November pickups

[the 'stache]

Tom, I have a set or two from the 80s that came directly from the factory. It's certainly nice to be able to get the entire set at one time, and the cards are going to be in great shape. For a lot of people that just want the set, that's a great way to go.

It's been a long time since I added a card to my collection. I have been chasing 71 Pirates memorabilia and have been using my cards as currency. My father gave me an early Christmas present yesterday to fund this purchase. In one form or another he has been buying me baseball cards for Christmas since the Nixon administration. I have always wanted this card and believe it represents a good start to rebuilding my card collection. I have never owned a BVG graded card but this one looks good to me.

Very nice Kaline, Mike.
That one is on my short list. Would love to find one with such solid centering.
Well done.

71buc that is a great looking Kaline rookie! Looks even better than the 5.5 grade. You must have a very cool father. Congrats.

My quest to build another 1972 Topps High Number set.....just trying to figure out the variations in the High Numbers.

And a Baltimore Team Set Proof....I will break it out of the holder.

Thanks for the nice comments. I have been blessed with great father. He has been my best friend for many years now. His baseball gifts have been a Christmas and birthday tradition for as long as I can remember.

Mike I totally understand the upgrade. Here is my 57 Willie Mays upgrade. Just arrived today. From PSA 5 - PSA 7. Also landed a very nice Jackson rookie. And yes I need to sign up for Stache's 12 step program!!
