November Pick-Ups

[DeanH3]

Nice picks ups all. Especially the signed Aaron rookie. Awesome card Ian. This one arrived today. I'm very pleased to add a tough early Mantle.

For my fellow 1972 enthusiasts, this is one of the top 5 hardest cards from that set to find centered. I'm not into graded cards, but it's near impossible to locate one, so I grabbed this guy up the second I saw it!!

Really beautiful example. I think the Aaron In Action must be in that same Top 5!

Nice card Dean! Those cards are a little hard to find without potato chip stains on them. Congrats, you had to be stoked!!!!

That Dan-Dee Mick is incredible!

Thanks guys. Definitely one of my favorites!

No, they aren't the highest technical grades I have ever purchased, but these have pretty decent eye appeal and the price was right. Thanks to fellow board member Steve Wilk for the Clemente.

Nice cards. The good thing about 56's is that with the oversize design and color pop that most of them have, you can find a bunch of cards that still display great in VG-ish condition. Personally I'm suspicious of most cards that old without at least a little patina on them.

Thanks, John. Yeah, some sets still display well even in Vg-VGEX condition. '56 Topps is one of those sets. I also really like '53 Bowman Color but won't collect it because the prices I am willing to pay would result in cards that IMHO just don't display well.

Wow that Banks has incredible eye-appeal. Love that Bench as well. Some great cards as usual this month!

Here's my addition. I had previously owned 2 '54 Topps Gray Back Jackie Robinson cards in the past, and sold them off - and very much regretted doing so. Wasn't sure when I'd see one again at a reasonable price (707 has a PSA6ST for $2500). Thankfully, Heritage failed to indicate in the auction title or description that the '54 Topps was actually the MUCH tougher Gray Back version. The picture pack card (highest graded) was an added bonus.
