June 2025 Arrivals

[mrmopar]

A nice variety of autos, nothing super impressive, but all solid players in their sport. Blackmon, Fielder, F. White, Goodrich, English, Payton, Blackwood & Lundy.

Very nice

 

[Dazed]

Not an arrival but from the blaster I mentioned in the Tuesday Morning thread.

A rare time that bad collation worked in my favor. This MADE my day.

Base, Blue Refractor 002/150 & Yellow Refractor Auto 33/75!​

That would be a good billboard for the Brewers: Jesus Made Milwaukee Brewers.

Been a while I’ve seen this card and at least at a reasonable price. Numbered /34.

 

[michaelstepper]

After a mix up with the carrier, this arrived today.
I questioned for 8 years if this card was made. Then found a picture of one on worthpoint with the last sale date of either late 07 or 08, so I knew it was made at least.

First one I've seen. Overpaid a bit but my 07 single signatures main Franken-set is one card short now.

 

[nevermore]

Added this and a 1962 Mantle base for my 1952-present Yankees Topps run. Decent eye appeal for the grade to fit my budget. Happy to finally cross off a big one. Just 29 cards remain from 1952-1969.

This is a beautiful card, I was bidding on until it got above my number. But besides being rare like you said, the big thing that makes this interesting to me is the fact that it is a 2007 ball that has not faded....I'm not quite sure what makes the difference at this point almost 20 years on, but different/old balls, different pens/markers, whatever...most have faded but a small number don't. And if they haven't faded by now, chances are they are not going to....to that end I just bought a Mazeroski ball for this reason. Crystal clear, not faded, 2007 ball auto.

One odd observation I've made over the years..
The 07 sepia versions have held better. I have no idea why.
If you look at comparable signatures from 07 alone. The full color versions tend to be the ones that fade. You'll still get a few here or there in these, but nothing like the full color versions

 

[banjar]

Niiiice! But I have to say, that looks better than a 1. At least a 2...

The ultimate act of overkill, but I've had the one with the upside-down auto for something like 15 years, possibly a little longer, and decided it was time to get one with the auto facing the correct direction. I'm not planning on trying to collect duplicates of any other Immortal autos, but special exception here.

Nice!
For Stargell being a rarer one he's been listed quite a bit the last few years. Nice bold sig too. I updated mine a while back as well.

What do you need?

What do you need?

Missing the Seaver of all things. Another SP in the set, I've seen several available. Not willing to pay 2-3x what a normal seaver sweet spot goes for.

 

[mrmopar]

Business trip, so 5 days worth of mail to receive. A couple of unredeemed autograph exchange/trade cards (Reggie Jackson and Bob Hayes), a Banty Averill, a few HOFers in basketball highlighted by Wade. Another Philly for the set and the oddball creator of the Super 70s set that I think was online only. I had one but it was cheap and kind of interesting.
