I was pleasantly surprised when it came back as an SGC 8. Nice to be lucky sometimes.

Beautifully printed card - Tough to find without centering issues and that dang white line at the top

It really is. I was very happy and fortunate to find it. It sure is a challenge to find nicely centered cards from that 1970 Topps set. I like the simple design of that set and I think they look pretty nice in SGC slabs.

Grabbed another one up of Gerald Staley on the cheap.
These slip through the cracks occasionally, it seems.

Good end to the month here with this pickup, the 1967 Tom Seaver rookie card. It wraps up my Tom Seaver Topps base card run (plus the ‘72 and ‘82 In Action cards).

Great card, Michael. I remember how excited I was when I picked up that card.

Thanks, Dan. I was indeed very excited to pick this one up.

All of these are being added to my trade box. So they are available!

Went yesterday on my off day to my LCS, and I picked up the Mantle. Went back today after work, and I grabbed the rest of the set. Adding it to my trade box.




And some $1 box pickups from the Dallas Show.
The creased Clemente is part of the set above. It wasn't a $1 box pickup.
