 Tris Speaker Blair. Not many of that issue of that quality. Did PSA explain why it did not get a numerical grade?

Thanks - I thought it looked above average too! I got it off eBay, so I don't know the PSA rationale. Most of the dotted line shows on both sides. That was enough for me to like it.

I don't want to derail the thread, but since there's been talk of W516s and numerical grading I thought I'd post my Alexander for comparison.



Edited to add...

Here's a Speaker graded SGC 50. Looks about the same as Blair's to me.

I think it's worth cracking and submitting to SGC. I really hope they haven't by rule stopped assigning numerical grades to strip cards. I've done well with a few of them at SGC.

The march of the commons continues!



Love that Dave Brain. Really nice color and definition for a 2.5.

That Cobb's incredible. Hope you don't mind, I just lifted the image to be my computer desktop! I'll probably switch back to Kristen Chenoweth eventually, but for now it's nice to have a good Cobb pose.

Congrats!

I told myself over and over that I'd resist this set, but it didn't work. Tonight, I gave in. It was like poison ivy, and finally I just had to scratch it. It was ill advised, but it felt really good.

Damn this hobby!

It looks like Cobb stepped on some guys life raft with his spikes. Leave it to Cobb to ruin a guys rafting experience..

Pete did you wave to Ben when you flew over him?
