November Pick-Ups

[JollyElm]

Not exactly on par with some of the awesome cards being trotted out lately, but I picked up my second decently-centered '72 Mays 'In Action' this month and the Gibson isn't in what you would call great shape (rounded corners with staple holes at bottom), but a really tough 1962 HOF high number? I'll take it any day of the week!!!!!!!

Darren, some nice pickups. No question it is hard to find centered 72's of Willie in action. No doubt a great price on the Gibson. I have a Johnny Bench "In Action" on the way that has pretty good centering. I have been looking for a long time to find one and can't wait to get it in hand.

It's funny. Topps seemingly released 8 billion cards in 1972, so the Quality Control Department never had any time to ensure anything left the factory centered, especially Willie Mays, Johnny Bench and Hank Aaron "In Action" cards.

Okay, I might not have the most impressive November pickup, but I may well have the last November pickup!

Some of you may know I've decided to expand my "Top 50" display to "Top 100." This took me from needing only two cards (Ruth, Gehrig!) to needing 34! Well, the good news was that many of the ones I needed could be had in decent shape for very little. And the bad news is that I still need the Ruth and Gehrig!
