July Pickups

[herbc]

Just plucked these two from my mailbox. I now have the three VIP party signers covered. I know the Topps is not pre-1980, I just wanted to post the three cards together.

1986 Topps Traded


1965-66 Coca Cola


This one received earlier completes the three.

1971 Dodgers Postcard

MITCH f**king Williams, ala Bucky f**king Dent???

as a longtime (suffering) Phillies fan, I actually sent Mitch a sympathy card (c/o the Phillies in the winter of 1993, offering my *sincere* condolences on serving up that game/series winning home run) - I felt bad for Williams, and sat SPEECHLESS in my antique barber chair as I watched the *devastating* conclusion to that game vs the Blue Jays, but I felt horrible for him - AND myself, and suffering Phillies fans everywhere - after the "unreal" became REAL - dude got death threats, and while he DID f**k up, guy had 43 saves, and Fregosi went with what got him there...hindsight is 20/20, but...such is life.

thanks for the inclusion of Mitch, herbc, as while it WAS a dark moment for this Phillies fan, it was a reminder that LIFE - and baseball - isn't always perfect, or predictable, another reason I *love* this game.

Outstanding!!! I am at about 20 cards for 59F Ted Williams but have never pursued due to that one card. Well done. Really well done.

This is what happens when I exit collecting for 20 years. Enter grading companies to call a 6(!) what I would have seen marked as Mint at a 90s card show (or perhaps eBay today).
