    Bought a new computer and have not had a chance to set up my scanner so have not posted pick ups in a bit.

    These two are HUGE ones for me. The first HOF set I started was ‘55 Bowman because it was my Dad’s favorite set. This will be the first Christmas without him so he won’t see it complete. I was missing just Boudreau and Hubbard for a couple of years now. All of a sudden Hubbard in a 7 came up in November and Boudreau in an 8 came up in December (both on EBay) While not huge cards these two are tough to find. Started the set in 2014 - first card was Mathews.

    Here is the group shot. They look so good together!

    Pretty Cool... :)

    Brad…

    Sorry to hear about your Dad. I can relate the missing of loved ones in 2023.

    Gorgeous ‘55 Bowman set!

    Lol. If you got that Ortiz in a recent Ebay auction I believe it was mine. Too funny.

    1984 Purina uncut sheet and a new book were my sports gifts.

    Woof!

    Great group of players on a single sheet, nice pick up. My only problem is how to protect and where to store full sheets.

    My wife got me to the 33 percent complete mark on my 1955 Topps All-American set with this PSA 6 Larry Kelley. Now at 33/100.

    That's Cool... :)

    I received this original Topps comic art from Mike Gidwitz.

    Bought a 1969 Bowie Kuhn from Mike. Exchanged some emails with him at the time - very interesting guy and had a lot of cool uncut sheets.

    So PSA ran their first T3 sized special in a long time ( 3-4 years) recently so I sent what I could afford in
    I had multiple hundreds of similar stuff set aside years ago when T3 was cheaper ($35) but never got around to doing so
    Sadly its gonna cost tons more in this profit first - registry last specials- so that is MY fault not doing so back when I could
    The Archives and Museum are # to 10 . Gonna do more SC and 5x7 when I can afford it and specials get run for T3
    My registry guy Jim gets first shot at my Buehler ,rest are heading elsewhere or PC

    Overall happy until I saw my Nomars from the sub
    I will however show what one looks like unedited and then the two slabs cleaned up
    Hot about it as all I'll say
    Here is what one of the fronts look like UNEDITED

    Now WHY you ask am I hot about it ? Look at the other 5 slabs
    WHY did they change the slab style ?
    And now - my 1999 versions which look like crap do not match 2000 slabs- example below

    Their inconsistencies have kinda become their trademark over the years.

    Havn't bought anything for the PC in a while. Picked these up recently, as prices seem to be coming back down on a lot of stuff.
