My recent trades and purchases over the past month. Things have been slower lately, maybe because of the holidays. This year I am going to try to be more active on TCDB.
I've gotten a couple of envelopes from OBCers recently. These three '62s came from Neal Thomas. Two of these players (Lee Thomas and Bob Cerv) had just been traded for each other!
Steve Sankner sent two great 1953 Topps cards.
One TCDB trade lately, with
DSPokecards. Two 1968 high numbers for three modern cards! '68s aren't as rare as some other years but I still need plenty of them.
eBay has been pretty quiet for me lately though I still enjoy the weekly Greg Morris auctions. The more '50s and '60s stars I get, however, means there's fewer deals to be had. I'll probably have to stop at some point but I'm still having fun, even as I shift from Topps set needs to oddballs. At least I'm spending less than I had been.
This was a very good week with a ton of variety including a couple of Bell Brand Dodgers, a set I've really grown to like.
The following week was a little disappointing. I raised my bids on some '65 embossed and the high-number Santo, just to make sure I'd have enough cards to make the $5 flat rate shipping worth it, which if it had just been the three commons it wouldn't have been.
Last week was an improvement though, with a 1939 Play Ball of George Selkirk. So cool to have a contemporary card of a player where the back notes he replaced Babe Ruth. Selkirk was no Babe Ruth but had several very good seasons for the Yankees. I also really like the 1960 blue-border parallel of Frank Robinson. I think the colored border works really well there.
I only picked up one other vintage single recently. Since my Topps embossed set has been growing I decided to knock out one of the remaining ones I needed when I saw it for a couple of bucks.
I see some goodies in there.
