April Pickups

[jthorst75]

Two of my favorite cards from two of the best...

Furillo was my grandfather's favorite. His cards have much personality. Must be thrilling to make such a big upgrade.

Congrats on two huge cards for a collection in the 53 Mays and the Hank Crown! Both are so clean. The Mays is legendarily tough.

picked up 2 more aaron rooks and my first clemente rook. all 3 low grade, but I have been overly picky on picking up a clemente. have been looking for a while and finally found one I think I can be happy with!!

hopefully, they show before may comes around, as I like using my own scans, which brings me to my question:

what's the consensus definition of a "pick up"?

the day you paid for the card....

or

the day it arrives and can be posted?

If you're pumped and happy enough-- Both!

alrighty, so here's that 1st aaron. still fathoms me that you can pick up the natural home run kings rook in decent condition for $800 and on a good day much less...and a 52 mantle (non-rook) will run ya $10K+ for anything w. decent eye appeal. undervalued, indeed.

Gorgeous! I also think that's my old Aaron RC! Was bought raw at a show then graded. Fantastic card.

Continuing my variation-crazy ways, I grabbed up these three very tough to find '62 green tints and a '66 Johnson 'no trade statement' to boot…

So what's the story on that Johnson variation?

Just copped this bananas second year Aaron-- cannot wait to have in hand. Almost gave up on finding a centered one. Love the Bowman and Topps the same for the '55 Hank.
