November Pickup Thread

[wdwfan]

Finally can post again on this thread. First vintage pickups in a while. I've never been into the graded thing and never owned anything graded (have never subbed either). But decided as I get older that vintage graded is kind of more stable than newer, modern stuff. So diving into it.

Bought 3 PSA cards off Facebook earlier this week, and they should be here tomorrow. Will post those when I get them.

But I also visited Bankston's in Waco yesterday. Great store and great owner. Brent told me he had some graded boxes in the back, so he went and grabbed them to let me look through them. Glad I did.

Decided to buy these 2 cards.

The new cornerstone of my entire PC. My most expensive card.



Also a nice RC of a non-HOFer, although this guy has a good case to be in there.



Also picked up a raw copy of one of my all time favorite cards (it was the first vintage card I ever saw back in 1992)

Nice Williams! I don’t own the #1, but a I do own a nice PSA 6 of the #250. I remember debating which one to get, and chose the 250 for whatever reason. Both great though!

These are the first 3 graded cards I bought. They came in today after I had purchased the ones I posted previously. These are the 3 that got my graded collecting started.

I actually bought the SGC because I liked the look of the cards in the black case. But I think I'm going to be selling it now because I am very CDO and love uniformity of having all PSAs.

Beautiful cards, everyone. The older I get, the more I appreciate 50s/60s/70s cards. They remind me so much of the days when I was growing up. If I didn't own them personally, these cards were on my want list.

Case in point - this 1950 Richie Ashburn. It arrived in yesterday's mail. As a kid back in the early 80s, I would have thought it unattainable. After all, it was over 30 years old.

To put that in perspective, I can almost imagine kids today reverentially gazing at a 1987 Topps Cal Ripken, Jr.

Almost.

I second the kudos for Bankston’s. Definitely give them you’re business. One of the big perks moving back to the Waco area.
