A couple of hockey HOFers from early 1970s Topps sets are always a good pickup...the Ullman is the first Leaf card from the 71-72 sets that I own. 50 cents was well worth it.
I figured I'd throw together a scan of some of the other cards I also purchased from the same table for 50 cents apiece. The Aaron is very well loved, but at 50 cents I just couldn't say no. I grabbed quite a few 71's, 73's and a few 75's from this table, the only "oddball" was the '72 Killebrew IA card you see below.
Yes...all were 50 cents apiece |
A '69 Steve Carlton in damn good condition....and no, it wasn't 50 cents...
At $12, this was the priciest card for me at the show...well worth it |
Some more '64 cards that feature McCovey and Yaz...as I mentioned the other day, I was able to snag a few of the league leader cards from the '64 set at good prices, I believe that these 3 cards cost me a total of $12.
Another nice find for me...this Piniella RC set me back $8.
You can't tell me that it doesn't look like Sweet Lou spent too much time in a tanning booth |
All totaled, I spent a little over 6 weeks of my budget at the National, but the cards that I added to my collection included a lot of great finds at some pretty sweet deals, so I really can't complain.
Besides, what else was I going to do with my bonus check from work anyhow??
Thanks for reading, Robert
You had me at the Dionne card... Nice bunch of cards. Especially that Wes Parker card, err, I mean the Garvey card.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe Cobb's career BA? yeah... not going to be beat any time soon. I can only think of a few people who have hit single season that high in my life time!
I can't believe you don't have more '71-72s! That and the 68-69 are my favorite sets.
