Finally was able to have a card show adventure and picked up just a few awfully cool things...
Never owned a 1963 Fleer Wills Rookie before, so this is a first for me. Got a nice price on the tough 1957 Topps #272 semi-high (and being a Yankee always adds a premium to it) Bobby Shantz. And my complete absorption with the 1972 Topps set continues, as I added a pair of the sweetest looking (and incredibly well centered) Willie Mays and Carlton Fisk Rookie cards I have seen in quite a long time. pickupsmay2025maysfisk1972shantz1957willsfleer1963nettlesRCvarsm.jpg And saved for last on my way out the door, I chatted up a guy who was readying to pack up his table and he was kind enough to give me a sweet deal on this Mick... 1962MantleSwitchHitter318SGC5sm.jpg I told him, "If you get a chance to buy a Mantle (at a decent price), you buy the Mantle." He wholeheartedly agreed!

May Pick Up Thread
Nice 72's, Jolly. I remain infatuated with that set as well.
Went to not one, but 2 local card shows all within 30 mins driving distance yesterday - and believe it or not, had an option to do a THIRD, had I been willing to drive another hour. I digress, but let's just say this hobby of ours is alive and well... Here's the highlights. "Authentic - Miscut" - er, ok but I'll take that all day long. Yogi clearly has some diamond cut or something going on, but is centered beautifully and otherwise I'm guessing would be a 3 or better.
