A post I didn’t think I would ever get to…I present to you 1964 Topps card #125, Charlie Hustle himself, Mr. Pete Rose 🌹 With this card we have completed the entire run of Topps All-Star Rookie Cup cards (to date 😎). I say “we” because I couldn’t have done this alone. 🧵
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to @BaseCardsRule From providing me with 4 complete years through your eBay store to your series of posts last year, you were the catalyst that started it all and showed me it could be done. 🙏
And now on to my “Cardboard Crack” dealers…They say “It takes a village to raise a child”. Well, if this collection is my baby, and it is, you are my village. I have surrounded myself with the best that X has to offer and I have been richly rewarded.
From early opportunities to grab cups before the posts go out to tagging me when I missed one, I truly appreciate everything. I can’t imagine all the work that goes into stack selling, and you folks make it look so easy! You never fail to deliver the goods.
Some of you may not have provided a cup card per se, but you certainly are a huge part of my overall collection in general and if we use the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon rule, we can get to a cup recipient pretty easily! 🤣 Thank you again to everyone, it’s been a hell of a journey.
