December pickups

[brewing]

Picked up from board member. This completes my Clemente basic Topps run. I need a 1965 Koufax to complete a basic Topps run for all Hall of Famers that had a Topps rookie card. I was hoping to complete before the end of the year. 26 hours left.

Brent, that's a really strong 5. Wow.

It's funny, the wood panel set, er the '62 set, was never one of my favorites. But Roberto makes even that card look good. Roberto never took a bad picture in his life, did he?

I'm going to start hitting his master set hard this year. I don't think I'll finish it in 2015, but I'd like to have it done by early 2016. I have to get the two I do have, the '71 and '73, graded, as I think they'll both grade out nicely. The '71 is a 7 at least, maybe a little higher. The '73 is an 8 +.

Right after the start of the year, I'm going to get a really nice '58. That's one of my all-time favorite cards of anybody. The '56 probably next after that. I can't wait to share them all with you guys.
