January pickups

The 1961 White Sox team card on the right is the extremely rare variation where no yellow appears in the logo. Love it!! But the jewel of my month BY FAR is the Mr. Barton In Action on the left. For anyone who collects the '72 Topps set, this card is literally as close to impossible to find centered as you can possibly get. It was the card under the Willie Mays IA card on the printing sheet and both are always found miscut way to the left every time you see them. I am ecstatic to now have this frickin' beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kudos on the 1972 pickups! I remember last year trying to find a 1972 Hank Aaron in action that wasn't horribly off center. I nearly had to bite the bullet and go with O-Pee-Chee...luckily I found one eventually, but it was a struggle.

I would love to undertake completing an entirely 'perfectly centered' set. man, that would be tough. There are quite a few cards on my list that I have never seen centered. Never!

Finally picked up an elusive card for my 1953 set. Now I'm down to just two cards to complete the 1953 set (Mantle and Podres)
