It will definitely be crunch time.
Luckily, I've been making some good money. I have a fund for my XBox one + game + headset filled. I have a "card fund" that allots me so much per month. I find myself buying baby stuff like I WAS buying cards - so it's all working out.

AHHH well that's good that you have budgets and you stick to them Adam.

*sigh

I'm anticipating a call from the rental agency to tell me when I can move in... Still so much work that has to be accomplished. I'm only about a fifth of the way through packing up my collection.

So I've heard that the '64 Venz's have so much paper loss b/c they were supposed to be pasted in a book put out by the company. Notice how I said company. I've always thought something was foul with those things...

Only 1 of my 3 has minor paper loss.

What I have always been told is that kids/collectors glued/taped/pasted them into photo albums.

Let me do some research. I pretty sure there is a book that was issued for them to be pasted in. I have a 64 Mantle that is so nice, except for the paper loss. I've heard a theory that they were produced, in South America, by an ex Topps employee( in the 60's) hence the inferior paper quality grainy photos. I'm not saying they are reprints. Not at all. I just don't think Topps knew about them at first.

You have to have less than 100,000 Andre Dawson cards total

I do not qualify, so sad

I would be interested to hear more.
