I had a blast picking things up on COMC during their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year, and luckily for me that included a bonus $20 shopping spree plus another $5 free for shipping 100 or more cards in November. A nice number of those cards went to traders and readers like you, and I've been glad to see people posting and showing them off!
Speaking of posting and showing off cards I have just four for you to see on this blog, but there'll be a bunch more over on TMM. Here's what I bought:
This is a quartet of 2002 Fleer Fall Classics HOF Plaques I needed towards the set I'm building. I originally debuted this set
back in April after I picked up a huge chunk of it from quarter and $0.50 boxes at a show. Before November I still needed eight cards, so now I'm missing just four (
as seen on my baseball wantlist): Ruth, Gehrig, Musial, and Ozzie Smith. With just a few days left this month I doubt I'll finish it before 2015, but that's ok since it's literally the only set I'm building right now!
I definitely ended up with a pretty nice group here, and I believe I landed each of them for less than $3.00. As with the rest in the set, these are serial-numbered to the year each player joined the Hall of Fame and have a die-cut HOF plaque-like design with text on the front and back. As I continue to promise, once I land all of them I'll show off the set in its entirety--fronts and backs!
Well, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and that the good cheer lasts into the new year! I'd call my own holiday so far good, but is it plaque good?
Congrats on the progress. Looks like a neat set.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gavin. I'm now just three cards away, though of course they're pretty much the most expensive ones, but I'll be showing the whole thing off one way or another as soon as I can.
