    Silly me, this is a sports cards and memorabilia forum. With answers like these I am shocked that ALCOHOL doesn't show up anywhere yet.

    I guess technically mine would be:
    1. Dunkies coffee and bagel (onion w/chive CC)
    2. the (68) 73 OPC baseball PSA 8s
    3. Egg McMuffin meal
    4. bag of chips (single serve)
    5. Roast Beef sandwich (cheese and extra sauce)

    I was so happy to finally get this one out of the way. I went with what I think is a nice PSA 5 even though I typically buy PSA 6 or 7's for 1967. It was hard to justify paying over a $100.00 for 11th regular issued card of Brooks even if it is a short print. I am very pleased with this purchase and it fits the condition of the other cards I have from the year. I try to keep a tight budget and this card suited it nicely. I purchased this one for $89.00 shipped.

    I went to the lake this weekend and came back to a pile of eBay wins. So depending on how you look at it, meaning I kind of bought the eBay items before buying/paying for stuff at the lake, and paid for the eBay items this morning, so I will choose the eBay stuff.

    TJMAC, I am curious what this checklist is and how you determined which were key cards for you? I have toyed with the idea of collecting the "key" card from every Topps football issue, but there are some years where I find it difficult to pick just one.

  • TJMACTJMAC Posts: 864 ✭✭
    Those 57 Yankee cards are beauties!!!! Thanks for sharing. I haven't done too much with the 1957 set yet, but look forward to start buying the key cards soon. They are quite pricey even in PSA 5's.

    El Snorto, I posted the following response on the show your collection thread last week:

    "Good question. First off, I count only regular cards of the players, no combo's or All Stars unless it is a rookie i.e. Carlton, Niekro, Sutton etc. The only exception would be the Pete Rose and Stargell from 1963. I am sure I will give in and eventually buy them, but they are such ugly rookie cards I have a hard time justifying forking over around $400 for a Rose rookie.

    Then I include all the major stars - Mantle, Aaron, Clemente, Koufax, Brett, Reggie etc. Then the minor star Hofers such as Billy Williams, Sutton, Perry, Niekro I would rotate theircards each year to stay under 30. I have pretty much all their cards in the 60's but in the 70's I am missing one here and there. Once I complete the 30 for each year, I will finish the Fleer and Donruss issues up to 1985 and then will eventually work my way back to Topps and Bowman pre 1955, which will probably take the rest of my life since I buy only PSA 5 and higher in the 50's. I may even expand a bit to finish my run of Perry, Williams, Sutton, Niekro etc and even add some of the new and future Hofers i.e. Rice, Sutter, Gossage. Who knows I may even branch into 60's, 70's and 80's Football, Basketball and Hockey. I will definitely stick with buying the star cards and limit my complete set building.

    I started with 30 because that is what fit in my display cases and it seemed like a nice number to encompass all the stars from each year. It is really cool looking at all the great players from each year. It is like viewing little pieces of history and really takes you back to that time. It is also neat seeing how the big names changed over the years."

    Basically, the key cards are determined soley by me based on how good I thought they were and how much I liked them as a player. Of course they had to be a superstar player no matter how much I liked them. So, a guy like Dave Stewart who is probably my all time favorite pitcher is not part of the 30 key cards. However, I chose Steve Garvey over Jim Rice and the early years of Dale Murphy 1977-1979 over a player like Dave Parker (except for his 1974 rookie). It really is pretty subjective that is why eventually, I will probably fill the rest of the missing pieces in once my initial run is done. It was a lot of fun deciding what 30 to do each year. I really can't believe how much progress I have made over the past 5 or so years I have been doing it. I now have cards I never dreamed of owning as a child. I was thrilled when I got a low to mid grade Mickey Mantle as a kid, now I own 11 different Mantle's!

    Thanks,
    Terry

    Matt, can't believe that you actually PAID for a cat. They are free everywhere. Just leave out some food, one will come by and boom, you have a cat.

    Wait a minute, I know, the word "cat" is actually a fill in for a banned word here. Remember you wife reads this board, be careful man! image
