I gave myself one day to celebrate completing my '51-'81 Topps run, but time to get back in the game
Saturdays mail brought a hit to my 1951 Bowman set, #2 Otto Graham. It seems the previous owner was unsure of Ottos team, so he "inked" it on the back LOL! The Standard Catalog says this is a $200 card in NM. Well I busted my 10% threshold to pick this one up, after shipping ($3.50) was $28.50 or 14.5%.
Down to three cards to complete this set:
#4 Norm Van Brocklin RC (NM $325)
#20 Tom Landry RC (NM $365)
#90 Tony Canada (NM $50)

Wow Larry, congrats on the accomplishment, but I'm more amazed at the heavy star power in your last 5 cards!

I love the Otto Graham, Larry. I picked one of those up a couple of months ago at a show. I paid $20 for mine, also in well loved condition.

I don't have a pic of it available, but I did post it in this blog post.

I've also decided to use your strategy on completing sets - paying 10% or less of "book" value. While it could be a challenge, it will be a fun one!
