More From CSA

Here are a few more of my finds at the most recent Collector's Showcase of America show.

 

I picked up this 1960 Topps card of a fresh-faced Don Drysdale for a buck or two out of a bargain bin. There's some wear and tear, no question. But overall, that's a nice card of Big D.

This was the last card I needed to complete my '73 Topps Dodgers team set (HIGH FIVE). It always throws me for a loop to see Davey Lopes sans mustache. In his heyday during the '70s and '80s, no one in the game could surpass the Dodger team captain in terms of mustache supremacy. Those upper-lip whiskers were a force of nature. And let's not forget he was a heck of a ballplayer as well.

I snagged this Carl Erskine for a song. It's a little odd to see a card with a pink border. But it's still a nice piece of cardboard of a classic Dodger.

After meeting Mr. Howard and getting his autograph, I made a point adding a few more of his Dodger cards to my collection. This '62 Topps was my favorite (gotta love the faux wood grain border, which looks like the paneling in my grandma's basement.)
