Hey Rob

Been seeing your Goudey pick ups for a long time. How close are you to completing one of the years(or more)?

Hey Frank,

Thanks so much for asking. I am up to 79% on the 1933 Goudey (SGC 40-80), need just 51 cards to complete the set. For the 1934 set (SGC 50-80), I need 35 cards to complete that set. It has been a fun ride so far!

A few more towards my 1928 Exhibit set. Figured I had better pick these up before Neal added them to his horizontal collection.

ARGHH!!!! Love these, I need them too! Nice cards!

[Orions father]

Thanks! There is a nice looking 1928 Sand on ebay if you have not seen it.

After reading the new Mantle book I developed a new-found appreciation for Mickey and set out to add something "mantle" to my collection. Won this card on the bay. I was told the code on the back was for paper used through 1950 but certainly could have been used in '51 his rookie year. I did some research - Mick's first spring training was held in Phoenix and the ad on the outfield wall for the jeweler is in fact for a jeweler in Phoenix. (that is still in business). So I think I can say with confidence this is from spring training of Mantle's rookie year. I have no idea who produced it (who would have produced it??) but I think it could be significant. Wanted everyone to enjoy this image of Mickey before his stardom really kicked in.

Just received from Brian McQueen. Love the overprint.

Very happy with this nice condition supplement from the Oaks show this past weekend.

If you're only going to get one baseball card in a month it might as well be Babe Ruth:

Definitely well-loved, but I find the background (field along the Gulf coast?) to be amazing:
