February Pick-ups

Gorgeous, Lee!

A nicely graded common, my first Tolstoi back, and the 'last' card in the set. Not bad for the middle of the week!





I contemplated selling out of this set a few months back. I'm glad I didn't do it. It's just too much fun.

A couple random purchases - an Obak and a Wheat card :



and

Still in a state of disbelief:

that's a sharp one. i like your oj's, they're very liquid and desirable to other collectors because of the plus attributes for that set.

edit: don't like the seller tho

Really nice looking card, Jamie! Where did you get it from, if you don't mind saying?

ebay!!!

Thanks for the compliments, Quan and Blair. It seems hard to find Mack OJ's that aren't kind of messed up, this one has the clear image, good centering and corners.

Plus, I just like the suspended ball, and the frog pose!

That's a nice Mack. Having bought just one OJ (not a Mack), and undersanding somewhat the issues with OJs and their technical grades, why is that card graded Fair? Does the reverse have marks? The front looks great!

Thanks Mike! Yes, the reverse has residue from being glued to a binder.

agree on both your comments quan - gorgeous Mack, don't care for the seller either.

Thanks for the compliment, Chris.

I have never done business with this particular seller before, but here's what I'll say - as long as he sends me the card in a reasonably timely manner, and I receive the card as advertised, I will be very, VERY pleased with the transaction.

he will do that for sure.

anything over 1.5k should be sent overnight express mail, it's cheap and fast compared to other services.

I love that when you look at Jamie's OJs you can actually see who is in the photograph.

Nice jamie...i went up to 2k on mack...i ve always wanted an oj mack...i thought the price was strong but what do i know about ojs...congrats!

Wow, Pete! Going for an OJ?!?!?! Who would have thought?

Getting information out of Pete about what he collects is tough...

...it's like pulling teeth.

Yeah jamie...i know!!! Chris...whatever! I collect vintage cardboard i like...there...you know!

Gee Pete, I thought you would show Chris the cards pulling teeth you picked up.

Great card Jamie, I love that pose!
