In case you didn't know, (as I was also told), this card is the only one that has Clemente, Mays and Hank together on one card.

That's a good one. I don't have that one yet...but it'll be an awesome one to acquire at some point!

Now you’re getting vintage Pirates photos at a model train show? Lucky Larry you are aptly named!!!

Another exciting add from the '56 Topps set. I am really happy with the eye appeal here for a "4".

I don't follow them religiously but based on what I have seen, the price of them has been in a steady upward trend lately so don't leave it too long.

Picked up a couple reasonably priced mid-grade copies of classic cards from the '70s. Auction wins from Collector Connection.

(and yes, a cat hair wound up on my scanner...it happens)

Yeah, just looked what they've been going for...pretty impressive prices in high grade for sure.

Yeah, it's been pretty surprising what some have gone for lately.
I remember when I got mine, (when collecting 52 Topps was slow) they weren't very popular but that didn't stop me, as like I mentioned, I liked them, plus it filled a void.
Not sure what it is but lately I've noticed a lot of them gaining in popularity.
None of mine are gradable, imo, but trying to save money awaiting for more 52's to pop up, I was fine with that.

I like leader cards so much, I wrote an article about them.

I look back at PSA 7 graded copies I bought back in say 2016-2018, and the prices were so insanely low compared to today. I was paying less than $20 each for a lot of them back then. Some of the same cards are going for $75 now.
