a nice way to start 2015 - 63 year old cardboard obtained!

i bought myself a christmas present - this 1952 topps duke snider card

it was the low-numbered card from the set that i most coveted, and so i went and got it.  i am still a long way from the team set, not even considering all of the high numbered dodgers that i would have to acquire to finish, but i am pleased to own this iconic and beautiful card.

hopefully, 2015 hasn't already peaked for me and my collection.  happy new year!
