I was reading up on the blogs a while back and decided to check out Diamond Jester's Time Travel update. I haven't made a trade in quite awhile, so to find some stock listed in his time travel update was nice. Especially when I was able to find set needs.
These four cards from Topps 1969 baseball set will help the completion percentage.
And this Messersmith from the 1974 Hostess set was a nice addition. I have a few of these cards but not sure how close I am to completing the set. These are tough to find in the wild so my instincts are to get these whenever I can.
Time traveling isn't all I've done. I found this 1952 Chris Van Cuyk unclaimed on an auction site.
And this 1968 Don Sutton was sitting there waiting for me to bid on it.
That's all I have to show off for now. Quick post before I head out of town for a long weekend.

I hope everyone has a great and safe 4th of July!
Nice vintage pickups!
ReplyDeleteNice finds on your travels. Never know what you will find if you look.
ReplyDeleteMessersmith is from '75, and the card was originally mine!
ReplyDeleteSutton wins it.
ReplyDeleteSome awesome vintage here. Anytime you can add a new Hostess or a 52T card to your collection... it's a pretty good day. It's even better when they have interesting background like yours. Messersmith looks like he's in the forest and Van Cuyk looks like he's hanging out on a hill at dusk.
ReplyDeleteExcluding red/black back variations, the Van Cuyk represents the entire run of cards from his major league playing days.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the trade!
