December pickups

Great job on that Stan 53B. One of my favorite baseball cards. Charming image and color hues.

Thanks, Matt. That Musial is one of my top gotta have post war cards. I have enjoyed looking at your recent pick ups. That Ryan was a good buy!

While engaged in conversation with my co-worker, I mentioned to him that I am putting together a 1968 Topps set and only need two cards; Bench and Ryan rookie cards. My co-worker doesn't collect cards but he said that he has a Bench rookie that he won in a grab bag back in the early 1980's. Today he brought in the Bench card and gave it to me! He wouldn't take any money nor let me buy him lunch. Too cool!!

That's funny, in the other thread where you mentioned the '53 Bowman Mantle, I just posted the Musial was the first big card I wanted from the set. That's a real beauty you have. The centering is great, and that's been the sticking point the few times I've almost pulled the trigger.

Bill, I need to buy a Mantle, and you need a Musial. Maybe Santa will help us. Good luck with the hunt!
