April Pickups

[autograf]

Love those Venezuelan Retirado cards.......50 in the set I think. Have a couple of them. Have had more in the past. Don't know why PSA would label that as MC.....that's what those cards are. You'd think they'd have some notations in their 'system' that would say all Venezuelan cards are pretty much cut like that. Great card though and a good price if I remember about what you paid for it when you discussed it a few threads ago...........

Great pick-up, Derek. Never even knew that one existed either.

I know I've been silent since starting the month strong, but back with another...

Best centering south of 8s and up that I've ever seen.

Jim Palmer Collection is complete now!

That '67 Palmer looks MUCH better than a 4. Nice lookin' card!

Agreed. Congratulations on completing your collection, K-Nole.

What did you do, a master set of all Palmer's Topps cards? Or, did you go for all the regular issue cards without things like "In Action"?

Thanks guys!!

It just amazes me at the 70's Orioles pitching staff!!

I just went after the regular issue, Palmer, no "In Action" or Leader cards.

I am just now getting back into the hobby. I am one of those guys that left in the 90's and came back recently to collect only vintage along with my son who is 11.

And in doing so, I have 3 ways that we collect.

1) I do this way alone, as my son is not into the "REALLY old stuff", but I collect E120 & E121 American Caramel.

2) Along with my son, we collect HOF regular issue "set". We have completed Brock, Carlton, McCovey, R. Jackson, & now Palmer. We are one card off on, B. Robinson (dreaded 67), My all time favorite player Al Kaline (Rookie 54), Killebrew (Rookie 55) and Carew (Rookie 67).

3) Along with my son, we put together vintage sets. Working on 71 Topps Baseball (hence the 71 Palmer).
