Finally was able to have a card show adventure and picked up just a few awfully cool things...
Never owned a
1963 Fleer Wills Rookie before, so this is a first for me. Got a nice price on the tough
1957 Topps #272 semi-high (and being a Yankee always adds a premium to it) Bobby Shantz.
And my complete absorption with the
1972 Topps set continues, as I added a pair of the sweetest looking
(and incredibly well centered) Willie Mays and
Carlton Fisk Rookie cards I have seen in quite a long time.

And saved for last on my way out the door, I chatted up a guy who was readying to pack up his table and he was kind enough to give me a sweet deal on this
Mick...

I told him,
"If you get a chance to buy a Mantle (at a decent price), you buy the Mantle."
He wholeheartedly agreed!
