Picked up some stuff at a card show today.

I like the Foxx. All the Goudey’s really. What do you look for in ‘33 Goudey set when you’re buying? Price, player, need, registration, grade?

[QUOTE=Sheld505;19868180]I like the Foxx. All the Goudey’s really. What do you look for in ‘33 Goudey set when you’re buying? Price, player, need, registration, grade?[/QUOTE]

I'm trying to do one of each HOFer in the set outside of most of the non-playing-days stuff and certainly no Nap Lajoie.

So long as the card doesn't have any creases that detract to much from the eye appeal and its centered decently I'm picking it up if I don't have it yet and its a HOFer. I try not to go higher than 3 grades because they can get pricey but the color, registration and centering on that Cochrane were so good I couldn't pass it up.

The Herman was just to have a comically cut up card in the run tbh. The dealer I bought it from picked up >100 Goudeys off a gentlemen who said they were all cut like this and glued into an album at some point. The backs add even more flavor - for example on this Herman, paper loss from taking the card out of the album caused half his name on the back to go missing so someone wrote in the remainder of his name in pencil.

A few pickups. I checked CGC pop reports and I think my 2011 Topps Update Goldschmidt Black /60 got a CGC 9. I sent it through COMC and there wasn't one there before I sent it. I am the only idiot that would send a card like that to CGC as well. I just wanted to make sure the card didn't have a serious issue and felt safer just getting it graded. I didn't want to pay the PSA fees to grade a card and for $18 it was worth it to me. Hopefully they didn't put the card in a baggy inside the slab. Hopefully it shows on COMC soon!

Awesome card! I've been on the lookout for the Pettitte for a while now. Had a coworker ask me what my grail Pettitte card is and I actually picked the Starting 9. I remember opening a ton of the product as a kid and just getting excited with the warning track parallels.

I guess I’ll share this too then. Not the starting 9, but another big pettitte card I’ve been chasing down. Got it this past weekend.

I’ll keep an eye out for you on the S9 ronzo

Couple fun April pickups for me

1998 Donruss Significant Signatures Ted Williams Unreleased SP - This pair came out of a Playoff exec's collection. I managed to pick up both a numbered copy out of /100 and an unnumbered damage replacement copy. Wish they were signed but they support my theory that Significant Signatures was supposed to be a tiered SP set like several other Donruss releases from 1998.

I also snagged what I believe is the first card of the Titanic that specifically pictures the Titanic and is titled as such with the 1925 Duncan & Co Steamships of Evolution Titanic. There is a 1911 Cadbury White Star liners issue that many consider the Titanic "rookie" if you will but it mentions both the Titanic and Olympic and has a generic image.

I also had Tanner Jones hook me up with a serious glow up of a really, really grubby JSA certed Willie Mays postcard.

If I hadn't spent so much money these past few months I might have taken a shot at that one. That was actually the 2nd card I named as a grail to my coworker and it popped up on eBay the next day.

Just appeared in my COMC inventory! I am so happy that it is not in the stupid plastic sleeve. PSA grading would have been stupid expensive for this card. Still looking for a decent price on the Target Red and would love a Hope Diamond /60 if I could get it under $1K. :p

How does the back look? 1967 is one of my favorite years since the backs are in Spanish and we’re also decidedly the most bootleg version of Venezuelan Topps.

Thanks man. Funny thing is, I never cared about the TT Canseco until very recently. I grew up obsessing over the Donruss because it was THE card when I started collecting. I’ve been reevaluating how I collect now that I’m older and the Donruss is just a lame headshot with a forgettable design. I much prefer the TT because of the pose and colors

Also picked up a companion piece for it. Next up is gonna be an 85 Fleer or Topps Rickey

[QUOTE=OhioLawyerF5;19875448]Back is super clean for a Venezuelan. That line on the bottom left is glare on the one touch.

[QUOTE=atk825;19876275]Oh yah, that's a great back. I have all of the Frank Robinson Vennys and am happy that while my 1967 has a corroded corner that the back is clean and all text is legible.[/QUOTE]

This is an INCREDIBLE card!

That's certainly an impressive run. I'd be over the moon to find the '68 Ryan...but those (like of the Venny's) are so tough to find.

Grabbed the Ruth Bat to go alongside the jersey card from the same set...

Finally found the 2005 Topps Finest Green Xfractor /50 after years of hunting! Won it for .58 cents under my max bid so way to close to missing out on it. Moved a couple of my Murphy PC autos to help find it but happy to have it. Only the gold Refractor and Xfractor left to find for the non 1/1 rainbow lol.

Frank Robinson obviously much easier than Pete. Frank only has 3 true base cards, 1964, 1966 and 1967...and then a few league leader cards. Pete Rose I think had more, plus there's the Rookie Cup which is a big dollar card,

Yeah, I saw a couple of the 64 Rose at Strongsville. It's definitely on my radar. Had I not snagged that Concepcion I would have bought one of them.

Also in the short bit of time that I have been paying attention to these, the popular has gone up quite a bit. I don't think they were that short printed and given how much they have shot up in price, I think people who have access to them, especially in VZ are bringing a lot more to market.

Had to travel to San Diego for work and I always try to find a sports card shop in the area. I purchased these two at Supreme Card Shop. Had to pay the San Diego tax on the Merrill, but I didn't have any decent cards of his. The Ryan is numbered to 5 and part of my more than 2000 card PC of his.
