Vintage Pick Up Thread

[Zan]

Arguably the biggest pickup in my collecting career. 1937 O Pee Chee Hank Greenberg, the second most sought-after card in the set behind the Joe DiMaggio. This is the rarest vintage card I own, and I'm so happy to spear a serious whale in my Greenberg master vintage set.

Here she is, in all her beauty.

Another T202 - it mentions Knight as a Yankee in the center section on the back, plus I've added a Walter Johnson!

Some more 1958 Topps variations. The teams have the numerical checklist on the back and are more rare than the alphabetical ones.

I wanted a new vintage auto, so I chose Hal Newhouser.

Very nice additions. I just finished the 1961 Fleer football set last year, as I already had some of the cards I bought when young.

I think that this is the final Yankee related card from this set that I need. Birmingham/Street/Johnson

1963 Dodgers Diary coloring book, unused (uncolored). I bought it for my Don Zimmer PC. The player write-ups are pretty funny. Price of this has gone up considerably from the 60 cent issue price.

I've been hunting for something autographed by Bob Uecker for awhile now and finally found this on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. For some reason he didn't get an auto'd card in the recent Major League insert set that Topps did, would have been so cool to see what they would have gone for. But for now, this one's going to fill the bill just fine!

Ha, love it! Coincidentally I put in an offer yesterday on a copy of that same card signed.

Nice to get a large box in the mail today and go thru my newest batch...

Working on a set?
Those cards had the worst tasting cookies in them (as they couldn't use gum). The cardboard of the cards might have tasted about the same.
