One of my main goals for the show was to right the wrong of last year where I failed to pick up the 1964 Topps Pete Rose. I had a dollar amount in mind for what I was willing to spend on the card and came in well under that amount. The only issue I see with the card is that the back is a bit faded.
Because I saved so much on the Rose, I went ahead and added the above cards (Tommy John rookie, Roger Maris and Sandy Koufax).
I was glad to cross the cards off of the needs list. Maybe next year I'll hit a couple of the other sets harder.

Congratulations on crossing off some biggies for your 64T set build.
Those had to be satisfying to check off your list. I wonder how the dealers' faces would have looked if you used actual 1964 Topps checklist cards to keep track of your progress, checking the boxes next to Rose and Koufax with a pen as you made the deal - something fun to consider when building vintage sets.
