Have you sold the card on the left or do you still have it?

Wow! Love all the stuff I am seeing: Williams, Mantle, Clemente, Koufax, etc.! Then here I come with my pitiful little '65 Topps commons as I plug away at that set.

Nothing wrong with those cards!

Collecting is collecting, even if big names aren't part of it.

I haven't received them yet, but I am pretty stoked to be adding these cards to my 52 Topps collection.
I might have overpaid for the Monty Irvin card, but after numerous bids/acquisition attempts, I can finally say I won/own one!
Always wanted a Lopat as well, but surprisingly, it was difficult to acquire in my price range (Is that a tough card?)

The Cliff Fannin is an upgrade to the one I own in my Flickr album below.
(Figured it was the least I could considering how I obtained my cards)

It's highly unlikely I'll ever complete my set despite already owning a Mantle as I still lack too many high dollar cards such as Campanella and Mathews.

I enjoy picking up what I can when I can and adding to what I already have, but I know someday, due to those high value cards, my collecting of 52 Topps will likely come to an end, unfortunately.

Thanks for letting me know, Orlando.

What am I not seeing?

Very nice card, BTW!

Irv, I understand. They are pricey. You know, many prewar collectors chase T206 exclusively knowing that they will never have a "complete " set due to that set's Big 4. It is ironic, when it comes to '52 Topps, it isn't necessarily the Mantle alone that I like. There is just something about the look of the cards, the use of the colors that draws me in. It would take me forever, but I could probably manage the rest of the set in lower to mid grade. But I have the curse of being a completionist and just couldn't handle not being able to finish.

The Duke is in the house. I've coveted this particular card for a while.
What a treat to have it in hand.

Recently decided to build a small raw collection of stars from the 1950's-1970's. Below are my pick-ups so far for the month:

Todd, I've always loved that 64T NL HR leaders card with the 4 HOFers
