The title says is all. After not being able to attend either the spring or fall shows in the last few years, I was able to make it to the 2019 spring Chicago Sports Spectacular show.
A few weeks ago, I opened a loaded box of 2019 Topps Heritage. The result was about $300 worth of cards (after eBay fees). With the extra money in my pocket, I decided to look for a graded 1955 Topps Harmon Killebrew rookie.
I ended up finding five Killebrew rookies that were PSA graded and in my price range. Near the end of my browsing, I came across a dealer that had a PSA 5.5 and was asking $200. I offered $180 cash and he agreed. Yes!
1955 Topps #124 Harmon Killebrew RC
On my way out I made my way back to a dealer who had a 1956 Topps Harmon Killebrew PSA 4 for $55. I offered $50 and he took it.
1956 Topps #164 Harmon Killebrew
Both of these two Killebrews have been on my list for at least twenty years. I don’t know why I haven’t been able to pull the trigger and purchase them in the past, but this time it just felt right.

Congratulations, those are some big time cards! And congrats on you’re successful box of Heritage, it sounds like you did a lot better than most folks.
Jon,
Thanks! The great box of Heritage definitely made this worth it.
Congratulations on crossing off two longtime wanted cards from your wantlist!
Thanks!
