Ok - a follow up to my last post on the subject (Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions !!! - I'm looking for a third lot of vintage to match it with !)

I looked again at my lot "A" - took it out of the padded envelope .. put the older cards in hard sleves and the newer ones in soft sleeves - some good names in there. i also "found" four 1959 commons in suprisingly good (VG-EX) condition that I got from someone here for the cost of shipping .- so they will be mixed together as Lot A - with my total out of pocket expenses being around $15 if you consider exchange rates and such.

Comments - good or bad - on value for money is OK - or just more interested in tracking value over time.

here are the 38 cards.I'll use the classification mentioned in a post on Era's a while ago.
