OMG I'm collecting modern: my modern Houston Astros pickup thread

[Laxcat]

I'm a taker on any Correas I don't have. Of course the MC as well. I've run into that. More often it is the exact opposite. I have regular customers that give me stacks of MC's whenever I see them. A few dealers also know I'm good for a trade from my $1 boxes for the MC's that they deem as worthless.

Cat out of the bag: I'm working on a complete run of sets from 57-79 that are MC with a portion of another card on them. Baseball & Football. I don't make my list public b/c I'm afraid of a price increase.

They are fun & modern MC's are a bear to find.

I call this one "Mission Accomplished"

Blank and Wrong Backs. All under the sui generis of "printing flaws"

I think the real reason all the modern stuff is much harder to find is so many people send them back to companies customer service to get better centered cards that they leave circulation.

Yeah. Double edged sword. If I want the 'stros to be good I have to shell out the $$$.

Let's hope he keeps this up. Kids work ethic and all around attitude is awesome.
