Scoring From the Neighborhood Dealer

So I crossed another NBA legend off my want list.

1972-73 Topps #75 Jerry West Front   

I wanted a photo of him shooting obviously.  But I settled for this un-Logo-like pose.  


Then I asked him about his baseball packs, hoping for either cheap junk era or reasonably-priced pre-junk era.  The former wasn't happening.  I bought one pack of 1981 Donruss for $3.  Not sure how I feel about the price, thus only one pack.  It's their first season, which adds a bit of historical umph, but no Diamond Kings. 

1981 Donruss #18 Joe Morgan Front   1981 Donruss #473 Jim Palmer Front

1981 Donruss #17 Omar Moreno Front  1981 Donruss #383 Jose Cruz Front

1981 Donruss #416 Dave Lopes Front  1981 Donruss #427 Leon Durham Front

18 cards.  2 keepers.  4 traders.    

The 39-year-old stick of gum is now the oldest I've had.
