May Pickups

[MattyC]

Late to the already impressive May jam, but bringing some good liquor...

Pic is of Ted signing that same actual card. I am never one for autos but the insane provenance of this one just really moved me. Should be in hand soon. Beyond grateful to the gentleman who made it possible. Plus some nice buns in the BG!

Took a couple of months off buying cards in order to take the family to Disney World. Also sold a couple of really nice sets on here that funded the entire trip. My wife will never curse my baseball card hobby collection again. LOL

Any way..........picked up this '58 Topps WS Batting Foes card to ad to my Aaron collection. Also picked up this 1951 Bowman Warren Spahn.

Cool factor there Zach!
That pics makes that sheet look 5ft tall. How many do you have? They must take up tons of wall space?

For the rookie collection.

I just love the Joe Torre 1962 RC. One of my all time favorite cards. The pose, the glove, the trophy, it all comes together. He also was a heck of a player. His 71 season was one for the ages. Just a name so synonymous with baseball. Recently grabbed one myself and hope to take a good scan today. Gorgeous card and the Tommy John, too, is especially nice. A TJ card is really essential for a collection that tells the story of the game, considering his career and the eponymous surgery.

Thanks! Definitely was looking to get these two for awhile and finally was able to grab two nice examples for a good price. Nice to get these off the list and into the collection!
