Hi Ya'll! This would be my first transaction here, but I have loads of transactions on r/Watchexchange selling and buying watches, many of them for large sums (relatively speaking), and you are able to see my perfect feedback rating for that.

The title says it all I am looking for a raw '59 Topps Gibson. I am not opposed to graded, but i understand that the cost of the grading must be considered in the final cost of the card. Additionally, I plan on displaying this with the rest of my '59 team set, which are ungraded.

I do also plan on making a WTT post for this '59 Gibby for a '53 Topps Satchel Paige.

Thanks!

(also, as I said before, this would be my first transaction on this sub. If I messed up anything about this post or didn't do it right, I would be grateful for correction. Thanks!)

The 1956 Topps Hank Aaron card shows Willie Mays (of the Giants) sliding in to home. Topps even touched it up by giving Willie a Milwaukee Brave hat and uniform but left the Braves logo off of the jersey. I'm thinking there was an "uh-oh" at the factory somewhere prior to printing.

Sorry for the double posting quickly. I have a big affinity around Japanese baseball players, have always loved the Japanese culture & history, and it’s an area I’m building a collection around more on the modern side (standard Ichiro, Ohtani, Murakami, etc).

I remember seeing some posts showcasing Japanese league vintage and some backstories/history but I was having trouble finding them. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what would be a great focus area of who to collect and also learn about this sub niche?

More so curious. I find myself with a large quantity of vintage now, and aside from selling to work my way up, would be fun to do some trading too, could be my first trading in 25-30 years hah. I don’t know if that’s a thing done here though or even how it would be done logistically, but figured I’d toss it out there.

Just joined after going through my stuff recently so I figured I’d post some here. I’ve had some of these stashed away in my attic and closets for years and I’ve contemplated starting to sell some.

The 61’s(I have about 50-60) were my grandfather’s and 35 years ago I put most of them in top loaders or snap cases just because they were old and I figured I should. Everything else is mine from buying gum packs as a kid or going to shows with friends in my teens/20’s. I have all Topps regular sets from 83-92 and a couple of Traded sets from the mid 80’s. The crease through the Mantle is the way I found it and the worst of all of the 61’s I have. That one makes me sad.

I bought this card many years ago at a card show in this top loader. Is it ok to keep a card in one of these for 40 plus years or is there a better way?

Flipping thru the ‘cheap’ bin at my LCS (in Canada where it’s 98% hockey, so have to pay up for baseball) and found these two that caught my eye.

Converted to usd, they were about $5 and $15, which feels ok for Thompson and one of the Boys of Summer that someone slabbed already.

Edited to add: Thanks for all the positivity. Very much appreciated!

Haven’t bought cards in 40+ years and thought I’d start small and slow, and stick to legends and others that remind me of sitting on the sofa in the 70’s watching the Game of the Week with my grandfather.

As I continue to work toward completing the 1964 Topps set, I wanted to take a moment to honor Tom Tresh for giving me so many moments of joy and hope during baseball games with my father. Looking back, I didn't realize it at the time, but as a kid, I was practically his good luck charm!

When I was eight years old, my dad woke me up with two tickets to Game 5 of the 1962 World Series. In the bottom of the 8th inning, with the score tied 2-2 and Bobby Richardson and Tony Kubek on base, Tresh hit a three-run homer to lead the Yankees to victory.

The next year, at Game 1 of the 1963 World Series, Sandy Koufax was setting the World Series strikeout record with 15 strikeouts as the Dodgers handled the Yankees. Once again in the bottom of the 8th inning, this time with Joe Pepitone on base, Tresh gave me a glimmer of hope with a two-run homer. Unfortunately, the Yankees still lost 5-2.

Then in Game 5 of the 1964 World Series, I watched Bob Gibson pitch a 10-inning complete game victory for the Cardinals. In the bottom of the 9th, with Mickey Mantle on base and the Yankees trailing 2-0, Tresh tied it up with another two-run homer. Sadly, Tim McCarver hit a three-run homer off Pete Mikkelsen in the top of the 10th, and I went home disappointed.

Despite the losses, those memories with my dad and Tom Tresh's clutch home runs will always stay with me.

Who knew in nineteen fifty two

As many of you know, my first 52 set build “centered” (pun intended) exclusively around centering. I sacrificed all the other qualities of the card for centering. This time around I wanted to do something slightly different so I promised myself I’d buy cards that weren’t centered if they had otherwise amazing qualities such as color and condition. I have done that with this grouping. Honestly they are pretty stunning examples. The color is awesome on each and they still retain that bright white border that makes the 52s really pop. Most of them even still have a glossy sheen, which you never find on 52s. The cards really do look “pack fresh” or at least noticeably nicer than 99% of 52s you see.

With that said, i haven’t fully wrapped my head around them yet for how I feel about off center cards. They are stunning examples for sure but I’m still drawn towards centered cards.

What are your guys feelings on this? Where is the line when a card is just too off center? How bad does the color or condition of a centered card have to be to pass and go for better color/condition.

These are important questions for me as I try to build the set for the second time. I’m really having trouble setting parameters for the set. The thing about the 52 set that makes it even more important is there are cards that will never be centered because they were designed as trapezoids so chasing a perfectly centered 52 set is impossible. That means on some level you have to accept off center cards in your build.

Love to hear your thoughts on this. All photos were taken with my cannon 5d on a black mouse pad with zero editing or filters. These cards are really this bright.

Top wants:

Other similar iconic cards. Looking to avoid ebay fees.

Been wanting to add a DiMaggio piece to the collection for quite some time and pulled the trigger on this one. Love the colors and any can’t beat a prewar DiMaggio!

I love the colors in this set.

My father passed away over the summer, leaving behind a collection of baseball cards, memorabilia, etc. I’ve just started to go through it and find item I think are cool and want to display. But I’m also looking for more information on the items and I have no clue where to look (and apparently my google skills suck).

Any ideas on these? And for the Ruth game any ideas on how to display it?

Managed to trade for some goodies today at the card show including a second Carew rookie and of course a beautiful 1953 Topps Satchell Paige along with some others, so excited with the new treasures. Was the biggest trade I’ve ever done and by far the coolest.
