Pickups from a local show.
the 52 Cavaretta leaves me only needing Mays and Boyer to finish 1-310. A 53 Groat with the Black Text variety, almost finished that variation run. a tough 1950 Bowman no copyright. I had a 51 Rolfe but it's trimmed, needed the 52's for the cream stock variation run. Some out of focus 57's including a red tint Dick Williams (1957's come in multiple obvious tints) that were $2 a pop. 61 Larsen was $6, 66 Jackson was $75. I hate the 66 Jackson, it's rarity reputation is a myth. The stack of Post's were $1-$2 each. The Trodden may or may not be autographed, but 50 cents for a Washington maybe signed seemed worth it. The 1911 Obak was $20, which is pretty good I think. |

I was pleasantly surprised to find this one.

Two of my favorite players in decent mid-grade for fairly cheap prices. Couldn't resist.

An out-of-plastic experience...
I can't remember a time when so many ungraded cards were regularly appearing in monthly pickups threads. What a beautiful thing!!! Graded card prices are getting more and more ridiculous by the day, so it seems a lot of us are finding good buys in the non-plastic world, as well as in downtown slabville.

I like 76T's - they remind me of the 61T's. And Eck has a Clint Eastwood thing going.

I'm only needing three from the '52 low numbers, and Mays and Boyer are two of the three. I think I'm a day late on the Mays.

Just added this sharp 6 to my Topps era HOF pitcher project.
26 down, 14 to go…

You and me both sir. The Mays is now outside the range I consider reasonable for a second year Mays, even though he's my favorite of the post-war stars. Boyer is in one of the SP rows, I haven't wanted to pay $25 for him but I'm about to give up and just get it.
