I’ve done some reading about those teams lately that’s given me a soft spot for them, and gotten good deals on some cards with vintage signatures.

I'm up to 260 right now on the Topps. A member here sold me Roy Campanella, which I never thought I'd get with today's prices. I was the underbidder on a couple of auctions in last fall's REA and on eBay a couple months ago that could have gotten me up to 268, but they'll come up again. I posted my progress here:
