Card shop vintage

 Went to my local card shop last week and he just got some vintage in that was in a 3200 ct box.  He

sorted out the Mantles, Aarons, Mays and Clementes etc. and the let me go through the rest of the

box.   I pulled 50 cards, including some "Bob's", and asked how much.  His answer $150, $3 per card.

This post will be the rookie cards I pulled and the Bob's.   All of the cards were from 1952 - 1962.

Some of the Rookies,  next post are the cards that made the $150 seem pretty good.

Garage sales


 There are many times when garage sales can be more fun and productive than Card Shows.  

Sometimes they don't know anything about the cards they're selling or just want to get rid of them.

The hard part is finding the right garage.  Last week I found one of the magic sales.  Here are a few of 

the cards.





Many of the cards were from the 2013 National.

Life with Jackie

 My Sunset card collection got a big boost a couple of months ago with a 1958 Bell Brand Roy Campanella.  That left me two cards to complete...
