My Koufax Adventure/Project

[gustomania]

Added a nice OPC to the PC. Only 36 graded with 7 higher but love the look of this one with two HOFers on it

Have been looking for a nicely centered copy for a long time with the lighthouse case, glad to have this one off the checklist

Been a while to find something I liked but found a real nice 1962 Koufax… I know some don’t like these borders but I really seem to like this set.

You're doing this the right way. taking the time to add some really nice looking cards. Your patience paid off with the '62 - Sharp!

Just curious, do you have or are you interested in a Koufax autograph? I'm not a huge fan of inked cards, but I wouldn't mind have something signed from him.

Thanks Vegas, I don’t think so, I’m really not a fan of any inked cards to be honest!

I really enjoy collecting his topps cards from 55-67 counting leader cards and narrows my focus. This collecting style isn’t for everyone but allows me to really focus on real nice examples of approx 30 cards to choose from. It’s also easier on the wallet and I don’t get side tracked with stuff I don’t want and I like duplicates.

I’ve learned my lessons in the past and I’m really just a simple collector and buy 1-2 cards per month. I’d like to see where I’m after 5 years of collecting Koufax.

Been a while and struggled to find this one in a PSA 8 with a decent price.

So decided to grab a mid grade raw copy for a fraction of the price. This brings me back to my youth days of collecting and what I'm noticing is I'm less concerned about centering and more into just enjoying the card itself. So those that follow this thread I'm guessing I'm going to continue picking up a mix of raw and graded and continue to explore having fun.

So while this isnt a huge pickup or anything, it was sort of my test run on a cheap raw card and i'm really happy with the result

Love this card! 60s/70s leader cards are really under appreciated with all the attention heaped on RCs. Talk about bang for the buck with this one….3 HOFers for the price of one! Look forward to seeing more of these.
