Anyone like vintage? See HOWE I PLANTEd that seed?

[ChuckNorrisFearsSid]

Quite a mail day today! I'm having an absolute blast with the new vintage projects I have going. The cards are just incredibly cool, the texture and feel is amazing, and they're just, well, cool!

Have a peek at today's mail!





These bring me to 41/60 on the set. Still needing the Howe, which is the big money card.




Group photo op before they went into semi-rigid holders and 4 pocket pages.



I'd had them in toploaders and 4-pocket pages but about 3 weeks into that I wasn't thrilld with how that was working so decided to switch. I think it looks cleaner this way, lays flatter, etc.



Pretty sweet to pick up these 2 old Parkies. The Frank is a 63/64 and the Plante is 58/59.


Those were cool.



HOWE could you top that?




HOWE? HOWE you ask?



Hope you're PLANTEd in your seat!




They're not perfect but they are extremely nice copies. On top left is a 61/62, top right is 62/63, and the Plante is a 58/59. I was really excited to receive these in person. Vintage commons are cool but there's just something pretty special about holding a vintage Plante or Howe card. I have a bunch of sets started of these years so it was nice to knock off a few of the big cards.


Hope you enjoy? If you guys want to see vintage I'll keep posting my pickups and just start an ongoing thread like my Giacomin one. Yes?

Great stuff, keep 'em coming!

Makes me think I really need to get going on my vintage projects. Love that 54-55 set!

 

[ChuckNorrisFearsSid]

Great stuff, keep 'em coming!

Fine, let's just call this my ongoing vintage thread then shall we?





I'll break this out of the slab so I can store it with my other vintage cards of that set. Normally skip graded copies unless the price is right, which it was in this case.


Not enough Howe last time?





I love the backs on the old cards.







This was a really nice pick up. It was a KSA graded card, but not any more, LOL. Old checklists are tough!


These BEAUTIES came today! I can't get over how clean they are!















Enjoy! I am having a blast with this old stuff. Shouldn't be a terrible investment over time either in reality.

 

[ChuckNorrisFearsSid]

I SAW HOWE this thread hadn't been replied to in a bit so....few new goodies for starters:





Love the smell of vintage in the morning, or afternoon...



Now, on to a couple real beauties!

Knocked off two big ones for my 57/58 Topps set project with these two:





Hope you enjoy!
