Check out my cards had a shipping special over Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend. 10¢ a card. So I picked up the 77 cards I’d been storing up since about March, for $7.70 instead of over $22. Well, I had mid-50s, but the $15 I saved on shipping allowed me to pick up about 21 more cards for immediate shipment. And a few days ago I finally got it all scanned. So let us check them out, one scan of one section at a time.
First up, we’ll start with vintage, cuz… why not?
1960 topps Gernert, Hobbie and Cunningham AS, 1971 topps Hoyt Wilhelm, 1975-76 New York Nets (featuring Dr. J), 1968 beat up & used Yaz checklist & Manny Sanguillen rookie, and a couple Gaylord Perry's from the latter half of the '70s..
Just stare at them for awhile. They aren’t all the greatest of players or in the best of shape, but doesn’t staring at old cards just make you feel good? Doesn’t it just relax you and somewhat put your mind at ease, if only for the moment?
Speaking of condition, the Wilhelm is in spectacular shape, impossibly awful centering aside. Smooth surface, four sharp corners, and no creases at all. Can’t ask for more of a ’71. Only the first five are keepers, Yaz and the bottom row are available for trade.
PS: Nobody has guessed the card right yet. Everyone that guessed may try again (on that post plz). We’ll go until someone gets it right.
Until or next…
