Took a little trip to Cooperstown, since I live only an hour east, I try and make it a few times a year. Love the town, and all the shops, but it takes price gouging to the extreme. I NEVER buy AU's or cards there, usually a few jerseys, and thats it. I stopped by Paterno Brothers, and he had signed copies of John Rocker's autobiography, I wanted to read it anyways, so I figured why not grabbed a signed copy?


On the way out of the store, I noticed he had a Juan Gonzalez Autographed jersey. I had a huge Gonzalez collection, until I got married, and the ex-wife decided she wanted to go back to school, so I liquidated all my collection. He had it priced at $150, I asked if he could do any better, and he went down to $100 (I honestly would have paid the $150).


All in all, it was a nice trip, but the prices of the stuff is outrageous. Nolan Ryan balls are about $125, Pete Rose $150, etc... LCS is better for that stuff, later in the post I tell why.

Now for the mail day cards:
2012 Prime Cuts Souvenir Bob Feller 31/99


2014 Classic Champions Patch Lefty Gomez 37/99


2010 Bowman Chrome Jason Heyward Ref. AU BGS 9.5

2004 Topps Tribute Hank Greenberg bat


2014 Classic Lineups Heilmann,Meusal,Durocher 80/99


2015 Museum Collection Premium Prints Juan Gonzalez 11/25


Now for the LCS pickup's, and a few 2015 Topps cards from boxes I broke earlier this month:

Dale Murphy AU ball
I paid $25, Cooperstown had one priced at $75

Brooks Robinson baseball quiz book AU


1977 Topps Murphy RC, 1960 Fleer Jimmy Foxx,Mel Ott, Branch Rickey singles


2015 Topps Birth year coin Clayton Kershaw 39/50


2015 Topps Birth year coin Cal Ripken 18/50


2015 Topps Heart of the Order Prince Fielder Jersey/AU 3/10


That's all I have for right now, I also picked up some baby clothes for my 3 month old daughter while in Cooperstown, all Braves clothes for her, hoping she wont be like her mother and cheer for the "Evil Empire". Sorry for the upside down pics, photobucket wont let me flip them.

Would the Rizzuto bat card be for trade? If so, I'll try to get some Braves stuff in my organizer.

Nice pickups!

Dude, You're batting .230 on your photo alignment. Not great. And your Lefty Gomez card pictures Lefty Gomez and not the great Lefty Grove as you stated. Awesome cards though. It's just tough doing somersaults to see them. I've been down to Cooperstown three times in my life and can't wait to go again.

I tried to rotate them with photobucket, but it kept going back to the original picture,as for the Grove/Gomez mix up, I'm gonna chalk that up to a long day.

I'm open to trading it, send me an offer when you get a chance.
