March Pickup Thread

Nice Killebrew John.

I too went to a local card show today. Room was packed, decent amount of vintage, some priced fair, some way overpriced. I guess a typical show. A couple dealers said sales were good.

I did end up with a card that I was not actively pursuing, but it was on my radar. Couldn't pass it up.

Very nice. I saw one of those at my show too, but it was overpriced. That card currently falls high on my list of "Why don't I have this yet?" cards. I have the '75 Yount, and I have a graded version of the '75 Brett mini - but don't currently have a copy of the regular sized card.

Thanks John. Dealer had it priced at $150 but we settled on $125. Couldn't be happier with the eye appeal.

Love the minis and that is one very nice '5'.

68 Gibby is such a great card. Looks like a guy who won't allow much more than one earned run per game.

I haven’t purchased a card for a long time as I prefer memorabilia. Lately Im getting old and becoming aware of my mortality. I decided to start grading some cards from my childhood collection so my family could maximize the value of my collection when I’m gone. I’ve had these cards for 40+ years so technically they can’t be classified as pickups but they have been entombed for the first time.

A set I'll never complete (due to a combination of finances and eventual death), but whoop-de-doo I'm getting pretty close to the halfway mark with this (often added to the discussion of being a) possible future Hall of Famer...
