Alrighty then. What is on the table tonight?

 Sorry about the mix up last night with the posts. (I had just got back from Ormond). So I will be quick, but in reality this post is a set up for a future post to watch out for.

I grabbed the Snider autograph and the 59" Mantle from Eddie at the Feb. Jax card show. I don't buy much from him these days, but still I have know him for a decade and felt time to knock out a big name (in lesser condition of course). Eddie and I came to price and wham. It may not be purdy, but it fills a hole in the 59' set. Once upgraded (down the road) I can relocate it this one to his PC. 

Now what the heck was I leading too? Well, another buddy dealer had some "junk" he wanted unload (maybe 8 monster boxes so I took them off of his hands for $75.00 and although not something I do very often half went into the trash. The other half is good stuff, but it is football and basketball primarily. I did get a handful of keeper baseball cards out. But I am mentioning this because buying that set up a bigger deal. Doc (this dealer) from the Ormond area had bought a fancy binder (with zippers) full of 50's vintage baseball, 95% was 56' Topps. The cards range from 54-56'. I got a really great deal on the entire binder. They are not mint, and certainly no Mantles or other super stars, but there were stars in the mix. I got a handful of needs and will explain what I mean by needs when I post it. Yes, I am doing a post on basically the entire binder over 200 cards vintage doubles that before I put them in my OCT trade boxes, I figured I would see who wants to trade for them here. So be looking for a catchy post title coming soon. I was going to wait until next week, but I may just knock it out Friday (that is a hint folks).
