Another new year, and another Card Show - I sort of wandered aimlessly from table to table this time, as you'll see there was a little bit of everything.
Fancypants gold leaf serial numbered card ...
An insert set of 21st Century Topps - not shown is Alex Gonzalez, but there's 9 of 10.
See what I mean about all over the place? I generally stick to baseball, but these were the right price.
I think I am going to start a mini collection of Stanley Cup cards.
Of course there were lots of Twins to add to my collection.
I found 4 1969 Deckle Edge inserts, just a few more to go!
I added 7 more to the 1956 Topps Set as well, we're in the home stretch! TwinsFest is in a couple weeks, hopefully I'll be able to find a little more of everything again.
Sweet Toews! That wouldn't be a bad mini-collection to work on.
ReplyDeleteI figure it will give me a reason to look at more hockey than I have been. The Stanley Cup has always been cool to me.
DeleteNice finish. I see you saved the best for last. Congratulations on being in the home stretch of that 56 set. It's my favorite set of all-time. Sadly... I won't be adding that one to my collection anytime soon... unless I win the lottery.
ReplyDeleteThe commons are generally pretty reasonable in the single digits, I've been able to get really far without spending more than $60 on any individual card. Koufax and Mantle are going to break that record pretty hard when it comes down to it, but I'll cross that road when I come to it.
DeleteLove the action on the Barry Sanders and Randy Moss cards - I would think Sanders is often pictured running with the football as opposed to catching it.
ReplyDeleteExactly the reason I picked them up - they were in a stack of football cards that all looked the same. Running backs running, quarterbacks about to throw, wide receivers standing on the line of scrimmage.... Snooze
DeleteI'm a Blackhawks fan and one of my "things I collect" is any Hawks card that has the Stanley Cup on it. Very nice pickup!

The Stanley Cup is definitely my favorite championship trophy, especially the tradition of the players getting to keep it for a day - usually you don't see much interaction after the game in the other sports.
