Vintage Pick Up Thread

[Randy Shields]

Thanks guys. Yeah I was locked out of the site due to being abroad... but everything is fixed now.
Indeed, LOVE my latest Mays. Still got lots to get but this is the highlight of my collection right now. I'm now looking for the 55, 58 and some of the 60s....
Here's my current colleciton with 2 cards at SGC. View attachment 116588

That's aMAYSing!!

Another Pepsi score that will hopefully eventually become a part of a larger post on the subject, when I have time to focus on it.

Not loving the stray ink mark, but had never seen this item before and I like the punch-out Trammell membership card.

If you have not all figured it out by now, I like the strange and obscure stuff way more than the run of the mill pack pulled cards. Clearly a Dodger/Garvey fan, but anything could catch my eye at any moment. I have a very diverse collection.

This was one of those..."Never seen that before, must have" items. A newspaper Iron On featuring Mark Fidrych. This is the 2nd newspaper Iron-On baseball player I have added to my collection, the first being a Pete Rose.

You know most of these either got recycled/trashed or used. Glad for people who saved this kind of stuff! It was more than I wanted to pay ($20), but I figure if I didn't buy it, I'd never see another one as long as I lived and $20 to me at this point in my life is not a big deal.

I figured that these deserved to also be on the Vintage thread!

This guy beat you to corning the market on the 1964 Kurt Flood cards.

Lol... not really when I see the # of 56 Mays out there.
Just trying for the "one card in each grade"... will never get complete of course and I serioulsy doubt I'll get anything above the 7 (financially speaking).... maybe the 8 but not sure. Still on my Mays run... just over 50% there... when I get around 80% or so, I'll start buying some Mantles, Aaron, Clemente, Robinson... I have a new project in mind. I think I'm going to go for a "top 3" of players like that. I'm not talking about top 3 price wise but top 3 "my personal favorites" of these players. I don't expect to start that soon because I still have some big Mays cards to get (62, 66 and 71)... those are going to kill me if I want an "8".
We'll see....

62nd card of this set.....applied my Ebay bucks as part of purchase.

domino, it must be quite a challenge to collect those players when you live in France. A very cool collection too.

Indeed... high shipping costs and custom duties to pay (about 30% extra).... kills me everytime. Thank you. The bigger the collection gets, the more I love it as well.

My latest Mays purchase... can't afford an 8 like the others... so I just bought a nice copy of this once.

I haven't taken the time to take a picture of the entire collection yet but it'll go nicely next to the others.
