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:

Did someone say postwar oddball?

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.

Fast food table advertisement

1970 Dayton Daily News, 1967 Coke Saver Sheet, 1970 Sunoco Pin Card

absolutely loving it! keep them coming...

1969 Unknown manufacturer iron-on t-shirt transfer

1977 Convenient Food Mart Iron-On. The Cubs lost that Sept. 25th game as part of their second half collapse that year, when I was a heartbroken 10 year old.

1963 Jay's Publishing Picture Pack

1965 Jay's Publishing Picture Pack, even though it has a 1961 copyright.

1974 1-Day Film Service Wichita Aeros Checklist card and Gene Hiser card missing photo

Mid sixties Corn King Bacon and Ham Premium Photo

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.

1977 Autographed Collectors Plaque

1970(?) and 1973(?) stadium pins. Of course they spelled Hooton wrong. I don't think I have ever seen a player have his name spelled incorrectly more than Burt Hooton.

Misspelled 1975 Hostess and 1974 stadium pin Burt Hooton items

Misspelled 1974 Burt Hooton Picture Pack Photo

1965(?) Van Heusen photo of Larry Jackson

1963 Chicago Tribune Autograph Album

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.

Nice Brock.

Something else to add to the want list, I have never seen that.

I love this. It reminds me of collecting and shows with my dad. Im going to post all the oddball I can. This would be a great reference for player collectors.

Those 74 stamp albums are hard
to find. The stamps are plentiful. Anyone know why?

Odd but not peculiar

Topp Rookie Banquet Programs

I think you have a problem Al :)

I am ok when traveling, but when home alone I do get into trouble. Guess I will have to travel more

Not all that odd....

I can't find the 1963 White Sox set to save my life, but I have them somewhere.

The Great Postwar Oddball War rages on to the woes of player collectors

One more
I got this Photo Pack at Shea Stadium when my Dad took me to see the Mets vs the Reds or the Dodgers can't remember which one went to a few games that year

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

Bill Antonello. The only one i own myself.

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.
