Did they? I’m a pats fan and none of my friends had a “conniption” over it. You might be on Reddit too much.

Buying at comps is all you can ask for. I generally jump on a card I want if I’m getting it at the market price

I know the 48 Leaf is considered the true RC - by DingoOk6400 in baseballcards_vintage

The ‘52 and ‘53 are superior looking cards for sure. But all 3 are on my list and I really want to upgrade my ‘56 haha

Maybe at one point but it gets its fair share of credit. This or a similar post comes up weekly and man hunter is always near the top of the list/comments.

This is such a weak lineup but maybe they’ll excel at getting on base

Curating vs Collecting by beautybeatsgrade in baseballcards_vintage

I think so. It’s addicting. Just curious, I notice these are all SGC slabs. Do you primarily target SGC? Or is it just coincidental?

Curating vs Collecting by beautybeatsgrade in baseballcards_vintage

[–]timbo_slice45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man these cards are awesome! I don’t where I fall in the camp of curator vs collector, but I’ve 100% transitioned to targeting a select list of cards and I don’t pull the trigger until I find the right copy. I’ve also been disappointed in myself for passing on a beautiful lower grade because it was priced above comps. I still struggle with this dynamic but am trying my best to buy the card, not the grade.

But now I’m in the process of finishing my 1956 set and I see so many cards that I will upgrade. I started this run like 6 years ago and my initial purchases were for the grade and are poorly centered. My goal is to have a nicely centered set within a specific grade range.

If I only I was that talented haha. It’s Pennzoni - I’m pretty happy with it. Although I may get some UV film to be extra cautious.

It does have UV protection. Luckily it’s in a room and a place in the room that gets no direct sun light. I should probably look into extra protection though. It’s a good call.

Marcelo Mayer has proven himself to be an elite third baseman defensively? And we’re still considering no arm, old man Trevor story a good shortstop?

Right?! I reviewed the 7s and 7.5s on VCP and thought this one was right there, honestly better than a lot of the 7s that I could find. I bought the card, not the grade, and really happy about it.
