I've slowed way down but mostly focused on pre-WWII baseball... and mostly T206 portraits and cards issued by Louisiana companies. As far as I know the Cafe Du Monde card is 1 of 3 known with that ad back.

1933 Goudey Ruth:


T206s:




Louisiana stuff:

Very nice! That Babe is iconic and that Johnson is just sick.

Outside of Brady, MJ, and a few non sport things, I'm mainly vintage as well. In particular Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali.

Sold a few Mantles and Willie Mays at the show. Saving up for a 48 Leaf Jackie. I have the funds, just trying to find the right deal. Need a 52 as well but they have sky rocketed lately and are almost as much as the 48's.

I bought that 20 yrs ago on ebay. It was ungraded and I took a chance based on the photos. It's a stunner in person... no creases, sharp colors. The only flaw is that missing corner. I paid $600 and in that condition it would go >$7000 today. Those old pieces of cardboard were an excellent investment.

I love all of Jackie's early cards. I had a low grade 53 Topps JR... can't remember if I sold it or it's still in the safe.

Do you live in south Louisiana and do you like to trade?

My father is a big time collector. Entire ‘33 and ‘34 Goudey sets for example. He is retired and not familiar with selling on eBay, so he sells and trades person to person. It’s his hobby now that he is retired.

Just wondering if you guys would like to connect.

Idk if it's just me, but I absolutely love the mid 2000s era of Topp Chrome cards (definitely for football). Takes me back to my early collecting day

It was a corner booth and I had all the wax on the table to my right. I was facing straight and talking to two people and I guess someone just decided to swipe them when I wasn't paying attention. I keep my cards in cases for that reason but wax I figured would be hard for someone to steal. That's the first time I've put my wax out on the table, I normally have it on a shelf behind me.

Can anyone tell me if this typo adds any value to this Mickey Mantle card?

Sweet card, so close to being a number match! There's a Marvin Harrison up for auction right now, which could give you a good idea of the value of your Emmitt. Wouldn't shock me if it was ~$100

Tough card to value. I'd be interested in buying if you're selling.

Anybody got any new pickups?

Wanted to go to the Dallas show this past weekend but couldn't make it.

Pretty hard to tell if the Babe is real or not without touching it. Always assume that card is fake. That is a huge card if real. Here's an article on spotting a fake on that card. LINK

Definitely would just be best to send it in to PSA or SGC. If it's real it'll be a nice little payday for you. What's the story behind it?

Also, the error on the Mickey would definitely add value. Another card that needs to be graded.

I picked this the first day pro debut was released and have yet to find one like it online. I plan on getting it graded and have no idea the value.

Whew, that's a banger. Signature grade is definitely going to be a 10.

Nice.

Added one I had been looking for for 3-4 years to my Maisie Williams/Arya Stark Game of Thrones PC. I have 17 of her 20 autos now. Random PC I know

Pulled these today along with a few others. Already offered $250 for the garbage pale. Probably keeping the Skenes.
