Like always keep posting and I'll keep watching but I'm starting to hate you a bit (just kidding).

Good luck,

Ps...you aren't going to start a 59 topps set next, are ya???

haha, I promise I'm not trying to copy you I guess we just have similar tastes! And to answer your question, no I'm not planning on the '59 Topps set... (atleast not yet, haha). Infact the next one I have my eye on once I've wrapped up one of my current ones is probably going to be either the '53 Topps or maybe the '54 Bowman

Eddie Waitkus, the player "The Natural" was based on. Errrr, at least the part about being shot by a unstable female.

another big thanks to the 2 Net54 members who hooked me up with these and got me a solid start on my latest project! New pickups to follow!

[VinTX]

so I decided to go do a little shop-hoppin trip on Monday and visit some of the card shops here in town to see if they had any stuff I needed for a couple of the sets I'm working on. And indeed they did, I picked up about 15 new cards for the '52 Bowman set! Some I bought, some I did some trading on, all in all I got some pretty good deals! Also got a few on ebay over the weekend

Here are my latest pickups!
