Tax Refund Treasures

  I filed early and got a decent tax refund so I decided to buy a couple of more vintage cards for my PC. First up is this lovely 1957 Topps Al Kaline that fits nicely into my vintage Kaline collection.  It is now my oldest card of him.  Since I'm not a fan of the oversize Topps cards from before 1957 it is likely to stay my oldest Kaline. My collection was missing a Goudey card so I picked up this card that checks that off the list and is an addition to my vintage Tigers collection.  It is now my second oldest baseball card. A big thank you to Medina Sport Cards in Medina, Ohio for having these two great cards at good prices.

Stimulating the Economy

When I got my $600 stimulus check in January I decided that each time I get some extra money this year I will buy a couple of vintage cards for my PC. I started by looking at some Warren Spahn cards for my Milwaukee Braves collection. I already had this 1958 Topps And this 1961. In January I found these: That's a 1959 and a 1961. The 1959 is the B variation. Now I just need to find a 1960 Spahn to complete a nice 5 year run. I have a great Mathews run but I need to work on my Aaron collection as the oldest one I have is  1962. Next up will be my tax refund card purchase.  Then, hopefully, I'll find something from the expected stimulus check.
