April Pickups...

I actually got this card in March, but just received it back from PSA yesterday. It was part of a raw, near-complete '54 set I bought locally from the original owner who pulled them from packs as a kid. The Yankees cards were all pretty beat, as he grew up a Yankees fan. Luckily, he didn't care much about the Braves, so this one was well preserved. I let go of a better centered example of this card, simply because I like knowing where the card came from more. This one is staying in my PC for the long-term. Fortunately, I think PSA assigned the right grade to this one, as they've hammered me on my past couple of submissions.

Great card Jarrod. Knowing the story behind the card is one of the best things about the hobby. Fantastic!

Very nice, Jarrod.

Nice pick ups!

Like Jarrod mentioned, that price on Minoso is well dated as this card has really increased as of late.

What a great image. I love the Dodger Blue on the sleeves and lettering.

I agree, such a great image.

And 5 more additions to my 52 Topps high numbers.
Down to 26 now.
The Rossi is a somewhat rougher card than I usually go for but I didn't think my low CDN bid would actually win it, but then again, maybe I overpaid?
