A recent addition to my 52 Topps set.
I was lucky enough to find this one from a CDN seller where I didn't have to pay for the exchange rate, the import duty nor the crazy shipping fees.

Not in the greatest condition, obviously, but this is a card I personally didn't think I'd ever own as it is a highly sought after high number from the 52 Topps set that usually commands a premium.

As always Dale, great looking p/u of a notoriously tough Hi#.

Used my holiday gift money (all of it+ ebay bucks etc) to pick up Hoyt's RC...leaves me just two shy (Campy and Nuxhall) of completing this post war beast.

Thanks, SFMS.

That's a great looking Wilhelm.
Congrats!

Wilhelm is also one I need, along with a Campy myself. Fingers crossed it happens someday.

Went off the reservation into the non-sports arena for this 1953 Topps issue.

Took a break from cards over the last year a bit...picked up a few here and there...but spent most of my time working on my car collection as it was something I could physically do during COVID shut downs. Got the bug back around Xmas when my wife surprised me with a few cards, wasn't expecting that! Anyhow...just got these...needed 45, now quickly down to 5...excited to finish the 1960 Topps set...again...lol. The McCovey is a little OC, but fits my standards with corners like that. The others came in one day...love good mail days!

Thank you John, good looking 60s you picked up... as you can see on the post-war board, seems like there are many who have decided to take the plunge and build this set. Push your fear aside and just go for it, the excitement of reaching each milestone outweighs any fear.
