Oh hey guys. I spent a bit more than I usually do at this month's Dedham card show, treating it like my version of the National. Hope you enjoy the pickups!
I went to the 2022 National and this will be my second. It will probably be my last for at least a couple years because I probably won’t travel to Chicago and also to be able to build up a budget. I will say getting to meet all the other content Creators is an awesome and unique experience but card wise , just as much fun can be had at other shows. Flood and White should be in. Great value box pickups. Congrats on the beautiful Doby!
Some fantastic pickups! I agree that both White and Flood should be in the HOF. Love the Flood RC! Love the Doby, that is such a sweet card, congratulations on adding that beauty to the collection.
Thank you! The Flood is really nice and I got it at a good price - $16 I think. There is a small crease on the bottom but it presents really nicely. Glad to have it.
Some great pickups. I went right out to look at the Helmar stuff. I am PC'ing George Washington and picked up the Mount Washington home for under $2. Thanks for sharing the info on that series.
I was there Sunday as well. So happy we have regular great shows locally, Cardboard Promotions does a great job. Cheap to get in and always strong dealers.
I've been going to Doug's shows since I was a kid. He always has full dealer tables, and has been getting some great autograph guests. I saw Oil Can walking around the show before he signed. He was telling people that when he bought baseball cards he'd take the gum, and then just throw the cards out.
Yeah. I need to look in to a good biography about Doby. He was all alone in his league, and that should count for more. The Indians didn't even retire his number until the 90's.
I think you got some great pickups, and yes Larry should get more attention than he does. Did you know the same can be said about Football players one of the first black players was the same year as Jackie, but we don't hear about him.
He's definitely down. The Comps for his rookies are like $1-$2. But I still feel the 2020 love of those rookies. I can't believe that I've never ventured over to Revere's house. I've been a few blocks away in the North End, but just didn't go. For shame!!!
I love the assortment of cards all over the place. Also feel that its very healthy to get modern stuff for cheap after they been around for a few years while most people overspend on whatever is hot right now. All while spending the bigger bucks on older cards that won't lose their value overnight.
