December 2011 Pickups

Iggy, totally agree.

I am not at all into baseball, for me the joy comes from the history of the card itself and the complexity of the sets. From printing press to pack 100+ years ago to end up in my hands. How many people have enjoyed this card, the travels of each one. Equally its about the design and beauty of the lithographs, photos and printing process.

Great pickups so far!

My favorite 'card journey' story was the one Jay B told us about the T205's that travelled all the way from the cigarette packs directly into his hands.

But it would be neat if each card came with a mini-film of its journey, perhaps skipping only the late '70s, just due to the background music.

Yet another great line Scott!

Jimmy, I'm always trying to amuse myself - I require constant stimulation during the long Seattle rainy winters . And I wish I was kidding!
