I’ll kick off the new year. Added this to my Steve Carlton player run.

First batch of 2023 cards arrived today.

Picked up this 52 Topps Campy locally...neat iconic card! It does have a pinhole, but I am going to send in to SGC and then decide what to do with it. Just couldn't pass it up!

PM sent, John.

[Harliduck]

PM returned!

Picked up another SGC graded 1953 Dormand card...Scooter! I also mailed out 9 Dormands to SGC to be graded today...up to 20. Slowly but surely making some damage on this set...it's been quite challenging.

Intrigued by this. Was it a show, shop, facebook market, Craigslist, other? We are not too far from each other.

That looks like a copy I would easily add to my collection, depending on the price was to get it of course.

Curt...a local card shop, owner is a friend of mine who saves any vintage buys for me before putting them for sale. He is slowly getting a trickle of 52's in from an older gentleman who opened them in packs as a kid on the east coast, so new to the hobby cards from the original owner. I made a deal with a net54 member and sold it to him for exactly what I paid and now it's at SGC to be graded. It's no longer my card and probably one of those deals where I'll probably regret that later...haha...but super happy to help a fellow collector on an iconic card. Only one I've ever seen or held. I stopped by the shop today and a couple more high numbers came in, I just listed them on the B/S/T for pretty much what I paid. I've given up on 52's considering the Mantle is probably out of my reach, so trying to help others...

Very excited to add this one to my collection. Most I've ever spent on a single card, but it's a goodie!

That's a great picture of the Mick, in full extension after his swing. And it's amazing his record shot still stands after 60+ years.

Great card, John.
I think something like your scenario is the only way I am ever going to obtain one too?
If you decide to sell it, please let me know.

I'm slowly picking away at a graded run of the Topps LL cards from 1962-1984.

[jchcollins]

Stuff I shouldn’t have bought at the LCS this morning. The ‘55 Kaline and the ‘68 Superstars cards are low grade, but within the budget and to me they still look fantastic.

Jim Busby was the last card needed to complete the 52 Senators Team Set

Bump is the Rangers variation for the 79 set.

This card sure is getting a lot of attention lately. My latest pickup!

[CardPadre]

Probably the earliest Mays I’ll ever grab. Super low grade but crease-free. Glad to get it, starting to appreciate the artwork on these early ‘50s Bowmans more and more.

I’m not exactly sure when I became this person. I freaking love this card though. The PSA 5 I picked up today presents like 7+ on the front. Dig those corners. The grade is due to some minor staining on the back, which does not bother me in the least. Buy the card…

Thanks. My favorite two '63's are Koufax and Clemente. I only have one Clemente right now, need to pickup the pace...

Loving the 63's...some of my favorites too...great pick ups!

[Eric72]

In keeping with a "buy the card" theme, this arrived in today's mail. Yes, it's only a 3 due to a surface wrinkle. However, I'm building a '56 Topps set that is in VG-EX or so and this fits right in.

[jchcollins]

Oh, evidence of more money I did not need to spend today…
