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.

  3. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
