warshawlawI did a BAD thing yesterday at a local show: I went there hungry, having been skunked in every auction over the last month. Picked up the following:
e90-1: Plank, Collins, Bresnahan
e96: Kling
The Plank and Collins grade GAI 1 poor--they are solid vg cards with a small punch hole each in an unobtrusive place. They looked really nice. The Bresnahan is a GAI 2 for honest wear. The Kling has a nice vg front but an inkstain on the back. But, I've been looking for a Kling for a while, so I couldn't resist it.
Also got a 1940 Play Ball Heilmann. A really nice ex-ex+ card. Looked even better than I thought when I popped it out of the screw down. Mostly white, no creases, a tad o/c.
Paid $260 for all 5 of them.
Funniest card of the day, had to buy it, 1976 Topps Traded Oscar Gamble. Those of you who remember the 70's remember that Oscar had the best 'fro this side of Darnell Hillman (Indiana Pacers). On this card the cap makes him look like he's wearing Mickey Mouse ears. Just the best.
For the error fans, a 1969 Yaz miscut. Yaz has a nice 1/2" of the card above it.
