I did get some cards other than Virgil Trucks at the show. I had hoped I could grab another Bowman Feller, but I didn't have a lot to spend, and I figured with his recent passing, several of the dealers may have had Fellers going at a premium, so I tried to avoid his stuff at this show. Instead, I got a few random cards. Here they are:

I needed a George
Kell card to go with the autographed baseball I picked up last month. I like the 1951
Bowmans, so I knew when I saw this one, that it would fit nicely into my collection.

Because
Topps likes to mock their set builders, I picked up this 2010
Topps 'card number 661' Stephen
Strasburg by trading the guy in the neighboring booth a Matt Cain auto from
UD Masterpieces. I think it was Masterpieces, or Artifacts. Oh well, tells you how much I remembered having it in my
colleciton. I was able to file
thie Strasburg into my 2010 set, so maybe I can call it complete again. Or should I wait until they issue card number 662: Ken
Griffey, IV.
Hmmm.

Finally, I traded my booth-neighbor a handful of 4/$1.00 cards for this Sweet Spot Brian
Burres Mini Helmet Auto.
Burres was non tendered by the
O's some time ago, but the card still looks sharp. I love the mini helmet idea.
So, there you have it, I got several Virgil Trucks cards, a mini helmet auto, 3 1948 Bowmans, a Stephen Strasburg and a vintage Bowman of a Hall of Famer. Not too shabby. I have one more thing I got from the show that I will post later, nothing momentous, but I will have to wait to get the box out of my car, and seriously guys... it's cold outside, and I'm lazy. So, maybe tomorrow, ok? Haha! Hope you have enjoyed!

I like the Kell card. Great pickup. Wish I had a place to find old Bowman cards.
Nice pickups dude! I have one of the sweet spot cards too and they're definitely nice and unique!
