June 2024 Pickup thread

Hit a show today right after it kicked off, and that early arrival paid off big time, because I was able to grab this beautiful booty before any other cardboard enthusiasts got there grubby little hands on MY cards:

1963 Topps #200 Mickey Mantle SGC 5
This is the same card and grade I picked up a couple of months ago, but I jumped again. The price was right, and before I even got home from the hour long drive on this blistering hot day, its value had surely grown even higher.

1965 Topps #160 Roberto Clemente SGC 6.5
My goodness, this is a sharp looking card!! Not a fan of headshots at all, but something about (with apologies to John Fogerty) this brown eyed, handsome man has always appealed to me. And look at that centering!!

1966 Topps #126 Jim Palmer Rookie Card
I doubled my pleasure with this HOF RC as I negotiated a package deal with the seller. His prices were already good, but I got them at an even more gooder price as a duo...and I haven't a clue why each of these sharp as eff cards 'only' got an SGC 5.5.

'Twas a very good day.

A little newer, but had to post this one. Picked this one up yesterday. Had walked away from it at a show last week and then suffered non-buyers remorse haha. I know the guy so arranged to pick it up at a show yesterday. 1976 Hostess, near complete, missing 12 cards, with another 33 I will upgrade. No way I would have pieced this set together little by little, so a big win as the '70s are my era.

I just picked up 11 of the 13 cards I needed to complete this incredibly rare set. If you're interested in checking them all out I've added them to my website (link in my signature)
