I posted this in the PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thread, but I wanted to post to the board at large. A gut-churning, bitter, galling defeat demanded some vintage retail therapy.
Years ago when I got back into collecting, I only collected vintage. The past several years, I got so focused on the newer 'retro' sets (Heritage, Turkey Red, A&G, etc.) and my Butler collection that I seriously can't remember the last time I got some nice old cardboard.
A few days ago I picked up a couple of T206 Brooklyn Superbas in rough shape for a pretty good price. These should be here tomorrow (hopefully):
Around 10 minutes ago I splurged for this little beauty - it'll be the nicest T206 I've got once it gets here:
.
After the three arrive, I'll have 16 of the 27 Brooklyn cards in the T206 set. I think it's gonna feel real nice to touch some new (to me) vintage. They're going to look great with these - can't wait!
