January Pickups

RobertC, that is a nice pickup to start the new year. When I got back into collecting about 2 years ago I was amazed at the price of some of the Aaron cards. Are you working on a particular set of Aaron cards or did you just like that card individually?

Anyway the start to my year could not have been any better. Added this 52 Mays and a 39 Ted Williams rookie to my collection. Very pleased with the eye-appeal of both of these cards. I have been looking for close to two years trying to find the perfect 52 Topps Mays card for my Willie run and this one was it.

So jealous on both these cards! Really, really beautiful!

JB67,

That is a really nice 52 Mays as a graded 3.5! Fun finding cards that have nice eye appeal and hopefully a 3.5 price to boot!

JB67 - Those are two really nice cards. As to your question, I'm trying to complete an Aaron run from 1954 to 1976, using PSA's Hank Aaron Master Set as a basic guide. I'm not really doing an actual registry set, since I'm not overly concerned with the grades.

2016 is starting out really well. I've already added two to my Aaron run. Here is the second Aaron that I just picked up. It's a 1969 Braves Birthday Party Stamps sheet. I originally planned to cut it up to get out the two Aaron's, but I did not realize the sheet was small enough to get graded. I think I will just get the whole sheet slabbed.
