First, the Recollection Auto.
It's funny - just the other day I figured this is one I'd probably never see. I mean, who bothers selling an Orosco card?

Well, my #70's seller did. He grabbed it in a lot he bought, and sold it to me for $20.

Next up is a steal (in my opinion). Not often do plain patches go for this amount. Hell - regular jerseys go for almost this amount.
For my Wilhelm PC:

Scan is bad, I know.. but this sucker is in a BGS case that's like a half inch thick! I paid $10 + S&H for it! #'d to 10, and it has one of the rarest patches I've seen on a Wilhelm.

The patch on the right is pretty cool/rare:
The year 1968 marked the Susquentenial Anniversary of Illinois’s statehood. The White Sox wore a patch on their jersey to commemorate the historic occasion.

An Aparicio jersey from that year.

YOU ROCK!

Thanked!
No problem. It'd be a cool piece for anyone from Illinois to own. I used this:

to get started, and then googled "1968 White Sox jersey's" to get a close up of the patch.

Both very nice purchases, $30 very well spent.

I'm sure you've gotten a million PMs already so I didn't want to overburden your inbox...but in the rare chance you haven't seen already there is (or was?) a 1/1 DK over on the trade forums.

The Madlock? I saw and was contacted by the seller. I have a higher numbered version of it. Thanks for looking out for me!

$10?!?!?!!? Holy crap Adam, I would DEFINITELY qualify that purchase as a steal! :shock: :shock:

Glad you found the Orosco, also!



Nicely done. :mrgreen:

That's a ridiculous steal on the Wilhelm, and a great pick-up on the Orosco. I wish I still had a Recollection that you needed so I could trade for it.

I've been buying Wilhelm patches since that set came out, and I still haven't bought any of the autographed versions. They're very difficult to find, although I've been lucky to find 4 from the same patch.
