Mail day - 1974 Topps Dave Winfield #456

I picked this Dave Winfield rookie card online up for $7.99 plus $2.50 s/h several days ago and it came in the mail Tuesday - I'm kind of surprised this came in the mail, since I hadn't actually sent payment for it yet.

I picked this card up because I'm hoping to build up a personal collection of rookie cards of mostly Hall of Famers who starred from mostly from the 1970s through the early 1990s - just so I can say, I have so and so's rookie card in my collection and I only bought it for a few bucks here and there [even if the cards aren't going to be in mint condition].

I'll probably get the payment for this card out sooner than later - after all I already have it in-hand and I don't want the seller to wondering where the payment for the card went.

Featured autograph - Dave Winfield

Pictured is an autographed card I got from Hall of Famer Dave Winfield this past Major League Baseball season during a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game - he is wearing an Angels uniform on the 1990 Leaf card and while he is remembered for being Mr. May in New York[and also killing a seagull in Toronto as a Yankees' player], he posted respectable numbers towards the latter part of his career [with the California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins and finally the Cleveland Indians], before retiring in 1995.
