September Pickups!

[ZiggerZagger]

Been a good month, with some Prewar cards, but also some good solid Postwar/Modern stuff too.
Thanks to fellow Net54'ers for some of these pickups, with the rest mostly via eBay.

Really pleased with the centering on the Jordan and Gretzky rookies, both of which can be tough.

A good solid month looking back

Holy Cow you have an amazing eye, sir. Would be remiss not to cite that MJ on its own; the Jordan is impossible to find like that and looks like an 8 as well. Bravo!

All great looking cards. The Gretzky rookie is one I've been wanting to add for a while. It will be my first and only hockey card, much like the MJ is my only basketball card. Can't go wrong with those two.

Jesse--

That is exactly my philosophy as well. My focus will always be on vintage baseball, but the idea of having the truly key cards from other sports in my collection is attractive, too.

On the Gretzky, I'm very glad I picked up the Topps version as opposed to the OPC -- In no parallel universe could I justify spending 3x more for the card, just to have the Canadian version. To each his own though.

And I definitely don't want to start a debate on the relative merits of Canadian cardboard...
