November pickups

I am a Cardinals and Gibson fan, even though at age 9 when I first got this card I had no idea who he was...and he had lousy stat on the back. My personal favorite is his 60 card...but he still had lousy stats. I wonder if whoever picked pink for his 59 card lived long enough to see the irony in it. Except for this card, who would ever think pink in the same thought with Bob Gibson

Nice card Carl

One of my favorite Ruths but I got carried away last month and got an unopened pack. I also picked up an empty wax box to go along with. A complete set would be nice in the future.

Indeed....the entire card - with the friendly smile - is a sharp contradiction to what you got from Bob on the field. Thanks, Al!

Just arrived today in the mail SGC 45 Rookie Aaron. I cannot believe the richness of color on this card given the grade. My second Aaron rookie in the past month. Was not looking for one but when I saw this one I had to go for it. Now I have to decide which one to keep.

Recent rookie card pickups. I think all except one was from an N54 board member.

Dan those are very nice. Some serious eye candy with the centering on all of those.

I have to imagine whatever kid pulled that from a pack 60 years ago was saying, "Never heard of this guy!" Who would have believed just 20 years later the player on this card would break baseball's greatest record!

Here was the All-Time Home Runs leaderboard going into the 1954 season--the 500 Club had only three members! And unless you go back a long, long ways as a fan, I think #5 will shock you!

1. Babe Ruth - 714
2. Jimmie Foxx - 534
3. Mel Ott - 511
4. Lou Gehrig - 493
5. Joe DiMaggio - 361

Wow, how long ago that was. 10 points if you can name the only three players in the history of the National League besides Mel Ott to have attained 300 HR by the start of the 1954 season.

Stan Musial? Still trying to figure out the other ones.
