I sort of gave up on finding Josh Hamilton autos for trade and bought 2 on Ebay. One arrived today with my Ryan Howard purchase. I had also talked to a guy about his vintage collection and bought a couple of his cards just because they are super cool to own. (The two 1956 cards) Anyway, this was a fun day, see scans below!















And my new favorite cards I own, just because I am a baseball history nut.....











The Hank Aaron is an UER- the smaller pic is actually Willie Mays, lol!

Overall, a really fun mail day! (Sorry- all PC, just sharing.)

Nice vintage bro! Love the Aaron!

Yeah, I had posted on here earlier today about his collection. That guy had a crazy vintage collection. He had NINE of these Hank Aarons and FOUR of the Jackie Robinsons!

On a side note, for anyone looking- any ideas on what these would grade out to? (Ballpark?) They aren't great, but they're not 1's either.... I am thinking of getting them graded for protection purposes mostly- the 1956 Topps are slightly wider than modern cards and don't fit in penny sleeves or magnetic one-touches......

Nice! I want one!! I sent you an open offer. We just might have to agree on the condition if you're willing to trade. -Mike

I just PM'd you a link to a PSA graded card from the same set. Maybe that's about the grade. PM me back on your thoughts.

Holy jeez those are some nice vintage cards! based on the BV do you think you got a pretty good deal? Either way, nice vintage!

[whodeyalltheway]

If you dont mind sharing what did those cost you? I work at a card shop and we just got in a 55 Robinson in EX-Mint or better, pretty sick card as are yours.

Well, the guy I got them from had absolutely no idea what he had. He was trying to sell his entire collection. I helped him out a bit, but didn't really have the means to buy the whole thing, I was outbid buy a large dealer. Either way, he sold these to me for $100 as a thank you. I picked out my favorite 2. I didn't feel good about taking a Mantle from him, so I took these since he had 4 of the Jackie Robinsons and 9 of the Aarons. I have always wanted vintage cards of these 2, so it was a pretty good day for me!

That GQ Hamilton looks pretty neat......
That Jackie is all sorts of nice. Congrats!

Very nice, the vintage looks in pretty good condition.
