Guys, This is one of those weeks, everything hits me all at one time.
Earlier i got the Nolan Ryan RC, then just yesterday i got the Milton Bradley version of it.
Saying that i would of gotten a Mays RC before them. WELL.....
ITS ONE OF THOSE WEEKS
I had no idea my bid was even strong enough at the time, it held up for several days on end and i was maxed out...thinking yeah i getting a email saying outbidded.
Woke up today and found an invoice instead.

MAYS 51 Bowman RC ....Holy Donkey Shitz!!
I know its off-centered, but i got it more for its vibrant color and none of those print lines.

Dude, you just won the month!! I don't think even the great MattyC can overtake you at this point.

That is a pretty impressive week. Very nice looking Mays. That one is on the very short list of cards I'm looking to pick up some time soon.

Funny, I never knew it was a competition.

Pretty sure it was meant in jest; our boy Chris had the kind of month every collector dreams of with Nolans and the Mays. Browsing all the cards in this thread is a real treat. So many absolute jewels. How rare is it just to see examples like that Musial and Maris or that 52 Mick with such centering! That 56 card that looks like a 10. Milton Bradley trophy cup Carew! Venezuelan Mick, Torre RC, that Bowman Furillo (my late grandfather's favorite), a centered Aaron RC, Aaron HR Derby! That Herb Score 61 that looks Gem, a Wilson Franks, that Al Oliver Auto, that 62 Clemente, the best centered 63 Mick ever, that quad shot with freak centered 58 Mays and 67 Rose, that yellow 58 Ted, the Bowman 50 Ted that is a 5 in a 2 holder-- and that's just what I remember from this month off the cuff LOL.

What an unbelievable month to be a card lover and be on this thread. This is really the nexus and epicenter of cards online. To be able to see all that stuff here in one place in ANY condition, that's really special. It's easy to forget that day to day. But looking back at how choice each example is, looking so much better than the tech grade-- just DAMN! Now I got the fever and gotta scour the bay!

I commented on this in an earlier post but I too took it as a joke. I don't think anyone feels this is a competition, just a place to share cards we're excited about picking up.

As the original poster of the "you won the month!" comment, I can attest that there is no formal competition here. We all get the win by sharing our collecting experiences.
