Adding More Vintage

 

Hard to believe fall is already here but summer's don't last long around here.  Already I've seen overnight lows drop into the 40's.  Brrrr!  But I can't complain because just a couple weeks ago it was nearly 100 degrees.  The onset of fall also means my outdoor activities will be slowing down soon and that means I won't be falling behind on posts.  So here's a quick update on a few more acquisitions.

This '62 Maris was hard to pass up, but when I received it the back has a tape or glue mark like it was ripped out of a book.  That wasn't in the description.  It's still a nice place holder until I can upgrade.

Back-to-back Maris cards.  This '60 Sport Magazine AS card fills a need for my set build.

I picked up a '57 Kuenn for $5.  Even though I've completed this set it was hard to pass this up.

These were not cheap additions but both cards are solid with no creases.

I also added a couple of decent Hostess cards.  I'm not trying to complete this set yet.

Ok, not vintage but heck $50 for an Akeem rookie?  Yes please.  This has a dinged corner in the upper right but is nicely centered, which is difficult for this set.

I also picked up a box of 71's for my set build.  Over 100 cards for about $30.  There will be a few upgrades here and a little trade bait.

Speaking of vintage here's a question for the blogosphere.  I have my sights set on two '56 Jackie Robinson cards that are about the same price.  The question is this:  Would you buy one that is PSA authenticated but altered (probably trimmed) or buy a loose version but it has a lot of wear and tear including creases?  What say you?
