May pickups

Nice Fisks..I have both of those cards somewhere, but not in that condition. I know I opened more 1978 packs than any other year. The local Stop-n-Go couldn't keep them in stock. Here's another 56 Topps..

Like Carl's Fisks, this was technically an April purchase (via REA), but since I don't post much on Post-WWII, I thought I would this time.

I've been after this card in at least this grade for some time- lately, I have missed several copies at lower prices and just decided to bit the bullet and get one- and these have REALLY gone up in price...PSA will have to adjust their SMR.

I did miss out on a cool 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson...maybe later.

Awesome Satchell! I picked one up last year in a PSA 2 that was semi affordable, but I have been very impressed with the ones posted on the board lately. Nice grab.

���� I've wanted this card since I've watched a a show on QVC or home shopping.
I don't remember but it was the dude with the mustache that yelled for no reason. I loved watching that back in the day.

They opened some product they were pushing. But you would get a certain amount of cards from certain years. And they pulled this out of one of the boxes.
I've never seen until that moment.i have tried to buy it at card shows and sellers always want a hundred something to a few hundred. Ebay is a different story!

Great question! I picked it up at a show around 1990 when I was trying to collect Brett's whole career. I don't think the dealer had much to tell me either. Here is the back in case it helps anyone else figure out what it is.

The mystery continues...I thought some quick internet searches would reveal the story behind the card. However, I drew total blanks. And under the assumption the card was issued in 1980 or 1981, it didn't even turn up as part of the "Most Complete George Brett Collection of All Time!--
