More buys, more sales

Picked up a few cards amidst the drama this week.
I decided to start a New York Yankees Retired Numbers set this week, in honor of my friend Tom, who does the same thing. Started off by buying a nice shiny 1984 Donruss Mattingly in a PSA 9 holder that looked like it would cross to SGC, and a 1967 Topps Elston Howard in an SGC 92. If the Mattingly doesn't cross, I'll find another one.
Then I decided to start a Lena Blackburne player collection. Lena was a weak-hitting nobody who discovered Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud, the stuff they rub on baseballs prior to every major league game, as well as most minor league ones. Harvested from a hole on the Jersey side of the Delaware River, the Rubbing Mud is really cool - looks like chocolate mousse. I started with a Topps T205 Buyback of Lena, and will try and pick up each T-card back combination as well as the few other cards of Blackburne that are out there.
Also upgraded my N172 Keefe - hope to have the new one before Thanksgiving.
Sold off 13 of my 15 PSA Goudeys and got very strong prices on most of 'em. Sold off all my W502s (the reason this blog started in the first place, heh) but a few. Still to come - two more Goudeys and my old N172 Keefe.
Happy Thanksgiving, if I don't talk to you.
