January Pickups

I know this is past 1980, but...

Reasonable buy it now so could not pass it up.

Matty beat me to it but still trying to go for the Mantle base run. Found this 57 Topps on eBay and it was perfect for me. I am not focusing on grades or registry, just solid eye appeal. The color and centering on this one blew me away, enough so that I could overlook the creases.

After adding the 51 Bowman, my set is on a tight budget so this was as a great bargain add.

These all came in over the last few weeks.

Great card, Greg. I saw that on ebay and was very tempted to buy it myself!

I have heard the 69 Brock is a beast to find in good condition-- I think 69s in general are just a brutal set in that regard. Maybe card for card one of the toughest sets with tilt and centering issues.

Very nice, guys... from Ian's Duke to Matt's Henderson to Jason's Rose RC to Greg's new Mantle to the slew of cardboard Matt C has been picking up and everything in between... WOW! (lovin' that Clemente rookie, Matt!)

It's all good, fellas, ALL good!

[GregC]

Ok, last pick up for January. Saw this one on ebay and had to have it. Hits the eye so much better than the grade.

Any 52T 311 addition is a momentous event for a collector!

56 is my favorite set of that decade on sheer design, color, images. Well centered Ernie; a whole set with that eye appeal is a huge achievement!
