Picked these up on vacation

Went to my inlaws' lake cabin for 4 days this week. One of the highlights is always visiting the card shop up there, because I don't have a LCS when I'm home. Here are just some of my vintage pickups....

This card has a ton of eye appeal. Paper loss on the back means I got it for only $4. I'm not usually a hockey collector, but if I can get a great deal on an all-time great, I jump. The price was right on this, my 2nd Bobby Hull. Next up are a bunch of Exhibits. They all have condition issues, but I jumped all over the chance to buy them at one dollar each. Several HOFers. My son took the 1948 Spahn.

That last one is actually pretty pricey, because his last name is misspelled "McCaskey." Obviously that's not his real signature, because I assume he can spell his own name. Anyway, thanks for letting me share. Not pictured: a nice 1966 Topps Yaz, 9 other Yaz incl a 1982 OPC, 1964 NL RBI Leaders w/ Aaron and Boyer, four 1959 Fleer Ted Williams, and other various vintage baseball incl Rose and Schmidt.

    This thread sank to the bottom too quickly, so let's bump it up. Nice pickups you got there! image I like the pose on the Rizzuto.

    Yeah good atuff. Not sure how I missed this? Same here as far as a local card shop. There are a few, kind of close to me but they aren't any good.

    Thanks guys! The Hull would be a 6 all day long if it weren't for the paper loss on the back. Nice card. And the Exhibits for a buck apiece.... how could I go wrong! I like to narrow down the years, as some of you know, and the Rizzuto is a 1949, which is pretty sweet. I got four 1959 Fleer Ted Williams while up there and just bought 7 more from gregmo, so I'm up to 29 of the 80 in the raw set I'm slowly building.
