A HUGE Vintage Roy Campanella Pickup
Snagged this bad boy a while back from the Bay. I was really surprised it stayed under the price of a blaster, and I was stoked to win the auction. I may have overpaid a bit on it, but at the time I thought - and I still have no qualms over it - that the price was right for the good condition the card is in. Regardless of whether I shelled out too much dough or not, I'm thrilled to add this wonderfully awesome card to my Campy PC, which still needs a post it can call its own.

So, is it available for trade? I hear Julie has a 5 year old piece of gum available...
ReplyDeletejust kidding, nice pick-up
Cool! Although I am not a big fan of landscaped card design, this one works so well. Nice 'get'.
ReplyDeleteSweet card! The '56 set is a classic for sure and this is one of the reasons why.
ReplyDeleteThanks gents.
ReplyDeletedb- It might take two pieces of gum. Maybe three.
For less than a blaster? No way you overpaid.
