Show pickups and a major auto addition

subject to change · Apr 11, 2010

Stopped by a local show this weekend looking to pick up some vintage to get signed at a few upcoming signings. I ended up buying a good bit more than I had planned but most of the vintage cards are in outstanding condition and the prices seemed too good to pass up. The same dealer also had quite a few Pirate autos, though not many I needed. I got the Bonds at a price that was too good to pass up, even though the auto looks a bit off to me. The dealer is someone I know fairly well, and said he got it signed somewhere around 94 or 95. The S doesn't look quite right to me, but perhaps some of the more seasoned auto collectors here could give a better opinion.

All in all, I got 20 vintage Pirates and the Bonds for a grand total of $35, so I think I did well. The Bonds may be heading to PSA just for my own peace of mind.
