These aren't new pickups per se, but they are some of the highlights of the first pile of cards I ever submitted for grading. Since they arrived today, I am considering them December pickups...
The Kaline is the cool Band Aid variation.

Attended my first card show in years today, and was able to knock a few classics off my list for a reasonable price. I've wanted that Rickey rookie since I was in Little League, and I had the 69T Brooks when I was a kid, but foolishly traded it for a Piazza rookie card. Derp. I snagged a 67T Yaz because that was his triple crown year, and I'm trying to collect the main card from each player's triple crown year. Sadly, no one there had a 66T Frank Robinson.
I've been a Tigers fan since I could crawl, and while the 78 Topps rookie cards of 3 of my all time favorite players leave something to be desired aesthetically, it's nice to finally own them. |

Do you know about the 1978 Topps Burger King versions of those three RCs? Definitely worth looking out for also!

No I didn't. Interesting. Just looked it up; apparently, they issued 22 card team sets for the Astros, Rangers, Tigers and Yankees. Great....another subset to collect. Hahahaha

Have been on a rough budget, hence major collecting drought, these past several months. Still, N54 smiled on me this past Thursday when two members sent great stuff my way for free!
Thanks to Snapolit1 for the Wheaties panels of two of my favorite 1930s players, Mel Ott and Lefty Grove, and to EYECOLLECTVINTAGE for the Dr. K signed Baseball Digest and jumbo card. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Haven't posted in a while. These are some cards that I have picked up in the last few months. The All-Star is trimmed and rough, but it is a Topps Venezuela and one of the last two Venezuela cards that I need. The Magic Ruboff is for my Braves & Brewers logo cards for Hank's playing days.

I recently just finished purchasing my wife a new car so money has been rather thin lately to say the least. Once purchased, I needed a few things like snow tires and rims, windows tinted, Husky floor liners, mud flaps, and to get it rustproofed. I plan on keeping this car a long time so I got an oil/filter change and managed to get a coat of wax on it before the snow flew. That aside, I did manage to bid on a few cards tonight but got my butt promptly kicked! Hopefully after Christmas, if Santa is good to me, I can get back to bidding more frequently?

I have seen several references to an orange background version of the 52 Crandall. Does anyone have one they can post ?

4 more '52s down and a couple of '71 upgrades. I wish Topps had laid out the McLain better; the team name not being centered over the photo always makes it look wrong. Find a centered team name and the photo is off; find a centered photo and the name is off. Always wondered how the grading companies assess centering on this card.
The '71s are PSA 7s; Russel and Erautt are PSA 5s; Sain (correct bio) is a PSA 4.

Ever have a card that on the surface shouldn’t really qualify as anything special, but for some reason absolutely captivates you? For me this is it. Probably because this was one of the first old cards I got my hands on as a kid back in the late 1980’s. No, the ‘54 Bowman set is not going to win any accolades for design among it’s peers, and all things considered this is not exactly the best likeness in the world of Campy - who looks like he was just made to run with the pitchers and is now considering whether or not he needs to go throw up. I don’t know though, there is something about the colors on this one and that hat - is it a beanie? Is it an early batting helmet...? I don’t know, just always been intriguing to me. Was glad to pick this one up still in great shape and fairly cheap. Happy Holidays! -John Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is a batting helmet. The original photo matches but the artist who did the Flexichrome did a bad job of shading and the foreshortening effect is messed up. I love clean 54 Bowmans. Nice card.

Thanks. I did find this pic online. Looks like they also took some airbrushing liberty with the "B". And is this a hat or a helmet? Seeing the B&W picture I'm not sure...
