December pickups

[jason.1969]

Have been on a rough budget, hence major collecting drought, these past several months. Still, N54 smiled on me this past Thursday when two members sent great stuff my way for free!

Thanks to Snapolit1 for the Wheaties panels of two of my favorite 1930s players, Mel Ott and Lefty Grove, and to EYECOLLECTVINTAGE for the Dr. K signed Baseball Digest and jumbo card.

Haven't posted in a while. These are some cards that I have picked up in the last few months. The All-Star is trimmed and rough, but it is a Topps Venezuela and one of the last two Venezuela cards that I need. The Magic Ruboff is for my Braves & Brewers logo cards for Hank's playing days.

I can relate!

I recently just finished purchasing my wife a new car so money has been rather thin lately to say the least.
Once purchased, I needed a few things like snow tires and rims, windows tinted, Husky floor liners, mud flaps, and to get it rustproofed.
I plan on keeping this car a long time so I got an oil/filter change and managed to get a coat of wax on it before the snow flew.

That aside, I did manage to bid on a few cards tonight but got my butt promptly kicked!

Hopefully after Christmas, if Santa is good to me, I can get back to bidding more frequently?

I stand corrected. I seen a GM card go last night for over $200 so I didn't think I'd have a chance on this one.
I threw in my max bid and went to bed only to wake this morning to see that I won it.
It's been a tough one trying to get but glad to say I finally own one.

I have seen several references to an orange background version of the 52 Crandall. Does anyone have one they can post ?

4 more '52s down and a couple of '71 upgrades. I wish Topps had laid out the McLain better; the team name not being centered over the photo always makes it look wrong. Find a centered team name and the photo is off; find a centered photo and the name is off. Always wondered how the grading companies assess centering on this card.

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

Is that Thurman Manson diving for Pinson?

Manson, no. Munson, yes.

Never noticed before but certainly looks to be #15.
