Official Bobby Doerr collector's thread

[Tzvih123]

I've sent 2 TTM requests to him, with no success.

Just got this beauty in the mail today...a steal at the $35 bucks I paid considering My offer of $50 for just the hat was rejected by another seller and on this one I not only got the hat with the Fleer COA but the box and tractor trailer too!! Been wanting one of these since 2001! Enjoy!

Nice pickup Jeff! It's good to see you back.
Please post all you'd like!

 

[Doerrcollector]

Another Friday, another huge week in my Doerr collection!! Here we go with the adds!

First off is two signed 8x10s of Doerr in a Blue Jays Coaching uniform which anything is a Toronto uniform is hard to find (hopefully more on that next week!)


Then we have the 1991 Upper Deck Heroes Stadium giveaways-but this isn't your normal one as these both say SAMPLE instead of being numbered like those given away at the stadiums -I LOVE the art on these and had to add these to my collection


Then a 1974 Laughlin PSA 9 ( had an ungraded copy before)


Then a 1952 Berk Ross PSA 6 (look at how red this card is!)


And while we are at it how about 4 Bowmans...


Then a couple of Playballs...


Which is a good Segway into this...


As well as these...


Then we have this beauty!


Which is horribly off centered but I don't care because this is what the back looks like...


Yes ladies and gents a Playball Sample card! Never had seen one before so it was a must have!

Then we have these beauties which look great next to each other!


Then a little more modern.. #9 /20 with DP (got shill bidded and lost one so I went and got this one for cheaper...same day I got it in the mail the shill seller offered me a second chance lol..thanks but no thanks!)


Before a couple of odd ball adds...

2003 Cadaco HOF Baseball Disc



1994 APBA Card Game



And finally a 1950 Drake Cookies (been looking for one of these forever!!!)



Hope you enjoy as much as I do--going to try to do week updates on Fridays so until then thanks for looking!

Thanks,
Jeff

LOVE the vintage additions, Jeff. That Drake's Cookies is an incredibly tough one to find, congrats on that one! Really like the dual auto with Pedey, too....the absolute perfect autograph tandem (just wish Dustin had a nicer looking sig, lol!). Gotta love the artwork on the Perez Steeles, and they look good in slabs too! Ok I'll stop with the droolfest, but keep these mailday posts coming

I hope lots of people are taking advantage of Doerr's generosity and sending him lots of vintage cards for signature. There will never be enough of that when he is gone (where as there will be plenty of Pacific Legends and those types of cards).

If I could convince myself to shell out the bones, i'd like to send him a 38 Goudey, the 50 Drake and the 51 Topps cards for signature. I don't have any of those though and all are quite pricy in decent shape.

That they are Scotty... Very rare and when found condition is tough because of the black boarders..a PSA 9 Doerr went for $1750 at some point on the last few years!! Never had even seen one until a few weeks ago, and I'm glad to have it off the list now!

Thanks,
Jeff

I have a Goudey I'll have to dig out later. The Drake and Topps blue back would look amazing, but I'm happy with the normal ones in my collection to start since they are so hard to find at all (still trying for a blue back). Plus I've grown more picky on the one the card autos and think I could only bring myself to get one that is PSA slabbed.

But I am partial to the 1941 Playballs---was my first vintage Doerr and just love how the colors pop out or the card compared to the earlier cards!

Thanks,
Jeff

I hear ya, Jeff. 41' PB was actually the first prewar vintage card I purchased, and still one of my favorites!

 

[Doerrcollector]

Another Friday and another week if Big Doerr mail days -today is two weeks worth! Without delay....




I believe 92 Spectrum Diamond Club ( a card that was really hard to find for some reason-had to buy a set to get the Doerr)


2002 Diamond Kings Sample



Couple of classics and a nice new one


1983 MLBPA Pin


1943 Cadaco Ethan Allen Game piece


Panini Prime Cuts w/ McCovey #10 Love this design!


First one of these and it's HUGE!


Anybody know why the PSA tag says 1964- DATE on this one?


It goes nicely with this one, which I didn't even know existed until this auction so had to have it..it's about half the size of the normal HOF postcard


86 Donruss a Highlights White Letter ERROR


Couple of nice signed checks


Late 70s Blue Jays Team Issue Media Print


And a long search for one to cross off the listen-surprisingly hard to find but less now that I have it in hand---these are paper thin and as a stadium giveaway I'm sure hundreds were destroyed---1979 Blue Jays Bubble Yum---going to do a separate post with more on these





Also notice the photos are the same in the team issue and the Bubble Yum


And last but not least....2001 Lowell Spinners Military tribute Bobble Head Giveway -looks awesome in person!




Until next week thanks for looking!!
Thanks,
Jeff

Can't believe I've never seen or posted in this thread. Here are some of my favorites. The HOF postcard was sent to me in 2004, along with an autographed ball, through a friend of a family friend when they mentioned to Mr. Doerr that I was a deployed soldier (in my past life). Class act (it should be noted that Yaz also sent me an unsolicited autographed ball when I was deployed. Another example of a fine man).

Good stuff , love the oddball stuff

[Doerrcollector]

Johnny, you have some great stuff in your bucket for your Doerr collection, including a couple I have never seen (nice Donruss 1/1 lol).

And yeah I've been on a oddball role lately trying to hunt down the non mainstream stuff on my Doerr checklist. Crazy how hard some of the stuff from the 70s and 80s can be sometimes.

Thanks,
Jeff

View attachment 40886

Forgot to mention that I love these signed checks---it a more personal collectable to me than just a signed index card or a Pacific card. Always neat to look at who he was writing it to as well. These are my third one, and I'll continue to look to add more if the price is right ( there are few currently on eBay that are WAAAAAY higher than they should be and my offers have all been rejected )

Thanks,
Jeff

[michaelstepper]

Hey guys. I have an 8x10 signed by Doerr at the hof. Written out to my buddy Jeremy who gave it to me. If anyone heres interested I'm looking to move it.

And the long time mystery bidder has been found..... Excuse me while I go pick my jaw up off the floor. Glad these went to a fellow board member thou-makes losing them a tiny bit easier lol.

17 1/1's....crazy stuff, James! Very nice additions


Sadly this is one 1/1 that won't end up in your collection

Glad to hear that

 

[Doerrcollector]

I'm hoping someone here hit the two national treasures booklets that went in less than 12 hours today---went in to put in my offer tonight and they were gonzo

Thanks,
Jeff

Definitely have seen an uptick in prices of Doerr cards lately.
I blame Jeff (@Doerrcollector) !!!

A few of my recents...

#10 /10

And one I've wanted for years....

While I would like to take credit, it's more than just me that's driving it up! I was shocked when the two National Treasures booklets went for the list BIN of $179 before I could even get in a offer! And that Distinguished has been on my list for a long time as well--nice pickup!! I'll be posting a few pickups tomorrow but backed off this week in anticipation of Doerr being in Panini HOF 75th which releases on the 8th.

Thanks,
Jeff
