I picked up a 1956 Topps (SGC 5) of Jackie Robinson, which is my first Jackie card. I figured since it's 67 years old now that it can retire and join my collection as the new kid.
I also got a John Anderson T206 at PSA 4. I always liked the color scheme on that one. I also have Norwegian ancestry and Anderson is the first, of only three, MLB players to be born in Norway. His card is from when he was with Providence in the minors after his MLB career, and I have a lot of ties and good memories of that city.
Last night I was also looking at a Bill Killifer SGC 7 from the 1915 Cracker Jack series on eBay. It was sitting at around $650 until the last 15 seconds when it jumped to $1613. I expected a last second bounce, but not that much. It won't be in my mailbox any time soon.
