August Pickups

My favorite card of one of my favorite players.

Picked up ten 66 high numbers, including toughies, for cheap at a show today. The White Sox Rookies at .75 was the cheapest, and Clarke at only $8 in VG/EX was the most expensive. Clarke, Norhtrup and McFarlane are listed as SP's and Snyder has a rep as a tough one, or at least it used too. Love the design of the 66's, but man these 7th series cards take a long time to find at reasonable prices!

Did you pick these up at the Sacramento show?

Great card, Topcat!

When I got back into collecting in early 2016, that was the number one card I pursued.
It took a bit to get my copy but I was pretty happy when I did.
(PSA 3 older flip)

Thanks irv. I just got back into it as well and had to be patient to find a copy that looked good and was actually affordable. Now I just need a nice black back to put next to it.

Yep! First time going to it, pleased there was a decent amount of vintage post war

Jason, very cool that you're collecting the 59F Ted set! It took me about 2.5 years to slowly complete 79/80 of a "collector grade" set. Then I sold some stuff and bought a PSA 1 of the #68 short print. I really love that set and it's the biggest I've ever completed. (I'm not usually a set guy).

Nice card. I always wondered what the little flesh colored nodules were in the background, especially the one seemingly coming out of Warren's neck to make him resemble Frankenstein. Just something on the wall behind him?

I had this card as a kid (probably in the early 90's) but traded it somewhere along the line. Mine was in much worse shape, with heavy creasing across the length of the card horizontally near the bottom.
