@Ian:
Dont worry Ian. it happens. MattyC may been the only one to know i was going after it. Yeah, I am going for RC's, and this one was out of my data range i am normal doing. Just some cards appeal to me than others. Thats why i have not sealed the deal on a Banks or Ryan Rc yet i guess. I do like your B&W dimmagio alot and it appeals to me more than say that Yogi RC. Call me weird, maybe thats why Koufax is like last on my list. Some people got addictions, mine is cardboard (cards.

Matt- not thousands.. yet
 Anyway, loaded up on bid bucks and a beer, I figured I'd grab one before the next triology releases and a whole new generation is sucked in for life. These figures are crazy nostalgic for me too. I grew up on those movies and toys in a way that even pre-dates baseball (saw the Star Wars re-release in theater at about 2).Chris- I really like the '36 premium Dimaggio too. Great, weird/toothy grin of his.. and can see why it became a good cartoon. Think he's about 21, but may as well be 14. Am also not a huge fan of '48 Bowmans, but do like them signed.

Still trying to finish off my 1964 Topps Set. I'm down to only 61 cards missing. I thought the Rose would be one my 1st additions but it turned out being one my last. Man, is that card tough to get in NRMT or better at a decent price. The Brock is a little off center but the corners are razor shop and the price was right.

The '64 Topps set has always puzzled me. They did a great job by having the players' hats, mitts, etc., alone break into the white part of the card. A very cool effect. Lou Brock and Pete Rose are perfect examples. But then you have cards like the Billy Williams, whose head falls short of the top border, and you gotta ask why didn't he get the same treatment? If they were worried about the bat sort of interfering, for instance, they could have tilted the picture a little more to allow his hat to effectively cross into the white. I dunno, just some weird design choices.
