Yeah I sold off all of my cards back in the summer and I even had to let my '52 Topps Mantle go back in the fall due to some unexpected medical expenses. Everything's cool now, but I'm still trying to build my funds back up. At least I can always drop by and check out the pickup threads to get my card fix! I do miss hanging out here on a daily basis though...

A few of this weeks pick-ups... Sure the Doby's beat up, but I liked the price..

Well, you can always buy some of those cards back at another time, but health is most important. Good to hear you're doing well!

Here's a card that arrived on Friday. These Leaf cards are nice when the stars are aligned and everything comes together. Not sure why this is only a "6", as there's not a wrinkle to be found.

Nice 2. Wavy star line,truncated e in auto and tails on border at top = stitches on back point right on this double print variation

After starting it 13 years ago, I'm finally done with the '55 set. Just waiting for a few more cards to arrive and then I can get going on the '58 set.
