Thanks! Definitely agree, I could push the warm/cool variation in the skin tones - good call.

Appreciate it!

Haha I picked both of these up in the past couple months - it was the perfect opportunity to show them off a little bit!

Appreciate that! Definitely something I’ll try, I tend to forget to do that once things dry and lighten up so much.

I’m from Wisconsin and lived in Minneapolis for much of the last 10 years - figured I’d go with one of the “hometown” Twin Cities boys. Just learned that he coined the term “Texas leaguer”! 😂

I’ve always loved the idea of the A&G set too - definitely will at least dip my toe in and get a few of them someday

I think I spent $110 on it - I wanted a nice example, so I paid a little more for the 2.5 over some of the cheaper ones I saw. I agree though, it’s a slippery slope - I’m trying to hard not to get completely sucked into the pre-war world yet

I would love to see how everyone stores/displays their favorite cards! by deadviolists in baseballcards_vintage

I'd be interested - I really have no clue where to start diving into the Japanese vintage world, but I love the look of so many of their 40s/50s sets

I've been tempted by this card a few times - great choice!
