I did do some major additions. Not by and HUGE names or anything (or did I), but sheer VINTAGE.
There's a HOFer right smack in the center. Also Davey Johnson is one of my girls Birthday guys too. So go figure I still need 2 more of that one because of the set build.
A lot more recognizable names here. Notice the "Washington" on Grubb and Jones. Yeah. It is really too bad Topps didn't Cup up every year and for every player a problem they still have issues with in modern days.
Okay a couple of HUGE names here. I have no idea why Ripken was elected to the team in 1982 and in 1983. I always said HA, that will be one I don't get, but I caved.
That is it for the Cups, next time you check out my wants for them they are running slim. I actually may get it all caught up before the year's end, but that is not a goal or anything.
Have a great night.
I love vintage for many reasons, one of the biggest of which are those giant Rookie Cups. Love the '67 Hundley in particular, I'd somehow never seen that one before. (And I just got a COMC order in the mail today as well!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Topps uses that big sucker on it's Heritage cards when it should be using it on it's flagship.
DeleteI will always be grateful I was collecting in 1982 when I pulled both the base set Bonner-Ripken-Schneider card and ordered the '82 Traded set through the mail that included the first solo Ripken. ... Saved me a lot of heartache later.
ReplyDeleteYour breaking my heart, I still need 3 of the Ripken Traded.
DeleteRandy Jones "Washington" rookie card. Nice.
