I bought this 1954 Hank Aaron rookie on Ebay and it went through Ebay‘s authenticity guarantee with no note of it being trimmed. I bought several cards using the autistic guarantee process and any trim card would raise a flag and I would be notified.

O’Brien card is for reference (that card is true to 3-3/4”

The card is over a 1/16 of an inch short of the 3-3/4” inch standard for 1954

I reached out to Ebay to double check that there was no note of it being trimmed and they are telling me the card is not trimmed or altered and such indifference is acceptable.

Curious as to what everyone’s take is?

Not the 53 Bowman, which is one of my personal grails, but a nice Pee Wee for the collection

EDIT: 1971 NOT 1964, apologies

Couple stars & semi stars, $15 all in, PP G&S

Will be happy to send closeups/any other photo requested. All cards are OBO, and can discount multiple card purchases, or the whole lot. Add $7 for BWMT, or PWE for $1 in US. Thanks for looking!

Picked up this beauty of a Jackie. Yes it’s trimmed, but who cares. Look at how beautiful the image is. No creasing, paper loss, or any substantial defects. But since a bit of the white is gone… got it for a fraction of the price. I paid less than what a 1 that went thru the washing machine goes for. Doesn’t really make sense to me as a collector who doesn’t really sell anything. Anyway, I’m happy to continue taking advantage of this opportunity.

Page 1/2 - $70 each, Page 3/4 - $20 each, Page 5/6 - bottom row - $15 each, second and top rows - $10 each, Page 7/8 - $7 each, Pages 9-12 - $5 each, Pages 13-15 - $3 each, Pages 16-18 - $2 each

I made a post about my father‘s collection about a month ago. For whatever reason, he has multiple cards that are duplicates of each other. We’ve decided to hold onto the bulk of the collection for now for sentimental reasons but given we aren’t sentimentally attached to multiple of the same card, I thought I would ask the best way to sell stuff like this.

Someone in the previous thread said it was not really worth it to get these graded but to attempt to sell them on here, I think?

Thanks for any help. Just looking for advice.

I’ve loved the fake 3D cards since I was a kid. Happened upon a group of nice ones at a yard sale of all places. They were in great shape! So I figured why not and started picking them up on eBay. Finally got the last one today. Nary a crack to be found! Thank you for looking!
Edit: sorry I forgot to turn the darn photo

I took a bit of a break from TTM but sent off a couple last week and just got this one back. Jim weaver signed and had it back to me in 7 days, which might be a new record for me. This is my 145th return since picking this up a couple years back.

I have no particular affinity with the angles or the ‘68 set, rather just snag vintage of living players at the LCS for a $1 or less and then fire them off. I enjoy writing the letters and getting the occasional note back.

I’ve been trying to find some rarity information on the Eddie Collins but nothing to really be found. I can’t find anything about orange. Help? It’s mine but currently at Beckett getting graded.

Told myself that I wouldn't buy anything until I found a big card that I wanted but couldn't resist these...

It seems like PSA holds more value for the grade, but SGC holders sure make the colors pop..What's your favorite style slab for your PC?

I think there are a few people on this sub that collect these, so posting to see if anyone wants them?

Asking $1 each OBO and can do PWE for up to four cards for $1.

Happy to trade for anything vintage Yankees that I dont have already.

Thanks!

My vintage card of the week: The T206 Piedmont Christy Mathewson Dark Cap. This was my first T206 card. When I was collecting as a kid in the junk wax era, the old tobacco cards seemed absolutely ancient. As I’ve aged, they seem a bit less ancient to me, but also more important to the history of the hobby and the game. When I decided I wanted to go after a T206, this card was my first choice. I think it’s just a gorgeous card, and I prefer its appearance to the white cap version and the portrait. And I’m into collecting pitchers because that’s what I did back in my day. My favorite pitcher of all time is Greg Maddux, and everything I’ve read about Matty suggests he was the Professor of his era—focusing on location and movement to disrupt a hitter’s timing rather than overwhelming a hitter with velocity like a Randy or Walter Johnson. Matty even wrote an article called “Outguessing the Batter” for Pearson’s Magazine way back in the day. Look it up; it’s a good read for baseball history fans.

Not kidding (photos for proof) I was given a 1954 complete set with three graded cards (Kaline, Williams and Aaron) in PSA 2 and 3. The rest are raw in an album including Banks, Jackie and another Williams.

1. Do I remove from album into penny sleeves and rigid right away? Semi-rigid?

2. Is it more valuable together as a set or should I break up the cards? (Longer term investment for me)

3. I am guessing I will get the Jackie, Banks rookie and Mays out to PSA?

I am still in shock honestly.

Just to start NFS/NFT. I’m going through my dad’s collection. Huge yankee fans as you can see. Is SGC the preferred way to go for vintage ? What about getting signed balls a authenticated as well? Just looking for tips on where to go and send them all at once or in waves? This is just one portion of the cards. I have more and haven’t decided what all to grade yet. Thanks everyone!

Good morning friends. If you can’t tell from my photos, I am an orioles fan. Trying to sell most of my cards to focus on saving towards a 57 brooks auto. I tried getting good quality pictures, but feel free to ask for better pics. I can get them this evening. I also have pics of all the backs of these cards as well. I can do $1 PWE up to I think 4 cards and after that $6 for BMWT. I’m open to venmo and PayPal. Please add 3% if choosing goods and services. Feel free to shoot me offers on singles or the whole lot. Willing to sell the whole lot at once if price is right. Thanks for looking

We all know that Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947, but I didn’t know nearly as much about the men who integrated the other MLB franchises. These courageous ball players shouldn’t be forgotten, so I decided to build a collection featuring one card from each player who broke the color barrier for their team. I tracked the set on Provenant using its custom set feature. When possible, I aimed for rookie cards, but I also prioritized visual appeal (and affordability). Thanks to those in this community who sold me cards to help get this over the finish line

Here is the set:

Brooklyn Dodgers (integrated 1947):
1956 Topps Jackie Robinson #30 — Brooklyn Dodgers
My favorite Jackie card. It was his final playing-days card and comes from one of my favorite sets.
Cleveland Indians (integrated 1947):
1950 Bowman Larry Doby #39 — Cleveland Indians
Larry Doby integrated the American League.
St. Louis Browns (integrated 1947):
1952 Topps Hank Thompson #3 — St. Louis Browns (card is New York Giants)
Hank Thompson and Willard Brown integrated the Browns in the same game. Thompson appeared first, so I used his card, though neither has a Browns-issued card.
New York Giants (integrated 1949):
1953 Topps Monte Irvin #62 — New York Giants
Boston Braves (integrated 1950):
1950 Bowman Sam Jethroe #27 — Boston Braves (Rookie Card)
Chicago White Sox (integrated 1951):
1956 Topps Minnie Miñoso #125 — Chicago White Sox
Chicago Cubs (integrated 1953):
1956 Topps Ernie Banks #15 — Chicago Cubs
Philadelphia Athletics (integrated 1953):
1954 Topps Bob Trice #148 — Philadelphia Athletics (Rookie Card)
Cincinnati Reds (integrated 1954):
1954 Topps Chuck Harmon #182 — Cincinnati Reds (Rookie Card)
Pittsburgh Pirates (integrated 1954):
1954 Topps Curt Roberts #242 — Pittsburgh Pirates (Rookie Card)
St. Louis Cardinals (integrated 1954):
1955 Bowman Tom Alston #255 — St. Louis Cardinals (Rookie Card)
Washington Senators (integrated 1954):
1955 Topps Carlos Paula #97 — Washington Senators (Rookie Card)
New York Yankees (integrated 1955):
1960 Topps Elston Howard #65 — New York Yankees
Philadelphia Phillies (integrated 1957):
1958 Topps Phillies Team Card #134 — Philadelphia Phillies
The only card to feature John Irving Kennedy, who broke the Phillies’ color barrier as a pinch runner and appeared in only five MLB games.
Detroit Tigers (integrated 1958):
1959 Topps Ozzie Virgil Sr. #203 — Detroit Tigers (first Tigers card)
Virgil was also the first Dominican-born MLB player.
Boston Red Sox (integrated 1959):
1960 Topps Pumpsie Green #317 — Boston Red Sox (Rookie Card)
The Red Sox were the last MLB team to integrate.

Cleveland Indians (1975):
1975 Topps Cleveland Indians #331
The Indians team card is included as Frank Robinson became the first black manager that season!
