November Pick-Ups

2 recent pick ups.

Found Ken Holcombe, which had a very small E-Bay picture, but the price was very cheap so I took a chance. Glad I did as the card, other than being OC, is in really nice shape!

And, really happy to say I now own a Bob Feller card!
I had tried and tried to obtain a Spahn, Ashburn and Feller (in my price/condition range) but all 3 were eluding me.

Found my Spahn and Ashburn for great prices, especially since they were already slabbed, then happened upon this Feller, and seen that it was actually on sale!
I didn't hesitate to purchase it and found out, since I thought I recognized the name, it belonged to Smanzari, who is a member on here!

Thanks again, Stefan!

Pretty stoked to own this card!

...Just received the solo portrait card of Mickey...difficult to find centered , as is every other damn Topps from the fifties...

..starting to like this set but there's too many to attempt a "complete"...

Nice 52s Irv ! Love the 59s Mike the trills subset is probably my favorite vintage subset.

Irv-- since you are into 52 variants some 52 collectors and variant lists include the Feller as having two versions, one with the slats highly visible, and one with them gone or virtually missing

I've been looking for a nicely centered one for ages:

Steve-- the top one is rarer if only because it is an unopened pack . I have at least one with each set

Just received my Aaron clubs a WS homer card today. I just recently seen this card, (within the last 2 weeks) and once I did, I had to have one!

Thanks Al.

I have heard/read about the Feller variants but never really looked into them before.
I assume one isn't more rare/worth more than the other, or is that maybe the reason why I was getting waaay outbid on some of his cards?

Picked this up raw a couple of months ago for a hell of a deal at a local card show. Just received back from PSA, I'm very Happy with the grade :-)

I suppose that includes a '52 unopened pack?

Al, I know you and a handful of others here on the board have amazing collections!!!
