1954 Bowman Ed Mathews

I made a last minute trip to my LCS last Saturday for the 3 o'clock auction and boy was I glad I did. Even getting there about 10 minutes late I still walked away with 4 items from the auction, for less than $8. There were only 4 other bidders. usually there are at least 10.

This 1954 Bowman Eddie Mathews set me back $3.


















I know it's in rough shape, really rough shape, but I still love it and for the price, I couldn't say no.

Let me know what you think of my $3 purchase.

I'm also curious to get your thoughts on Eddie Mathews. I feel like he doesn't get a lot of hobby love. Just curious as to your thoughts why or if you think he gets the hobby love that he deserves.

    I think he's the only player to play for the Braves in all three cities. That makes him cool in my book. Nice catch!

    Uh yea, three bucks for vintage Eddie Mathews? That's a no-brainer, right there!

    Here's what I think: I'll give you $5.00 for it, lol. But seriously I would like it

    Inconceivable! an absolute steal of a beautiful card. Mine is not quite so nice, but I still love it.

    Eddie, one of the top three third basemen of all time.

    If I ever passed up a deal like that, someone would be checking my pulse. That's a super bargain!!! He deserves to appear in more high end issues.
