Very nice, Dave.

Based simply on your "new acquisitions" posts, you must have an amazing collection.

Thanks, Rob.
I also like the cards from that era, especially the Gretzky . Hindsight being 20/20, I should have purchased a OPC BVG 6 for $600 a few years ago.
I thought it was a lot of money back then, and it was, but I could have easily doubled it now as they seem to be on fire.

I am getting there with my collection. Outside of concentrating on my 52's, I pretty much have a mish mash of everything. (most in my link below)

I just watched a 67-68 Orr All Star card end. I wanted to bid but due to the sellers feedback and description of the card (VG) plus the fact I'd have to pay 13% sales tax on it, I decided against it. I think I made the right decision but due to the cards centering, it was tough not to bid. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1967-68-TOPP...orig_cvip=true

I'm not sure what I am going to chase next? I recently got burned on a Darryl Sittler RC that came creased so with that one on its way back, I will likely try to find another one?

I'm still picking up cards to complete my vintage Parkhurst run. The cards are available, but I may just need to get up off my wallet and pay.
1952-1963 I now need 59 cards (I'm collecting the '51 series as well but I need ALOT LOL). Batters Box and Greg Morris cards continue to supply, and these arrived today. I use the old Tuff Stuff price guide which is online I really don't know how accurate it is https://www.tuffstuff.com/priceguides
1953 Doug Harvey #26 cost me $28 which is a little less than 20% "book"and just 2 more cards left to complete my set.
1958 "All Eyes On the puck" cost me $11.13 a touch more than 20% book and just 4 cards left to complete my set.
1959 Carl Brewer cost me $6.13 about 6% book I need just two more cards for my set.

Picked up another Darryl Sittler OPC RC as the first one I won ended up being creased despite the sellers claim it had no flaws.

A couple recent P/U's. One is of Ty Dellandrea's signed OHL Flint Firebirds card. Ty is a friend's nephew and a local boy to me who was chosen in the first round, 13th overall, by the Dallas Stars.

The 2nd is another Sidney Crosby RC. 05-06 Beehive card that I happened across and went for it. A 10 would have been nicer but I have zero complaints with this card.

still chipping away at my '54 Parkhurst sets. #24 Armstrong with the Lucky Premium back just three more needed! #36 Delvecchio with bio back just four more needed!
