Target Acquired! Kirby Puckett 1984 Fleer Update Rookie!
Woohoo! I set some not so modest goals for collecting in 2016, hoping to find some gems in my price range.

I've been wanting a copy of this card since I was a little kid - The first time I saw a copy in a card shop was probably in 1987 or 1988. I definitely didn't have the money to pony up for it then.
I almost didn't get this one either- but everything came together at just the right time. I would say this card is now my favorite in my collection, and I don't see a contender out there to knock off the throne.

Nice to see Bradley Univeristy (P-town!) get some love on the back of the card.
ReplyDeleteAny chance there is a card out there issued by Bradley of Puck?
DeleteExcellent! Puckett attended a community college about ten minutes from my house, so he'll always have somewhat of a local connection to me.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice! Always a feel good moment to add a 3 figure card to the inventory!
ReplyDeleteThe best feeling was getting it for just 2 figures!
DeleteNice!
DeleteCongrats sweet Card. What will be the next to fall
ReplyDeleteI think the 1948 Rizzuto rookie is most likely, I am seeing a lot of listings lately, and I should be getting a tax return soon...
DeleteCongratulations! One of my favorite Puckett cards around.
