I have been watching this series of 72 Tim Cullen PPs on eBay for a very long time. They came into a good range for me to pull the trigger on a couple of weeks ago and now I have them in my PC. WooT!!!

These were part of the Guernsey's Topps Archive Auction a long time ago. It is interesting to me that the SGC flip is in silver and not the normal green. Not sure if that means anything to anyone, I just thought it interesting. Anyway, thanks to Jeff W. I have these now.

And they will be removed from their encapsulation and added to the binder. That is how I roll........

And I forgot to mention, Tim Cullen, Senator, so score on that part too. I only wish Topps would not have airbrushed his hat for these PP's.

Really like the progressive proofs. Jeff W., on eBay, had some ‘75 Topps Brooks proofs, but I just couldn’t afford and someone else picked them up. I collect Brooks so I try to pick up things related and proofs fit the bill; they just hardly ever show up and when they do it’s typically out of my price range.

What gets me is that currently SGC will not put “progressive proof”. Why? Who knows.

Nice Banks John!!! Beats my 1.5...

And yes...I too have a house keeper, but highly doubt she knows or cares...but...frankly the sheet they took over everything else either shows they have no idea...or smart cause they took something that may not be noticed. Anyhow...almost have now received the page back...they are now trickling in...

Sweet '56 Clemente. One of the coolest cards out there IMO.
