Picked up this 52 Topps Campy locally...neat iconic card! It does have a pinhole, but I am going to send in to SGC and then decide what to do with it. Just couldn't pass it up!

Picked up another SGC graded 1953 Dormand card...Scooter! I also mailed out 9 Dormands to SGC to be graded today...up to 20. Slowly but surely making some damage on this set...it's been quite challenging.

Two nice pick ups already this year John....you are off to a strong start!

Some of my random pickups so far this year include my last card for my 70 PSA set, a supposedly tough 62 Jello embedded in a random junk lot and finally my second 1960 Topps back color hat trick with all three found embedded in a yet another lot. This bright white back copy has some previous history....https://www.kevinsavagecards.com/196...lot287732.aspx. Hard to believe it ended up in a random lot.

I finally found a nice for me 52 Topps Connie Marrero at a reasonable cost.

Just one more card and the 52 Senators set is complete. Nope, none of the variations, cannot go that route for this series.

Intrigued by this. Was it a show, shop, facebook market, Craigslist, other? We are not too far from each other.

That looks like a copy I would easily add to my collection, depending on the price was to get it of course.

Curt...a local card shop, owner is a friend of mine who saves any vintage buys for me before putting them for sale. He is slowly getting a trickle of 52's in from an older gentleman who opened them in packs as a kid on the east coast, so new to the hobby cards from the original owner. I made a deal with a net54 member and sold it to him for exactly what I paid and now it's at SGC to be graded. It's no longer my card and probably one of those deals where I'll probably regret that later...haha...but super happy to help a fellow collector on an iconic card. Only one I've ever seen or held. I stopped by the shop today and a couple more high numbers came in, I just listed them on the B/S/T for pretty much what I paid. I've given up on 52's considering the Mantle is probably out of my reach, so trying to help others...

Very excited to add this one to my collection. Most I've ever spent on a single card, but it's a goodie!

Continuing my Senators team sets quest, I have added the following today. And the bottom two 75 cards finish out that set for me.

Not really new pick ups, but feels new when you get them graded...

Just got my results and scans from SGC...I subbed 10 1953-55 Dormand's, but only getting 9 back. One had a real autograph on it, and SGC won't grade it...great customer service though, I was immediately refunded. Super fast too...

Anyhow, I had popped a PSA 5 Enos Slaughter and was curious what SGC would grade it...so far every PSA i've popped SGC has been WAY harder. Not this time...got a 5.5. In fact, all my subs exceeded expectations, for once!
