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.

I feel a little foolish about the price I had to pay for this card, in PSA 1 yet. But it finally completes the set I've been working on for several years.
I've got to believe this #37 is a short print because it is rarely offered and, when it is, it sells for several multiples of other commons.
Glad I got the Chuck Connors and Lasorda cards early because they've gotten pricey.

Thanks John.

As Larry said, push your fear aside and go for it.
If you are looking to get started, I have for a few less than VG creased/wrinkled cards plus some others in pretty decent shape if you are ever interested?

Good luck with the rest of your 60's set collecting. Those are looking good so far!

Just got this Jackie in the mail today. Getting closer on my 54 set. It is in a screw down so sorry for glare. It actually looks better in person.

Thanks Irv, I will file that for one day soon. Envelopes once again arriving daily...man I missed set collecting. Down to 4 more for the 1960's...Clemente showed up yesterday...Hank & Frank today (with a nice little chunk of 1963 highs commons) -

Good looking cards everyone! Keep up the good work.

Sometimes looks are the only things that attract my attention. Was the case with the Hogue. I took a gamble on it - was described as "very good" and this is what showed up in the mail. Colors on this card, and a few others in this series (thinking about Elmer Valo and others) are pretty awesome, at least to me. I've always liked it and happy I have clean example now (as we know many from this era are diiiiiiiiirty).

And the lesser discussed Minoso rookie. Dude was a beast hitter right through the 50s. Found it in great shape so I snagged it.
