Congrats John!!! Now that is an incredible pick-up. Why can't I ever find items like that at the flea market? I didn't even know that the Post cards were issued in singles, I always thought they were issued like this (or in perforated sheet form)...
 Great pick-up! Mike Last edited by docpatlv; 04-01-2011 at 06:33 PM.

The Post cards came in sheets or on boxes, which are a thicker stock. They generally came in 5 or 7 card panels on the back of boxes (like yours). The closely related Jello cards came individually on the smaller Jello boxes, but I have never seen a small snack-size Post box before. A great pick-up!

What a great Aaron box!
I've seen two or three others, all of them Alpha Bits. There was a Koufax that sold in the Legendary Bill Mastro collection auction in December. Greg http://www.baseballbasement.com

Thanks. But it wasn't cheap and I originally decided to pass on it. In fact I was already out the door and half way to my car when I had a change of heart. I collect Milwaukee Braves cards and I knew I'd never seen another one, and probably wouldn't ever see one again, so I decided to go for it. Even though my box is empty, I'm glad my wife decided to give me the go-ahead especially after seeing how much the Koufax went for.

Finally decided to go after the '52 set. Here's my 1st pickup for the set (and a possible resubmit for a bump?). Three guesses where I bought it!

Nice pick up Brandon!
I picked up this '52 Jackie this week to complete my '52-56 Jackie run. The creases are not as bad in person as the scans suggest, but it's still no where near the condition of your Mays. I can certainly understand why you'd want to pursue this set. Good luck!  Regards, Richard.

Don't laugh now, but I'm gonna undershine all the other Robby's here. This one's definitely destined for an upgrade, but it'll be well loved amongst my other beaters for now. It honestly makes me wish I would've pulled the trigger on the other one even more. But I can't complain about the price either. Pat nice pickup BTW, that is one beautiful Robby.

Stunning cards, guys!
I've started to put together Cardinal team sets from 1960 and back. I know it's a common but I got this one in today and I can't stop staring at it. The card has a flawless picture and great centering. The lint spots you see are from my scanner. I tried to clean it but apparently I suck. LOL It was PSA graded but I cracked it out. Any guesses on the grade?

Bucket List Card...
Thanks to SCMAVL (Jarrod) on the board for cutting me a nice deal on a card I've long wanted to add to my collection...we'll see how the "gods" at SGC treat me with this one...fingers crossed! Despite a light crease in the upper corner, I was blown away by the centering which has become my primary concern when buying cards. Thanks again, Jarrod!

After focusing on pre-war for the past 8+ years I'm really enjoying these mid-grade 50's with great eye appeal again. Cards like this just blow me away and they are so much easier on the budget too.  Here is the back

Sweet
Sweet Aaron, awesome centering. You should get a YL one too to boot. Looks like the light wear on the corners keep it out of a "7" holder...Here is a recent upgrade for me, decided to add a few more nicer Clemente's to my collection, I am a Pittsburgh kid after all so it's a must:

After being away from the hobby for 15+ years, I received my first mail day today...
   Now if only I could find a '47 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson with the rounded corners, and a '51 Whitey Ford Bowman 5 or better at a nice price.

Thanks! Ironically, the Koufax was first of the three that I purchased. I'm focusing on both Jackie Robinson, and also on HOF RC's.
