Great card and autograph! That card looks like it would grade around 6 even without the auto.

Thanks Danny, it is a nice looking card. There is a small stain that does not appear on the scan but otherwise it is a clean card. The scan in the listing made it look like it might have a surface crease but that was not the case once I got it in hand.

That's the problem with vintage cards...It's too darn easy to justifying whatever amount of money..

For 15 dollars I couldn't pass up that lot.. For 100, I couldn't pass up that card. For 5000, I couldn't pass up that set. For 10K, I couldn't pass up that condition..

Versus the "I bought the box hoping I'd pull............"
The thing is you have to learn what you are willing to pass up in every situation when collecting.

Nice cards, Martin. I really like the Stark and Fritz.

Re: OFFICIAL- Vintage Pickup Thread.

Thanks Chris :!: The Tinker looks fabulous in hand (great depth of colour). I really should have added bigger scans though - I will go back and edit.

They weren't cheap - especially the Tinker but they do fill some sizeable holes in my collection - only had one Southern Leaguer before these three were added.

I like the mantle you just picked up

Nice addition. I'd forgotten that McCovey played for the Padres.
