Getting Back into the Groove

 

I've fallen behind on a few posts as I was out of town for about a week so this is a quick post today to show off a few more additions to the collection and get me back into the 'posting' groove.  

I'll start with with this custom card autographed by one of my all-time favorite running backs, Earl Campbell.  I like that Beckett will authentic and slab unlicensed cards such as this.  Whoever made this custom did a really nice job.  It's too bad Topps didn't think to include Campbell in the 1981 set.

This East Coast Julius Erving was purchased at a local card shop which has since closed.  Cool card with a young Bird and McHale making a cameo.

  

This '68 Mantle was found at a local card shop that is still open.  In fact this shop just started keeping older vintage cards and I happened to find this while thumbing through a box.  Other than some corner wear it's in really good shape.

I also found these two needs hiding in the same box.

These cards represent the young and old of Vikings receivers.  Though can you really call Moss old?

Finally I found this well loved 2nd series checklist from the 1957 set.  I already have one but...

I really needed the Bazooka version.  Now I just need to find 'affordable' 3rd and 4th series checklists with the Bazooka variation.

Until next time, happy hunting!
