I am now on the highway to the poorhouse, but, man, did I pick up some good stuff today at a large show in Northern California where masks weren't required. It felt incredible breathing in the freedom after so long (if your idea of 'freedom' is the musty smell of hundreds of overweight guys mixed in with stale mall air), so I went on a spending spree. It seemed most of the graded stuff (usually PSA 3s and 4s) was priced so far into the ionosphere it would give Captain Kirk a nosebleed, so I focused on serious ungraded cards and was able to strike some pretty decent deals. The pair of Benches are particularly beautiful, and the 1971 Reggie, Pete Rose and Thurman Munson are seriously stunning in hand (large scans always make 'em look worse). Holy crap am I psyched!!!




And also grabbed up a trio of sharp-cornered 1966/1967 high numbers...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
