Where in California did you buy the cards?

Where in California did you buy the cards?

I have not purchased cards in CA in quite a long time. Not sure what you were referring to in this case. Nearly everything I get is via ebay nowadays.

A couple Garvey autos. Chrome /50 and a 60/199.


Got this Banty. He did 2, one LA and one Brooklyn. I can't recall which one I won before, so this either completes the set or I paid dearly for a dupe! These 52s are popular, plus i have to battle other Garvey collectors.


This is my exciting win of the week. 1970 Pepsi Dodgers clinic program. That is cool by itself, but also signed by Sandy Vance, Billy G and Red Adams. I can't get enough of anything Dodger/Pepsi!

very true about the modern day pitchers. I know I will have a tough time getting a Gerson Garabito (debuted a month or so ago) autograph on a Rangers card or custom because he has no cards other than a couple minor league cards.

It's what makes the chase fun though!

/5. I stopped chasing all the variations of these turds and just try for 1 of each different design/card.

Some duplication, which I am actively trying to minimize now.

Another dupe and this one is /5!



Also a dupe, but only /50 and older. These were tough to find.

Lot of programs/yearbook/paper and a Koufax statue to round out the week.

Just one in today, but I am pretty excited about it. This was a lot of 1978 JJH Reading Remembers cards. The set is 23 cards and are oversized (3" x 4"). I would have liked to have a full set just because I like small oddball sets, but these have been a bit of a bear to find and whenever I found any, it seems I lost out. A lot of 11 popped up recently and I went after it a little more aggressively than I have in past attempts, because I am tried of waiting to land the elusive Carl Furillo card. Roger Maris, Robin Roberts, Vic Wertz, Herb Score along with FB player Lenny Moore are probably the only other cards of general interest from the set, the rest likely only appealing to specialty collectors.

If anyone is looking for other singles, let me know. I am not married to the rest of the lot, otherwise it goes into a pile for future collection liquidation.

Garvey /10



Garvey /25. Was not advertised as numbered, let alone to /25, but I knew blue was not the base. Got a great deal


Furillo 53B Au. Dark background for sign, but its there.


Hanley Ramirez /15


Kuo /400


Finally landed a 2nd copy of this set, as I have been doing since 2007. Still need 2 of the sealed 2006 set though, have at least 2 sealed of every year issued 2007-2024. I probably said it with the first set, but the idiot that designed this packaging with a long bubble thast allows the cards to move freely needs to be fired!

Question
How do you display your cards?

 

[Dodgerfan74]

“Back from a trip to CA for some relaxation and sun. Going to need a couple posts to capture it all.”
I thought you meant you bought some cards in California
Actually should have asked “ did you go in California “

Today brings more photos and a few autos

I really don't display much. After seeing card shops with cases and faded stuff, I keep it mostly boxed up. I will go through boxes from time to time, which adds some fun, as I will often forget what I have picked up over the years. I always wanted to do up a room with displays (interior, no windows), but never had the right space. Maybe once I retire, if we decide to move, I can find a decent house with the right space. However, I will probbaly be looking to start moving stuff then too.

I went to Carlsbad on my trip. I actually did pop into a card store I found in town and chatted with the guy working there for a bit, but it is a typical new store. Sterile, pristine orderly displays with mostly new, sparkly stuff, high end boxes, room/tables/TVs to bring people in for games, events and such (this makes places loud and crowded often). No fun, oddball stuff and bargain bins for collectors to look through. i love the old hobby shops where the "old guy" had stacks of crap piled everywhere and shelves were loaded with random stuff that didn't seem to go together. They are great places for treasure hunting and are run by people who just love collecting. The new shops are profit machines, or at least that is what they appear like to me. Some rich guy owns them and sits back and collects the cash as hourly employees tend to the till.
