    Vintage Pick Up Thread

    I picked up another Diamond Star Hall of Famer. I am loving this set with each card I purchase. Looking for lower grades with little or no creases that present nice. These cards are 83 years old so as long as they have great eye appeal I am going to collect them. I owe it all to this...

    I didnt realize you were going after Triple Folders. I love that set and they are actually affordable (for the most part) as well. Nice collection you have going.

    Ballpark Characters

    What I great idea for a off the beaten path autograph collection. Growing up in and around Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park in the late 60's and early 70's and having the great honor of working at Wrigley in the 80's I can think of several characters Andy the Clown at Comiskey. He was a throw...

    Looks like I have caught the Diamond Stars bug. a few recent pick ups. Legendary Yankees third baseman Red Rolfe. He played with Ruth, Gehrig and the rest of Murderers row from 1931 to 1942 after graduating from Yale. HE would go on to become a Major League manager and a front office...

    -- 2018 NSCC Thread The National! --

    Prices are almost always through the roof at the National as dealers are not looking to ditch their material but assume they are going to cash in because of the big money that is expected to walk through the door. I know many collectors who save up their money for the year and go to the...

    -- 2018 NSCC Thread The National! --

    Its funny that I was reading on the Net54 boards that there was more modern cards there than they had ever seen at a National before. There is no doubt vintage is king but even the last few Nationals I have attended in Chicago seem to have more and more modern represented.

    I had a chance to pick up this King Carl at an incredible price. Due to the price it went for I thought for sure it will be beat up and nearly destroyed when I received it but that was not the case. It matches up on size, has no creases and smells like an old card should. That's two of the...

    Exit Interview: I'm Retiring from Collecting Canseco and Selling Out

    I have bought and sold my collection several times in the 40+ years I have collected and about ten years ago I sold off everything again, mainly because I realized my twenty-something year old children had no interest in whatever stuff I had. I lied to myself that the collection was for the...

    Nice pick ups. You really are making me want to take a run at this set.

    I have to agree on the Diamond Stars. I have been contemplating the set for a year now. The checklist has a great number of hall of famers with no Ruth or Gehrig that will break the bank. The design is a throw back to the art-deco age which is in line with the era these cards were produced...

    what did I buy here?

    Junk is in the eye of the beholder. Their cards are nicely done but if you are looking for something vintage, well you just got taken. I really wish their titles in the Ebay postings were more honest as to what these cards are.

    AVOID SGC CROSSOVER SERVICE!!!!

    LOL wow....this thread is destined for the hall of shame if you keep up the attitude. As for what of it????? You going to be one of those internet tough guys or are you going to listen to those who have experience and actually listen or are you going to listen to the voices in your head who...

    AVOID SGC CROSSOVER SERVICE!!!!

    SGC 98 has ALWAYS been the equivalent of a BGS 9.5 and this is coming from someone who has been in the hobby 45 years. If, in your world you do not agree then that is on you but this has always been the hobby's viewpoint. Now if you are asking if I went to a show and had to chose between the...

    I cant help but wonder how many beatings he took as a child because of being just a plain old dumbass. His act just gets old. I need to look for that ignore feature (assuming we have one here) and make sure Super Mario and his mushroom cloud are ignored.

    What would you do?

    Give me the life in the majors. Minimum salary being 650K and the chance to play baseball for ten years of your life and retire a happy man. Probably hook up with several teams as a coach and continue to make your living in an occupation most only dream about. Yeah give me the majors.

    I'm working on getting you guys more people to talk to.

    I dont disagree with you. I rarely, if ever go to BO as that place is generally a cesspool of craziness and at my age I dont need that! With the exception of Net54 I think places like Facebook groups and other such places have taken over where message boards used to be. The Net54 guys are...

    I Am glad you took it in the spirit it was meant. I dont like it either as this board has always been a great place to come to and I hope it does return to it's former glory. I am more than willing to help in any way I can. I have not written anything in the last year or two as I returned to...

    I'm working on getting you guys more people to talk to.

    Its not entirely on you to have content worth reading but there are other boards that attract collectors and sadly this place is no longer at the top of many "must see" lists anymore. This place has been up and running nearly 10 years now and early on it was the place to be but sadly many were...
