RE: Standing PC adds ... my vintage whale has arrived
That's a Beauty of a card, Jared! Congrats! Killer looks like such a little kid in that pic! Love the card and love Harmon! Class act, great player and deserving of much fan love! Plus, I think he had one of the top 10 nicest signatures in MLB! ( I still need one!) ... And he's on one of my favorite cards from my childhood!

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Sadly he was done playing before I was born, but he was a part of the broadcast team for the Twins when I started watching. And ESPN used to show reruns of "Homerun Derby" all the time. I've wanted this card since then and I was finally able to score one at a great price.

And I love that '68 Topps ... had to get one.

Thanks. Sadly, I've just been kind of sitting here staring at it all night. And I wish I was actually lying.

Not as exciting as my Killebrew RC, but another piece of vintage, some more color and an Arcia gum stain SP.

RE: Standing PC adds ... my vintage whale has arrived
Here's the goods from today's mail.

More draft color, Arcia blue back and my first '15 Donruss buys (might have to splurge and get a box of this):

RE: Standing PC adds ... March 14 additions
Really good mail day today - a lot of color (yep, even more Twins '14 Draft). More than I even expected. Some PC and some trade bait.

Sano: Silver Ice, Purple Ice, Green Chrome and Blue Wave, Berrios: Green and Black Wave, Cederoth Black Wave and a Trout '81 Donruss.

This was my $8 Korea lot. It took almost 7 weeks to arrive, but it turned out even better than I thought it was - Minier /50 and Pinto /35 (PC), Simmons /75, Brinson and Morales /25, Gordon /`50, Minor /99 and Garcia /99.

And thanks to hofcollector (aka Matt) my babies are able to have top loaders that fit without me having to drive 2 hours round trip to the LCS:

And, it's not cards or even sports, but this also showed up today ... a little pre-birthday birthday gift to myself for my other burgeoning collection:

RE: Standing PC adds ... if this is a case of the Mondays, I'll take it
Nice evil 'green lantern' Batman!
Great card pick ups, too! I guess ordering from Korea is like waiting on a redemption from Topps, except the cards from Korea actually show up. Smile
