November pickups

Thank you Bill!

Had never gotten around to picking one up...there is a very light, horizontal wrinkle across the middle of the card. It can mainly be seen when tilting it sideways and looking at it. I thought it was a nice looking 2, especially for the series.

Al-if anyone was going to find that wrapper it was you! I believe one box at least is out there as well. It was a limited release in certain cities and Card Collectors Co. sold off the overstock from what I have unearthed.

Leon-nice pickup on the Tip Top-tough issue, maybe one of the tougher sets out there in the post WW2 issue that saw any kind of (sorta) national distribution.

Thanks Dave..... They aren't that difficult to find but seem to be in mostly lower condition (which is fine by me as long as they look good). Here is another I added yesterday, H801-3, 1948 Smith's...(the back scan is off a little, it is sharp in person). I still need a 1947 HOF'er....hint hint......

Leon - Some Tip Top's are out there in relative abundance but as a set it's a doozy. I thinnk I read in an old TTS only one collector was known to have completed the set. Yikes!

I'm a big fan of PCL issues, though I only have a few. I wonder sometimes how different MLB would have been had the PCL been accepted as a third major league in the 1950's.

Nice 1958 Topps Dodger. Pretty nice centering for a '58...
