Maybe a little silly, but just picked this one up. I'm going to add all five versions to my collection. (Base, Tiffany, DS, Micro, OPC). Would love to track down any more Evans cameos, but this might be the only one.
So I have a self-imposed moratorium on buying Dwight Evans cards for the rest of the year as I try to pursue some other life goals. But I did commit to buying any of the basic Topps cards I didn't have if they happened to pop up in 10s. That would be 1973, 1974 (no 10s yet), 1975, 1977. And just my luck if one didn't pop up right as I had sold off some other cards that didn't fit in my collection, giving plenty of extra funds. This is a really big acquisition, as an upgrade in my Basic Topps Master set, and being my birth year. Can't wait till it arrives.
Not to hijack your thread, but I recently got my 74 Topps Evans PSA 9 that I've wanted for a long time. Long term plan is to crack it out, meet him at a signing, and get it back in an 8 or 9 holder. Time will tell.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Very nice card of an underappreciated player. I have been a sox fan for 35 years now and saw Evans play for years. Can't imagine a better fielding right fielder

You should have your new one for your set very soon...
Unfortunately, word from PSA is that it's not eligible. But still glad to have it.
Today's pickup. Looking forward to opening this one, getting it in a slab, adding it to the master set composite.
Always puts a smile on my face when this thread updates.
Thanks! I pretty much update for you alone. :-)
Even though Dan comments the most, I'm sure I'm not alone in the group of others actively following your updates as well
Correct. You are not alone. Enjoying the passion of these player set collectors.
Thanks,

Not a big Dwight collector, but I did pick this up today at the White Plains show since the price was right. Nice back centering too!
That is a sweet pickup, David!

George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Dewey is one of my all time favorite Sox. What a rightfield cannon ! Guess I never noticed this thread before, keep up the good work.
