Roundup

Been more than a month since I did one of these. 

The ever-generous Johnny had a giveaway at his Trading Spot. I really enjoy magazine cards, and hadn't seen football magazine cards before. The style of the old Philadelphia sets is really cool.

A couple of cheap '34 Goudeys, an eBay win. I love the Lou Gehrig Says, to think he was still an active player, and one of the league's brightest stars. The footers match up nicely when lined up this way.

A variety of cool cards from TCDB and OBC's Gunny Musgrove.

Corsair Outfield Trio is an awesome name. Another cheap eBay win. Topps really had a hard time getting rid of the background, you can see it in the outline almost all the way around each player.

Another mix of old and new(er) from another OBCer, Dan Williams.

Kent Goto of OBC was sending out a lot of newer cards. Some big highlights here including a Derek Jeter rookie and a terrific 1996 World Series card. Those were the days.

More from Goto, lots of cards from the 2006 Topps Update set. Nearing completion on this one.  Most poignant is the Cory Lidle memorial card. I was working in the city that day and saw the aftermath of the plane crash, not knowing at the time that it had been a Yankee pitcher on board.

Finally, another cheap but fantastic eBay win. Great looking card, missing absolutely nothing of importance.
