Great cards, guys-- how awesome is it to see the postwar thread ON FIRE?!
2013 is closing out with some fireworks.

Agreed on both counts, Matt.

I will have plenty to contribute here in 2014.

Great cards, guys. Greg, that '68 Topps Mays is sharp!

Thanks Bill! Really happy with it.

Feeling better and better buying raw cards. One thing I have learned is that just about everyone over grades what they are selling. I am learning what to look for and also how much to pay for each card.

Thanks for all the help you've provided me.

Chris, those Post Cereal backs are so nostalgic. I hope you keep and display them the way they are. What precious conversation pieces! Nice pick-ups! Well done, bro!

Thanks Brian! They are a little outside my normal collecting focus, but I could not resist and was happy to add them both within about an hour of each other. They will definitely be staying as is, and, if I am fortunate enough, not making their way out of my collection for many, many years. I love that they have stayed intact for so long.

Thanks again Chris for parting with the 61! (If anyone is looking for one for their collection Chris had another 4 card panel with a couple great players for sale).

The second phase should be here in a few days. I have gone a little hog wild lately. Will have the 50's Mantle Run done soon...

The 52 Bowman is dead 50/50 left/right, despite how the left inner ridge of the holder is obscuring a sliver of the left edge (a main reason that holder is such a chafe when it comes to scanning).

Great cards, Matt!!

I've been looking for an ungraded Henderson card that nice for a while. In fact, that's what I was looking for before checking this thread again.
