This is another Grail card I’m happy to have finally acquired after quite a few years! First time I saw this card, I was mesmerized by how there are much cooler things out there besides sports cards. Non-sports cards in my opinion are just so much fun to collect because there’s such a variety out there for each and everyone to find what they love to collect.

Once again, another great music group despite being short-lived with only starting their journey in music in 1965 with a quick break up in 1968. They had a very short reunion in 1971 to make their album People Like Us but broke up that same year just after the album was released.
They produced five albums with their time together and had 6 of their 17 singles make it on the Billboard Top 10 selling 40 million records worldwide! Their most popular song is definitely California Dreamin’ which has over 1 billion streams alone on Spotify!
With with all that being said, this card definitely has a place in my collection for being somewhat of a hard card to find seeing that I’m a pretty avid collector of Dutch Gum cards, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a copy of this card before.
❗️Plenty more posts to come. ❗️

Musical cards is about 85 percent of my personal collection. Music is definitely one of those things that keeps myself and others alive and motivated to continue on the journey of life! I think without music, life would be a such a nightmare.
James Taylor is one for those artists that has a great voice and can calm you down or get you in a better mood depending on your circumstances. His whole catalogue of music is unbelievable and is one of the best artists ever.
I’m glad to have bought and graded this beautiful SGC 8! I have a few other 72 Cantanti’s like The Bee Gees, Creedence Clearwater Revival and another favorite group of mine Chicago!

49 years ago The Edmund Fitzgerald sunk on Lake Superior about 17 miles from Whitefish Bay, Michigan. Every year while on our trip up to Canada just before passing thru Superior, Wisconsin into Duluth, Minnesota, we always stop at a McDonald’s that had a large photo of the Edmund Fitzgerald in their lobby. I wish I had bought that painting last time I was there but unfortunately they’ve remodeled by now so it’s long gone but the legend lives on 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I collected baseball throughout my childhood but started switching to other sports just before Covid. My switch to non sports cards was around 2022 where I met Marc (uncommon_curator on IG) at the Chicago sports spectacular that year. While walking around the whole showroom floor, I noticed that his booth had stuff out of the ordinary stuff that really caught my eye. My buddy Tom and myself stopped to chat with Mark for maybe 30 minutes about all this old boxing, music and movie star cards that he had lying out on his table. Having never seen stuff like this, we were very intrigued to say the least. Not knowing much about most of his cards lol, These mid to late 60s Dutch Gum cards caught my eye instantly! I’m such a music fan that I had to buy these without a doubt. Just how great both the groups are and how vibrant the pink and the green are on both these cards, I’ll never stop collecting them!
