Pickups from a local show.
61 Taylor was $6
63 Tittle in EX+ was only $12
Snead and Nisby were $10 total, which I think is a good price for purple sky SP's.

Getting close to finishing 61, 62, 63 and 67. Checklists are boring but nice to cross off. Tittle was a local guy, so he's always a preferred pickup for me.

I've wanted a Montana rookie since I was a kid, and just never got around to picking one up. Finally found one I liked for a good price recently.

A 6.5 on that. Another example of how many top-notch looking cards out there with those grades anymore lately.

Yeah, it's a sharp card. The vertical centering is poor, but the card is really nice for a 6.5. The corners are good, and there are no wrinkles or surface issues. I was in the market for a while before I got this one, and you wouldn't believe how many have print anomalies on the front. This one presents better than many in higher grades that I saw. I think they just grade extra tough on "key" cards from high pop sets nowadays.

I was finally able to upgrade my Roger Staubach rookie!!

Wow, super nice. That is a really tough card to find centered.

Why did Y. A. Tittle wear his helmet in so many card sets, and often he was the only player in the whole set that wore his helmet ?
Does anybody know ?

Like the '50 RCs, but Love the '51's with the team "championship" logo.

My understanding is that he didn't like the fact that he was bald ...

Thanks for your answer.
He definitely was bald.

Very bald. He could have worn a turtle-neck sweater and gone trick or treating as roll-on deodorant.

Thanks, you've been a great crowd. Enjoy REO Speedwagon.

Picked this one up of Pete Pihos recently on the cheap. Gonna try to get a few more of the old timers throughout the year.
