Congratulations! I wish I could afford a '9', but that would just be 'chasing the flip'- and I'll never do that.

Thanks. I wanted a nice one, but with this card it's really the picture that matters. You could pick up a beater and still get the same sense of Sandy coming down hill at you.

I had the picture blown up and framed. I wish I had asked to have the card title included. There are such things out on the 'bay, but they are expensive.

Special to me in particular because it was the first MLB game I can remember seeing on TV.

Veered a little off track from my 60s set quest...fun to do every once in a while -

Sharp Mick there, John. Great color on that one.

Picked these up between mid-December and late January when it became apparent that I wasn’t going to be able to find representative cards of these players as easily as I’d thought while I was putting it off to work on a pre-war project over the last few years. All were brazen FOMO overpays. A couple already seem like reasonable buys, even bargains.

Wow Lucas, beautiful centering on every single one of those. Great pickups!

You suck.
