October Pickups

I have no problem with paying the premium as well. When you find them centered with the eye-appeal like the 62 Mick and rookie Carlton it is well worth the extra. I added the Aaron late and was very happy to add my first Aaron rookie card to my collection.

JB, trust me: you absolutely KILLED it with that Aaron. And for UNDER VCP? That don't make no sense. That's a card that gets a mad premium at auction. Major score for your collection bro.

Spent a bit more on this than I'd have liked but I did want one for my Aaron collection:



Since I got rid of the slabs and started trying to have fun again I can't resist these 'silver age' Topps HOFers in decent shape when the price is very right:



I don't think I ever had one of these when I was a kid:

Pretty happy with this one....

Nice El Tiante!

Finally after a long search: a nicely centered, tilt-free '52 Topps Mick to pair with the rookie! Thanks Sean1125 for an amazing deal. This is a keeper forever.

Nice cards all. MattyC - always solid eye on those pick ups. jb67 - that Aaron rookie is ridiculous. Very envious.

Mail today today - received a '53 Bowman color Eddie Mathews to (basically - that '52 Topps remains outside my budget; if anyone has one and is looking to deal, please let me know) complete my entire basic Mathews run. Always a favorite of mine and, in my opinion, an extremely overshadowed/undervalued player.

Would love to post my entire run at some point, if anyone would be interested.

On that subject, can anyone recommend a solid scanner for my collection? Nothing too fancy as I would probably just utilize for my cards. If I need to start a different thread, I can.

Thanks

Congrats on the Mick Rookie! Presents much better than the grade.
