July pickups

[G1911]

Only a $4 card, but Brooks is Brooks and he puts me at complete for the first 6 series, still got a lot of highs to get in. 1972 is probably the most expensive set to complete card by card vs. buying a full set, among the vintage Topps base sets.

I skipped my Heritage wax last year due to the print inflation and resulting horrible odds as $ inflation increases cost, but those horrible odds have sunk the secondary market prices and I got a full run of hobby boxes for like half of retail. 3 regular, 2 high number and 2 minors should produce full base sets and a majority of SP's. It's the closest I can come to ripping vintage packs, as nobody is selling 7 boxes of 1972 Topps in my price range. It's a 1972 day! Love the very 70's design. 70-72 and 75 I like, the rest of the 70's not so much.

Two more from the 1952 Berk Ross set that I recently started.

Nice Jay, getting the big boys out of the way first.

Coming out the gate hot on the Berk Ross set— great choices!

Just under the gun for July with this Mays! Probably my favorite card and design of the 50's, the TV aesthetic is very nostalgic and the woodgrain is beautiful, not to mention the iconic Mays photo.

Pretty slow going for my 52 Topps set as I was only able to pick up these two guys. We'll see what next month brings!
