Went to my only local card store this afternoon looking for some penny sleeves and top loaders. Guy strictly deals with buying/selling hockey but recently picked these up on a trade he said.

Looking through the lot of them I chose these and got them for $20 dollars.

He did have some more Team cards, which I passed on but now I am thinking I should have grabbed those as well? Thoughts on Team Cards?

I didn't make out like a bandit as the Aaron is rough, but I don't think I did too bad?

If only Rockwell had thought about us collectors and not made his rainfall look so much like creases!

My biggest issue with this set is the fact expensive high numbered cards are umpires.

I think you did fine, Irv....except Mossi's ears looked trimmed to me :)

Zach-- home many U.S. Households had a color TV in 1955 ?

lol. You're right, his left ear does look a little trimmed/squared off! :D

Mantle upgrade.

I'm used to posting in the prewar section, but I still dabble in postwar here and there.

Used my ebay bucks towards these 2 beauties:
