Talking Post #50000 - Hey There, Vintage Boards

For my 50,000th post I felt like showing off something you don't know about me. You likely know me as a prospector who buys and sells modern minor leaguers. But recently, I decided to branch out and buy graded vintage HOFers. I don't have a very large budget, and so I'm buying 6's, 7's and 8's (maybe a 9 if I get lucky) with good eye appeal, especially centering. Being from Illinois, I am specializing in Cubs and Cards.

Here are the first of my purchases. I'll add more every so often. And will I keep these for a long time or flip them? Even I don't know that. Yet.

6's are nicer than most of my collection

I'm on the lookout for a 55 Topps Banks but I haven't found the right one, yet
