Net54baseball Vintage Group Break: 1954 Topps Set (sold out)

[kailes2872]

Lots of anticipation followed by disappointment...

$25 for $5 in cards - yup sounds about like my normal ratio

Thanks Nick for doing this! Good Fun

Thanks guys for running this!

To quote the famous autumnal philosopher: "I got a rock!"

But it was fun -- and thanks Leon and Nick!

I can't wait till I can rewind and watch the video again. Looked like my new #17 Phil Rizzuto was way off center top to bottom. I am weird and collect oddball stuff like that so I am super happy. Also got the #22 Greengrass.
Thanks Nick and Leon!!!

I am happy with my pick up of #237 Mike Ryba, a Cardinals card I did not yet have in my collection.

My other pick up was card #195 Billy Consolo RC of the Red Sox (boo hiss boo!!) whom I would be happy to trade for a Cardinal card from the set break!

I look forward to the next break!


Good times & thanks for putting this together!!

This was awesome. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one!

I ended up with Fred Haney (MGR) and Gil Hodges, probably close to even Steven.

Never done this before, so I'll ask the dumb question:

How do you go about trading for this? Do you post in this thread or do you actually post in the Buy/Sell/Trade section? I ask since I'd gather that you need to trade w/ others in this break...

Any Tigers or Braves fans needing a coaching card with the subject in the crouch holding a catchers' mitt?

What are the odds? Two Bobs. Both coaches. Both catching. LOL




I'm a Giants' fan, but am not particular on this set... Cheers!

[drmondobueno]

Thanks for fitting me in at the last moment. BTW, this is my first 1954, Geno Bertoia (who? Guess I get to find out...)

[refz]

I will definitely participate again. Many thanks Leon and Nick.

[milkit1]

oh man PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE do a pre ww1 set or group next time.

[tribefan]

I'm looking to trade card #75 Fred Haney, Pittsburgh Pirates manager for any Cleveland Indians card. LMK if you are interested.

Thanks for putting this together!

Kevin,

Don't think of it as overpaying for commons. Instead, use this as an opportunity to experience what it would have been like to open two Topps "one cent" packs back in '54...and build your set from there.

That's what I plan to do.

Best regards,

Eric

I'd imagine that in 1954, when a kid popped a "one cent" pack, there was no Pop Tarts ad in Spanish.



Thank you for doing this, Nick. It was just fun being able to do something with everybody else for a change. I look forward to doing this again.
