I am stoked to kick off the new month!
In the old days, it seemed to me there were a trio of 1967 high numbers that were just nearly impossible to get (meaning way too expensive). They were Brooksie, Mike Shannon and the coveted Red Sox team card. Could be the Saux were in the conversation because of their near magical run in '67, but who knows if these three are still considered the end all/be all short prints they were considered to be at the time. Either way, I am happy to have finally upgraded my #604... 1967redsox604psa8.jpg And I got these three variations (1962 Topps #150 'green tint' and a pair of 1973 Topps #280 'band aid' cards) signed by Al 'Mr. Tiger' Kaline himself. Frickin' awesome... kalineautographs2.jpg

Why is it though, that some '67 high numbers are considered "easy" and even in nice shape can be had for a few bucks? For example #608 Rich Nye / John Upham. I have one in NM condition that I paid like $4 for delivered...

Another very difficult (and very attractive...) card in that series is the #580 Rocky Colavito.

Went to a flea market this weekend and picked up a lot of around 200 cards from 1960-1974 including many high #s from the 60s-72 for 15 cents apiece (paid $35 total for that lot).
Also picked up this 56 Billy for $5. It was that price because it's OC and has a very faint hairline wrinkle (the crease doesn't go all the way through to the back). I'm not working on the 56 set, so I'll be moving it. Not sure about the others. Might use them as trade bait. ![]()

Price was right and I'm moving a good deal of stuff to be able to afford it, LOL.

I grabbed up a couple more high grade 1967 Laughlins. I love how snug they are in the SGC holders. It's a thing of beauty! In PSA slabs, they slide around like pucks in a rink.

Upgraded another wicked tough 1971 Fleer World Series #71 'update' Laughlin card (sadly, it features my Mets being unduly dismissed)...
