Hey, Ernie. Let's play two!

This arrived today.

I've been working on '56 Topps for a while. A couple years ago, I decided to finish the set by focusing on the biggest stars first. I already had Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson. My next seven pickups were Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Koufax, Williams, Yogi, and Kaline.

Now that I've got Banks, I have (arguably) the ten biggest stars of the set. This was the goal I set for myself in '22 and I'm happy to have gotten here. I'll enjoy this for a little while and then get back to chipping away at the set.
