My Quest To Conquer The Monster

[Jantz]

Oh, so you're the guy who bought the Mullin!

Just joking

I looked at that card on Thursday during my first lap around the floor. It is a nice looking card, but I was holding out for one with a Polar Bear back. Not finding one, I went back yesterday to find an empty spot in the dealer's showcase.

You're right, the dealer had it priced to sell.

Congrats on the pick-ups and your first HOFer! Nice cards!

Mark, Very very nice Matty! That card looks great in person.

Congrats.

Mark, you're doing great. Keep it up!

BTW, very nice Matty. Great eye appeal.

You KNOW i love that Matty!

Jantz - that is funny about the Mullin. The older gentlemen were from Michigan and that was the only T206 on his table as it was a Tiger. I really liked the centering. I bought it on Friday.

Thanks for the comments on the Matty. I just couldn't NOT buy it.

If I ever decide to sell, it will be to you Eric.

Was able to pick up 3 more cards over the last week. The first was an ebay pick-up.




The Evers I picked up from Mikehealer here on the boards. Was just blown away with this card. The colors just knock you out. This may be my favorite card.




The next card came from a very good friend of mine. He collected hockey cards back in the late 70's and early 80's. I bugged him for 7 or 8 years to get back into collecting. Well, now he is fast and furious back into collecting pre and post war hockey. For helping educate him, he bought this Frank Chance for me. Now this is what collecting is all about. I won't ever sell this card.




I am closing in on 10% of the way through the set. I am sitting at 43/524 for 8%. Hopefully I will get to 10% by the end of the year.

I haven't updated this thread for awhile. Here are (4) more cards for my set:

Picked up this Bobby Wallace from the BST thread.




Picked the Howie Camnitz from the BST thread.




Picked the McAleese up from ebay (upgrade).




And got the Willis from ebay today. Very excited about this card.




Now at 46/524.

As Luke said, you have a great eye for your cards. They look very sharp. Most of the 2s &3s look much nicer. I have been at it since 2003, and have reached about 350. Good luck and don't back down, I get sidetracked and onto other sets.
