Congratulations, Drew, on finishing your set. And doing so with a '52 Bowman Mantle is going out in real style!

Some real beauties here, guys. I'm enjoying looking at these. Lots of Aarons and Mantles.

Nothing big for me, as I am still in saving mode (well, I dropped about $400 on Blu Ray movies, because I wanted to boost my collection. So I'm not saving everything. I should be buying cards again soon).

I did pick up my first 1952 Topps though, a Vern Stephens. And it's a real beauty to me. I think it's my favorite card right now, one because it's a 1952 Topps, and the history of the set is not lost on me. Two, I've been reading quite a lot about Mr. Stephens as of late, so adding this card was a no brainer.

The centering is absolutely magnificent.



The next card I buy will be from a gentleman I plan on writing about here very soon. Somebody I feel is vastly underappreciated by baseball historians. Within the next week or so, I'll be putting up a discussion about him. But for now, I am going to just enjoy looking at my first '52. I'm transported back to that picture of Woolworth's & Co, with the table setup with the boxes of 1952 Topps.

Clicky goodness

I can't help but wonder if Vern didn't come from one of those boxes.

To really appreciate Stephens, take a look at the Top 5 Single Seasons for HRs by a shortstop, pre-Ernie Banks. Pretty cool!

There are several in the 1954 Topps set, Schoolboy Rowe is one.

Added this card. Kind of rough, but fit my budget.

Brent, great card, nice centering. Congratulations!

[pawpawdiv9]

AWESOME!!! You finally did it!!!
But i have to ask, whats the holder?grade? no way you got than 'raw' looks every bit of a 2-3 grade. Heck the centering is wonderful too, as noted

It was a SGC 1, Mick is enjoying his freedom before his flight to CA.

Plus, I had to hold the card that has been a dream since I was 11.

I'm pretty excited about the Robinson coming in, and even the '59T Anderson RC. Got them both at a good price together. Lovin' me some cardboard!

[jb67]

Both the Robinson and Sparky rookies look very nice for the grade. Congrats on the additions.
