December Pickups

Picked up at auction from a member consignment, wouldn't have bought it without the backstory. Thanks for the heads up Scott.

Phil,

Very nice Playball. Will you crack that out or keep it in that slab? Just curious. I assume the backstory gave you confidence in the card as it is.

I'll keep it in that slab. Scott posted the story of the card here and how he got a bunch from an old time collector long ago, cracked most of them but found this leftover recently in his collection. Funny thing is I've had this card on my list of 300 for a long time but most of the examples are OC, too brown, or off reg. I love cards like this with a story.

Most definitely, that slab has such a nice feel to it, and hell, it might be worth more than the card someday when they open a slab museum.

There's also something about cards from old time collections that I just love, they seem to have more integrity and quality. With all the trimming going on I find myself gravitating towards cards with "honest" wear on the edges.
