January pick ups.

Nice stuff!

I haven't done anything big in the first week of the year but I did finish my Ryan 1970s run with these:




Also got started on OPC:

Mike already provided a years worth of Mantle Thunder above, but on my budget this is considered a "whale".
Humbled to own it.

Hi everyone--my name's Ross and I'm new to the Net 54 forums. I am a big Koufax collector and working on his master set. Here's what I've picked up so far this month. I had been looking for the '59 Morrell for a while so I'm happy to cross that one off the list!

I won't quote all of the pictures again, but nice pickups on those '61s earlier. I have always thought that is an underrated set.

Wow, great Mantles and the Koufax bunch is sweet too. Welcome to the board Ross. Great way to make an entrance!

Here's my take so far this month. The 1970s were the last two cards I needed to finish the set. I got antsy with the checklist as it was THE last card ... upon arrival it turned out to be more ex-mt than nm-mt so I will eventually upgrade. But at least I can finally call it complete!

That "Red" Rolfe card looks to be in ex/mint shape, Dave.

Nice P/U!

I was in a card shop last week, when George Foster came in. He was in great shape (looked like he could still play, although he's probably 66 or so now). We talked with him about his greatest memories (e.g. He was the reason Sparky had Rose move to 3rd base - to get his bat in the lineup). I had forgotten about his MVP season in 1977 (52 HRs and 149 RBI's - WOW).

Scurrying to find a card of Foster to sign, I located a 1977 (his MVP season) card and had him sign it.

I realize this isn't a super vintage card or anything, but it was a great experience.

Welcome to the site, Ross.

Very nice cards, especially that Rookie!

I'm Ian, also fairly new here. Pretty humbled by the amazing cardboard shown here!

Here is my first addition of 2017. This marks the halfway point on my Boog Powell set, Love the clear picture on this one!

Ross,

Great to see the Koufax pickups. Keep up the cool looking items; I especially enjoy the odd-ball items.

Nice Mick, Ray! Signature card for the set!

The Koufax lot is fun to look at! Good stuff!
