June pick up thread

Strangely, I "upgraded" my PSA 6 Greenberg with a PSA 5 I had to have the centering for my set. The Medwick isn't quite spot on--but it's the best I've found the last couple of years...

This set is a bitch but so pretty and interesting to me. This is my favorite--along with Black Hawk Sioux and Red Cloud, in the set.

Had a short weekend getaway with the wife, and I found a card shop in antique store I went into. Had lots of vintage stuff. Had a stack of around 120 different from 1955T that were probably in Ex-Mt overall (low numbers were NM, high numbers were Ex). Also had about 60 different 1956T in VG-Ex to Ex, a lot of around 90 from 1955B in VG-Ex to Ex and had a lot of around 40-50 from 1963T in Ex-Mt shape.

He offered me the lot of 1955T for $400 (was probably 75-80 low #s and 30+ high #s and a total BV of close to $2k), but I had to pass. My wife would've killed me had I spent that much on baseball cards.

But I did pick up a few things. I got the 55B for a friend, picked up a Ex to Ex-Mt 1957T Reese that is now in my partial set at home and a 1978 Time magazine that features the Cowboys-Broncos Super Bowl. I also got the following. Spent $40 on everthing:

Ain't that the way it always is. My wife has told me if I will sell something then I can buy something. And I ask, how will my collection grow if I'm going in a circle all the time?
