August Pickups

[the 'stache]

I'm working on doing some custom cards, so I needed to pick up a few cards for scans. I found a nice Don Money 1974 Topps that fit my needs nicely, and while looking for that, I found this nice Ernie Banks for $20.



My dad was a big Cubs fan, and loved Ernie Banks growing up. So, I thought I'd pick this up to pique his curiosity about the hobby. Here's hoping he'll get a little more interested. Regardless, I got a nice EXMT+ Banks. Until I add his rookie, and a few of his graded cards, this will tide me over. I like this card quite a lot. I happen to really like Ernie Banks, too. You'll be hard pressed to find anybody who loved the game more than he does.

"Let's play two!"

Indeed, Mr. Cub. Indeed!

Nice cards, Steve. I must say that I do like getting unslabbed cards.

Love the '68 Banks, your dad will love it! Next opportunity take him to a show, our older dad's who aren't into the hobby, like seeing the cards in person, he may get hooked seeing Mr. Cub smiling back at him!

Banks has some gorgeous cards. One day hope to add a nice low grade RC of his with solid centering.

Found this awesome centered Ted on ebay last night; hits the eye better than some 8s. The Mick is sitting crooked in holder but when tapped down will be perfectly centered, and a step closer to the complete Mick run...
