post-war guys...your oddball items?

kinda taking jason's copernicus card post and starting it's own thread...

do you collect any other oddball stuff, baseball or something else completely off the wall?

i do a search for "white whales" looking for baseball cards every once in a while and have acquired a few items that i thought were cool or artistic:

I love the oddball stuff from this era. There is so much of it to keep player collectors chasing. Here are some of my favorites.

The 5x7's are Jay's Publishing Picture Packs, the one with Banks is from 1963 and the one with Santo is from 1965. I got them on eBay years ago for surprisingly cheap, each less than $30. The Banks iron-on transfer is from 1969, no idea who the manufacturer is but is was no doubt a Chicagoland regional issue that was meant to be put on t-shirts.

I'm surprised these aren't catalogued as a set. I don't see them in either the Standard Catalog or the Beckett Almanac. Since the Tribune still has it's archive availabe for free, I'll put together a checklist for these.
---------
I've posted about the set on my blog. The checklist can be found here: 1963 Chicago Tribune Autograph Album

I also went ahead and compiled the checklist for the 1980 Sox & Cubs Scrapbook. That will be posted in a couple of days.

1973 Reprints

It is worse than that. There are 3 wrong guys in the "set". That is not Carl Furillo.

I have never heard a definitive explanation of the purpose of that issue or a good theory of how/why they could get 3 of 8 cards wrong

1979-80 Cubs Basketball Team poster, too large to get in one scan. It's signed by Steve Dillard, Ron Kunde, Dennis Lamp, and Bruce Sutter, who are pictured, and by Tony Garafolo, former Cubs team trainer who is not pictured. Interestingly, it is also signed by three Chicago Bears players of the same era, Tom Hicks, Dennis Lick, and Doug Plank.

I was always puzzled why they didn't include Steve Trout, who was their second best starting pitcher that year. When I noticed that DaClyde mentioned that the Chicago Tribune Archives were now online, I figured I would try to find out exactly which days these were printed. I found the four sheets that I have which were printed on September 5, September 7, September 13, and September 19, but lo and behold, there was also a four card half sheet printed on October 2, which included Trout and three other Cubs. So now I have to search for those four along with the July 4, 1980 Chicago Tribune page with the Rick Reuschel/Britt Burns Scrapbook photos.

I really like this thread, but haven't seen any items displayed lately so I figured I'd add one. I personally enjoy looking at all of the odd-ball stuff!

By the way, if anyone knows what this picture pertains to I'd like to know. Was thinking it may be something used for a shoe ad since the sneakers definitely look out of place on the field :D It would also be a possibility for First Federal as well?!?

Al,

On the Bobby Grich piece it looks like they're meant to be cut out; is this the case? Those are all cool items by the way.

ALR-bishop

Tribute sheets

The cards on all 3 could be cut and are standard size, but the Ashburn sheet is actually perforated so the cards could be popped out

The Grich and Ashburn are listed in the SCD Standard Catalog under Topps issues, but not the Rypken

Mark70Z

Ashburn sheet

Hmm... If they were perforated and meant to be taken off then why would they put the cartoon player w/in the area of the card? Looks better as a poster ad anyway.
