The Joy of a Completed Set (kinda)

 My 1965 Philadelphia Football is kinda complete.  The last two cards I needed were Jim Brown and local hero Mel Renfro.  I used to work with a guy who went to high school with Mr. Renfro.

I say the set is kinda of complete, because before I bought these I ordered the other three cards I needed from COMC, I ordered them in late January and according to the website they will be shipped March 3.  This is the first time I have ordered from COMC, is this kind of delay normal?  So now that the Philadelphia set is kinda done I am working on the 1965 Topps football set.  Again I am looking for cards in poor to fair condition.  I found someone today who had one card at the card show.  So I guess it will be an Ebay quest.  


I met up with The Diamond King at the show today and he gave me a Blake Snell card I didn't have and the Bull Durham card featured in a recent post on his blog.  I mentioned that Fuji was coming to town and we are going to try and meet up with him.  Hopefully Gavin will be able to meet up with us also.  

Thanks for stopping by.

P.S. Typically the COMC shipping dates used to be normal like that, but for the last year, they have been on their A game. My guess they will ship out in the next few days and you'll have them soon.

Just remembered that you sent me an email earlier in the week. Sorry it took me a few days to respond. Sure hope Gavin and Kevin will be able to meet up. Look forward to seeing you.

As for COMC... my last two COMC shipments took about two months to receive. That's much faster than a couple of years ago. I feel like there was a time when I was forced to wait five or six months.
