Two sources for the star cards in my sets.... a dealer I’ve been friends with who runs a monthly show and eBay as graded and then broken out to go in set binder.

I acquired a number of great cards back in the early 1970s from the great Gar Miller. One of the cards I got from was a 1953 Mickey Mantle.

These days, it's all about the saved searches on ebay for me. The few shows happening around here each year are a great opportunity to inhale the awesome aroma of musty cardboard while chatting up other collectors, but the pricing of star cards is always unnerving, so I usually just walk away with lesser things of interest. So, I check ebay often, and if something pops up that's too great to pass on, I jump on it!
