Weekly roundup

RIP Randy Jones, read about his passing on the Baseball Card Breakdown blog. He shared some baseball card stories with this blog in 2014.

A few incoming cards this week, starting with some relatively cheap vintage on eBay. This is not one of the great vintage sets, but the generic player on the front has the Mickey Mantle name on it, so it's hard to get one cheap. This one had writing on the back which kept it under $10. 

Any time I can pick up a prewar Yankee for under $5, I go for it. Nothing important missing on this card.
TCDB trade with Twinjim8791. With a name like that, of course I got some Twins cards. That Knoblauch card is a fun hologram. Nice photo on the Baseball Card Magazine photo of Brian Harper, too.
Speaking of magazine cards, Johnny's Trading Spot had a generous giveaway which was heavy on those. Some other cards too including my first 1989 CMC card, and what a card - Babe Ruth!

  1. A. Reading about Randy's passing on Gavin's blog was definitely a bummer.

    B. Nice Mantle... especially for under $10.
