December pickups

Nice, Chris! Pistol Pete, and the Great One. I, too, will be doing some of that. I want to add Wayne's rookie, as well as Lemieux, Bobby Orr, Bobby Hull, Rocket Richard, etc. I wan to add Wilt, Magic and Bird, MJ, the great hoopsters.

But baseball and football will dominate my collection, with baseball clearly at the top of the mountain.

Just two more adds this week. Nothing special, but a baby step closer to the finish line.



The Robinson I thought might be trimmed. Don't ask me why, I mean, who trims a 1975 Frank Robinson? It's a shade light left to right (about 2 pixels of 250). But it's about 3 pixels too deep top to bottom. And no signs of trimming.

It will do until I get a PSA graded. I love the centering, so it's a good temporary.

Thanks! I am a huge baseball fan, but I thought it would be nice to go for a four sport theme to my collection. I picked up some game used items from every major sports, and I figured I'd try to get at least one iconic rookie from each as well. Now I just need to find an affordable Namath to round things out.

Love the set you are working on. Gorgeous cards.

Nice pickups everyone....haven't been getting too much worth posting lately, but pretty happy with this one...the scratches are on the case, not the card itself....

My first graded pickup for my 1959 set, hoping for all HOF'ers in PSA 6 or above
