Picked up another 53-55 Dormand...I sure love these. Sitting at 14, with 4 currently waiting to be graded with SGC right now. This will be a long slow build...loving the challenge. Jerry Coleman...

Sometimes you gotta celebrate the (extremely) minor victory. Anyone trying to put together a real sharp, centered 1972 Topps set knows the pains of finding certain cards that fit the bill. Ken Boswell In Action, from my Mets, is a wickedly hard card to find anywhere near centered top to bottom (and this is the red streak variation). The curve above his name is always found just a hair away from the top border. He was positioned next to the Hank Aaron IA card on the print sheet, so he shares the same toughness in centering as Hammerin' Hank (try to find a centered one!!), but lacking the star power, he is often ignored, but I'm thrilled to land him...
1972boswellia306.jpg Shoulda dusted him off before scanning.

Casey Stengel Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s. Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

Nice Boswell Jolly...I had to check mine...nice and exmt...and OC...
 I gave up looking for centered 72s!!!So...I've learned one thing when subbing for grading...I've learned I don't know sh**. I thought the Hodges card had the best shot at a 6...nope, came in last of the 4 recent 1953-55 Dormand cards I sent in. 4.5. I give up guessing! I bought these raw hoping to get 5 or 6s...so all in all not bad. But...I am happy with these grades considering their age...35% of the set complete...inching along.

I've been adding a few rookie cards of HOF managers. This one is not easy to come by.
