Default March pick up thread

It’s not often I can swing a multiple-card mailday anymore, but that’s what happened today with the arrival of these three from evilBay. Bonus: what I thought was a white print mark there below Ernie’s chin must have been a scanner issue, was not there on the card when I opened it, and it is gorgeous. The Carlton I have always thought is a super undervalued card - issued in his greatest season, and commemorative of one of the most famous lopsided trades in the history of the game. I’d assert it’s his most important card other than his rookie. Sorry the Ripken does not technically fit our timeframe, but it’s an upgrade to another copy I had recently bought before I noticed that it had edge wear. Also on this one, I learned to look for no annoying yellow print marks in the grass. 8’s can still have them...but this one doesn’t.
