January Pickups

[streetlamp]

Nothing crazy but recent cheap auction winnings. Couldn't pass on graded cards for $2-3 even if they aren't worth much more.

Some pretty centered and sharp looking 7s up there.

The latest-- a cleaner scan shall replace this one when Ted is in hand. What drew me to this specific example is the square top cut; so many examples of this card have a sloping cut, that prevents the card from sitting flush in the bottom of the holder.

Matt, you are a maniac. You have been on a serious tear lately. Great Ted.

Likely the last card I will be picking up for several months. Pleased to add it to the collection though.

I have always loved that Mantle piece. Awesome pickup! He looks like a total rock star in that photo.

Mailman just came! This Mays might be one of my best values, in terms of eye appeal for the dollar. Centering goes a long way with the design of 51 Bowmans...

Bench...

There are some great additions so far this month.

Thanks to a mutual buddy of mine and Miller's, I was able to obtain this freakishly centered Ryan RC.

Matty, That Ryan used to be my card. I sold it to our mutual friend. Glad it found a good home. Its nice, I still scratch my head why I sold it, but I wasnt anticipating cards sky rocketing like they have over the last year.

Beautfiul Teddy Ballgame, Mays, Clemente and 69 Ryan.

I love the 74 Killer as well. I just like looking at ball cards, I am happy for all you guys. Its hard to include everyone in the kudos if your not able to get on everyday.

I will not be incredibly active this year as I purchased a major percentage of the business that I co-owned with a couple other gentleman, so my extra cash this year will be a little more tight than it has in the past. I did add this card, thanks to a seller willing to be flexible on his price, and some EBAY bucks.

It took a bit to find one with nice centering and bright colors, but I got lucky with this Rose.
