I had forgotten that store! They even sold cards there; a small selection. Grandma bought me a 1987 Topps Traded Set there.
1987 Topps Traded Kevin Seitzer. Does it get any better than that card?!

GREAT Clemente card...I am in the market and seeing that makes me VERY jealous...VERY. I have been so fricken picky and wussy about it...that I gave myself a 3/1 deadnet date. If I don't have one in hand by 3/1, I told my wife to fine me out of my card budget...and she will....hahaha...its the last card I need for the set for crying out loud!

John,
Finding a centered Clemente RC is no small task. I can't count how many I've seen over the years, and none-- unless it was an astronomically priced 8 or 9, and even those were occasional-- compelled me to pull the trigger. Only when I found my baby, pictured way above in this thread (or was it December pickups? Ah, whatever, I will post a pic again at bottom of this post) did I just know I had to pull the trigger. And it seems that we all "overpay" when we find our chosen Clemente RCs. Which makes me realize and believe it is not overpaying at all, but rather paying a deserved premium for an example of a card that is ROUTINELY found with eye appeal problems. So do not fret. It will happen. Now, as to those rookies... I was bullish on: Gary Thurman 88D Rated Rookie Matt Williams 88F (I guess that one turned out well) Gregg Jefferies OF COURSE. His 88D and F were huge cards. Mike Greenwell. Kevin Maas. Danny Tartabull 1985D Rated Rookie Ted Higuera Chris Brown Rob Deer RICKY JORDAN!!!! The list goes on. Like Chris did, here's the one I "overpaid" for! Look forward to you joining the club soon!

Ah, Nokes. Remember that season he had? Like .290 with 30+ HR? Seemed he could no go wrong.
Olereud seemed scorching hot and he did become awesome, but maybe not fast enough for the hobby.

Steve with the Maris RC, Bob with the sharp Hodges, Chris with the Roberrrrrrto! and Matt with the sweet Rose... closing out January about as good as it started! Nice!
Looking forward to the new arrival, Matt. Nice teaser.... |

As promised...
Well, I warmed up the scanner by taking a proper one of the Ruth Goudey. Here it is. Those of you who know my degree of borderline OCD know I could not let the crooked scan stand...
