December Pickups

[robsbessette]

Got a great deal on this puppy. Only need one more for the set! #133 if anyone has one. My whole set is in a binder, should I break this bad boy out? Never done it before, any advice on how to proceed? I'm pretty happy with the card, no real nasty creases, just a tiny paper loss, too bad it's on the front, but for $45 you can't beat that deal!

Nice Kaline RC, Rob, especially for a "2".

Thanks Phil, some back damage to thank for that. I am greateful for it however because it kept the price in my ballpark.

I just might put together a low grade (real low) Nabisco set. And I couldn't resist the ironic miscut Brock

Nice cards, all!

I can't stop buying these '77's. They are like crack.

Neat items Whitey. Wonder when the last time was that Stan wore a hat.

No, but that is one freakin' great lot of items! I love haberdashery premiums: La Salle Hats, Adam Hats, Slidewell and Slim Jim Bowties, Paul Stuart/Parade Sportive, etc., but I've never seen those before. Looks like a full store package.

Robs--All my sets are in binders in their natural state. I have freed up a lot of cards using a bolt cutter. Works quick with two snips at the top. Have never damaged a card

Break it out. It would bug me to death having that in a slab by itself, especially in that technical grade.

Congrats on completing a gem of a set!

These aren’t all from December, but I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post... so here goes the latest additions to my Jackie collection:

Great stuff!!!

The '54 Dan Dee Mickey Mantle was my "Holy Grail" at the beginning of this year. A nice, clean, centered mid-grade copy had eluded me for years. Then, in late Feb. of this year, a beautiful PSA 5 was offered up on eBay by PWCC. I won that auction and the white whale was harpooned! But..... a week ago this puppy showed up on eBay and the insane collector in me couldn't resist. This is not as nice as the one from Feb., but this one was also cheaper. Thanks for not judging, as I'm sure some of you here understand this sickness.

Wow thats a super 5. Congrats

Great card Chuck
