First time dealer had these three 1962 Topps Rookie Parade cards marked $20 each. I mean I already have them but these are getting tough to find and look good in the duplicates box. So I got the "how much for all three" discount, and paid $35, a good price I think. These are the only cards I bought all show, disappointing.

Nice!

I'm not super-familiar with the 62 set...What makes those Rookie Parade cards tougher to find?

[rugbymarine]

I put what I thought was a cheap opening bid on this 62 Frank Robinson ($10), and won it at the opening bid. Worn corners and a nice scuff on the surface, but still presents well. I may upgrade at some point, but it's a card I'm happy to own.



Picked up this 65 Frank Robinson from a net54 member earlier this week. This makes 12 of 19 on my Frank Robinson set.

Oh you know. Just your average day at the LCS. Trade credit from modern stuff and $200 later, and I am the owner of these.

[ASF123]

Wow! How much credit on top of the $200? That’s a nice haul!

[wdwfan]

I had $250 in credit from trading in modern inserts refractors game used etc.. So I spent $450 in all. The Mantle-Aaron, Drysdale and Aaron were $100 each. The Killebrew was $150. I know I overpaid for the Drysdale but it's nice to get a HOFer RC

Yeah, probably a slight overpay for the Drysdale, but you more than made up for it on the others, unless there are creases that don’t show up in the photos. Overall, a great buy, especially given that you were trading modern shiny objects.

A bit OC/MC, but still a bit nicer than my overall set which ranges from G to VG (and some too good...lol) Love adding Campy cards to the binders, something special about them...





Just need one more card for my 54 Bowman set...Mr. Willie Mays...

Some nice looking Franks. Nice eye-appeal for the grade.

Received today. This is what Bill looks like just before his release for time served.

He shall be free. Oh yes, he will be free of his surly bonds that have held him for much too long.
