Card show spoils

Didn't spend a whole lot on cards at the monthly show this time around.   Just 55 dollars, 20 of which went on the 3 1964 Topps high number cards you see above.  These 3 cards bring the total remaining down to 48, which now that I think about it means that I could realistically buy 1 card a week and be finished by the end of November.

I was able to put a small dent into my '59 Topps set as well, finding 15 more cards at the show that were affordable.  10 of these 15 were only $1 apiece, a reasonable price for '59 commons.  This set is quickly approaching the halfway mark; with any luck I'll be at that point after a couple of more shows.

Keeping up with the finding hockey in the least likeliest place theme, I have a couple of more Leafs cards to show off.  Well, the first one is actually pictured as a  Leafs player...Tim Horton

This 69-70 OPC #182 card was found for a paltry $2.50.  I wondered why I got it so cheap until I realized that there was some pen markings on the back, but it doesn't matter to me because this card is a great addition to my Leafs collection. 

One of the greatest Leafs of the early 90's was Doug Gilmour, and finding his RC for just $2.50 was another great purchase.  Even if I don't put together the 84-85 OPC set one day, this will be a nice addition to my collection.

I also picked up a trio of cards to start some envelopes for some other bloggers.   Hopefully this will be the start of getting more envelopes to the blogosphere during 2016.
