March Pickups

[ValKehl]

I have always felt that the 1955 Bowmans were neat looking cards, second only among the Bowmans to the 1953s. Perhaps this is because my three most favorite Wash. Senators - Runnels, Vernon & Yost - when I was a kid were in the 1955 Bowman set, but not the 1955 Topps set! Also, 1955 was about the time my folks first got a TV, which probably influenced my liking the design!

Picked up 2 HOFs this month.

Just arrived yesterday. Down to 6 for the set. As I've put the '61's together I've really started to like the set more and more despite the non descript design and abundance of boring hatless portraits! This one however is one of my favorites in the set.

That is a great looking Aaron. I am thinking of doing an Aaron Topps run and this is pushing me to do it.

Alex,

I finished the Aaron a topps run last year and I encourage you to go for it. Lots of nice cards and, with the exception of his 54 RC, they are not very expensive.

The price is what attracted me. I don't know of a comparable player with such affordable cards.

Super excited to add these two...

(1) 1975 Cleveland Indians Postcards Update - Eckersley
(2) 1977 Orioles Team Issue PC - Murray

Nice Aaron! Congrats on nearing completion of the set.

Far from Earth shattering, but I picked up these HOF'ers at a show today. The two Babe Ruths and the Ron Santo are green tints, the '61 Mathewson is an SP and the Stengel is one of my all time favorite cards.

I could not resist this off-registration 1964 Venezuelan, even though it makes me a little dizzy looking at it:

Darren, love these cards! I just want to pick them up, and hold 'em in my hands!

It's funny, I find myself swinging back to ra...er, ungraded vintage. Oh, I'll still get the high end cards for my collection, but I want to collect cards, too, that I can hold in my hands, and stick in a binder. I look at these beauties you just got, and I'm inspired.

I have one 55 Bowman, Hank Aaron. I am not a huge fan of the design but some of the photos are great, especially the Aaron
