Some cards from the 60s. This is part of my run trying to get a baseball card (loosely defined, ie. 1914 B-18 Blankets and team photo packs in the 40s) from every year going back to 1900. It’s been fun and a great way to learn about how many interesting sets are out there.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Roberto Clemente. A giant on and off the field. I don’t have many Clemente cards (yet), but I do have these 4 as part of my Hank career run. They’ll all be upgraded at some point, but these cards won’t go anywhere.

It took me about 41 years to finish my Hank run. I picked up this SGC A this spring with a big assist from my friend, Matt Felumlee at Cardhound Vintage. He’s now here on Mantl…give him a follow. I once won a free spot in a Burl’s Break in a Cardhound contest and landed a 52 Bowman Yogi! Matt has also helped me land some of my favorite Cuban cards, including the Lucas Boada I posted here. He’s a good dude. Cardhound is a cool site! Check it! @Cardhound

Eric Davis was an all-timer when he was healthy. 5 tool guy. Who knows how many steals he would have playing with today’s rules. Saw this at a card show today and couldn’t resist. I think a lot of us on here have dupes of his 85-90 run…I know I do!

This is a large folk art sculpture of what I’m pretty sure is a turkey vulture. We don’t know the maker, but bought it from a fella in Nashville who picked it up in Georgia. Regardless, it’s a beauty. I love the rough hewn body and the old marble eyes. It weighs a bunch! I had it seat belted in the back seat of our CRV all the way home to Bloomington from Nashville (it startled me more than once!). We found the old box with the blue stripe at an antique mall in southern Illinois. I think they were meant to be together!
