August Pickups

[jason.1969]

I had been sitting on about 25/80 since college. What got me going almost 30 years later were three things--

1. Unexpectedly stumbling on 5-6 more at my local card shop.

2. Having a couple years to kill before I'm ready to throw down on Ruth and Gehrig.

3. The awesome PBS documentary that just came out.

Am getting to around 70 shortly if a couple current bids hold up.

Did you know David Ortiz owns the production company and commissioned that documentary?

I did not!! Saw Big Papi name in credits at the end but didn't know the connection.

I picked these up over the last couple weeks. The 56s are for my 56 HOF set that I will never complete. The 62 AS and 63 Fleer are upgrades for those sets. The 58 AS is for my 58 AS subset

Congrats on the Clemente rookie, David. A classic! That is one on my list for sure.

Nice other pickups, gentlemen.

I'm late to the party, so congratz on your '52 Mantle! The mother load of all cards.


Thanx Kris for the Clemente comment.

. I'm not even bothered by the (MC) either as it is a common issue with these. Don't see too many card shops anymore and to have a shop here in town have one is pretty rare in its own context.
