Nice card, Jules.

Thanks Adam!
Love the name Blue Moon Odom

Couple of nice looking PSA 7's. Congrats.

Darren, awesome Seaver and Aaron. Congrats on the grades!

I really love the Transo Odom as well.

And Larry, those Oh cards are out of this world!

The '71s are PSA 7s; Russel and Erautt are PSA 5s; Sain (correct bio) is a PSA 4.

Great looking 52's, again, Dave!

I assume the Matt Batts is also a 5? You certainly have a knack for getting some great looking cards!

Thanks Dale! Batts is raw; the seller had it listed as EX.

Adam, nice timing on the Morris and Trammell rookies. I'm curious as to which show you attended, it's been quite awhile for me to attend a local show. Darren nice Greatest Moment card - if there ever were a set that takes patience to put together that is it.

Been a bit slower for me with Post-war acquisitions. Slowly finishing off my '62 set.

Yeah, I didn't even realize the HOF induction was coming up that soon. Didn't even cross my mind, I was just looking for those cards. Grew up idolizing those 80s Tigers. The show was at a Hilton in Holland. I live near GR on the west side. Apparently they do it there a few times a year, next one in February. It wasn't that big or anything, but a nice turnout of dealers, and a lot of really nice guys. Had some good conversations, and got some good deals.

Side note about Morris, he was at a West Michigan Whitecaps game last summer signing autographs, and I was dying to go. My wife ended up having a work function that night which I had to attend as well, so I missed it. I wasn't happy about it, but stuff happens. Now that he's a HOFer though, I wonder if he'll come back to do that again.

Sweet Yaz, btw. I've always dug that 62 set. Same with the 87 set. Some guys don't like that wood grain, but I love it.

James,

You picked up the ‘67 Cleon Jones Test Disc; awesome pickup! It is on the silver foil, correct?

Thanks. Yes, silver foil.

Has anybody else noticed the optical illusion on the 62 Yaz card? Three bat handles and two barrels?
