I just took some time to go through it and the scans you have up look great. Your comments also enhance the set greatly, especially the comments on the cards that you picked up raw and came back high grade. You have a good eye for quality.
Good luck in your quest for the best set possible.
I think you probably own all the best 59 of each and every player - lol! In that regard, you are either going to have to look for dupes or see if they can add an "11" grade to the grading scale!!! Hope the dry spell ends very soon! Take care.
Nice card Don. My Dad bought me my first baseball glove when I was 9 in 1956. It was a NOKONA and has Chico Carrasquel as the MLB endorser for that particular glove. How do I know this? I am looking at it as I type and recalling those long gone days of my youth. Thanks for the memories!
Very neat anecdote Jim. Most people would have no idea who he was, but as the first Latin American to start in an All Star game he is historically significant
Hello Hello Hello
Guess whos back ? Yep Starting another 59 set under the name cologido.Probably not as strong as the one I retired 4 years ago.Got some nice ones going in soon.Will display when done.
