Have you ever been so busy you forgot about something really important? That about sums up my week. Between work, deciding on Thanksgiving plans, holiday shopping and other things, I totally forgot about this blog's anniversary. Normally I would have a little fun giving away cards at this point but I'll plan to do a contest around the holidays so stay tuned.
In the meantime let's look at a few recent additions.
These two Hostess cards from 76 and 77 are great additions for these set builds.
I also picked up a '63 Jell-o Manny Jimenez and a '63 Post Don Drysdale.
These four 68's were very affordable.
However I had to shell out $20 for this Whitey Ford, which is in really good condition.
This 51 Bowman Duke Snider also set me back $20. I picked up a lot of these 51's recently and will show those off in another post.
This was a set need and set me back $5.
A miscut Owen Friend from the 1952 set cost about $7.
Three more set needs for my 1969 build.
And a few more for my 1972 set build. This is now about 93% complete. Only 56 cards to go!
This was an oopsie buy. I actually need the Hand Aaron IA, but I guess you can't have too many Aaron's right?
Finally we have cards from Johnny of
Johnny's Trading Spot fame. He had a little giveaway recently and I was lucky enough to land a page of cards.
The highlight for me was getting another Elly De La Cruz for my PC. Thanks for the cards Johnny!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to another year of Crocodile Sports Cards! Thanks for stopping by!
Terrific vintage cards!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the anniversary, and on the nice vintage pick-ups. Feels like it was a quick 4 years over here. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a fast 4 years. Good vintage stuff, I've been eyeing a '51 Bowman Snider myself. Haven't pulled the trigger.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 4 years. Nice cards including a few Twins. Thanksgiving was good with a couple of helpings of fresh snow. Too bad the first round was proceeded by rain and ice. The snowblower didn't like that very much. Here's to the next 4 years!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th, Greg!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th Year Bro. :)
ReplyDeleteNice pickups, and Happy blogiversary!!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage pickups.
I have some Arraez/misc Twins cards I’ve been meaning to send your way, but have been waiting to build the stack a little bigger. When I get back to FL in the beginning of the year, I’ll try to get it out to you.
Congrats on 4 years, here's to many more to come.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through another year.
ReplyDeleteAaron and Ford are co-winners.
Happy blog anniversary!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your fourth! Extra Hank Aaron cards are a good problem to have. Your post made me look at the crazy way Owen Friend signed the "F" in his name - never noticed that before. Looking forward to reading about the rest of your '51 Bowmans.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Great vintage pickups. There was a time when that 60T Ford was near the top of my wantlist. As for John's giveaway... you lucked out with that Magic SLU card. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that it's already been 4 years. Looking forward to more!
