January Pickups

3 new ones. I like the ZeeNuts where you can see the front of the jersey. The Otey is downgraded for an erased pencil mark on back. Charlie Duke, the 10th of 12 men to walk on the moon. Those guys are REAL heroes to me. My only post war card unless I get the other 2 moonwalkers from that set (Mitchell & Aldrin).

For sheer cojones per capita there aren't braver men than the ones who were willing to sit on top of a rocket then fly a quarter of a billion miles through space each way in a vehicle with the computer power of an old lap top to guide them, and then step onto the surface of an unknown environment where one misstep = death.

Here's a neat cabinet photo I just snagged. What I wouldn't give for that big circular shaped Piedmont box display in the back ground. Looks to be some sort of convention. The Piedmont banner runs the entire length of both booths. Cabinet measures out at 12 x 14.

Thanks Pete. If a time machine existed this is no doubt an event I'd like to visit.

My January Keeler pick up! Not really pre-war but kinda cool.

Not a card but my first magazine from my subscription. Something that will actually get me to read something. Thanks to Leon for the heads up on this should be a good read.
