Default Sandy Koufax Collector/Collection

I've decided to embark on collecting Sandy Koufax memorabilia up to 1980. As a kid growing up he was one my all-time favorite left-handed pitchers. I have all of his Topps issued cards. This is becoming a costly project if you know what I mean. I would prefer to trade or buy on the cheap naturally. I have plenty of cards for trade.

So, what I'm looking for are all Exhibits, pins, postcards, team issue photos, coins, stamps, APBA, or basically all odd-ball stuff of Sandy.

If you have anything I might be interested in let me know and I'll see what I can come up with trade/money-wise.


Cheers,
Kent

Hi Kent,
Here's a true oddball Koufax postcard I would offer for sale. It's a C.1960's Souvenir Shop Team Issued card of Sandy Koufax with a factory misprint. Let me know if you're interested.

If you want a very, very tough one, try to find the 1962 Post Canadian Cereal Koufax 7 ounce Grape Nuts Flakes version, with "walks" spelled correctly, rather than "wzlks" (what's a "wzlk"?). You most likely will have a very long but inevitably rewarding search should you find one.

Best of luck,

Larry

My very first vintage Koufax was quite the oddball. It was a 1961 Topps mini that I picked up for $2 (!) at my very first card show around 1980 in L.A. Very exciting for a ten year old kid!

A few years later I learned someone had simply cut the border off the card and it wasn't a mini at all!

I'd suggest you expand your collection up to 1981. There is a cool TCMA card of Koufax as coach for the AAA Albuquerque Dukes that can be had pretty cheaply.

There is a dedicated cadre of Koufax collectors out there. We like random stuff

Count me in as another Koufax collector. I doubt I'll ever get the Test Disc or Punch-Outs. Those are awesome. Here's mine (minus a few changes since the pic is a couple years old)...

I have a fairly substantial collection of scored programs, including 222 of the 397 regular season games that Koufax appeared in.

This is the July 24, 1955 game versus the Braves where Koufax made his 5th career appearance, all with no decision.

Hank Aaron also hit his 35th career HR during this game.

Kent, I wish you the very best in your pursuit of collecting Mr. Koufax. He means a lot to some collectors, and the prices of his items prove it. Devote some quality time researching what may be had, and decide what you really want the most before you spend your money.

I must say Fred's 1963 JELL-O box is a dream piece for a Koufax collector.......

As one who is essentially "out of the game" of vintage collecting, my advice may be irrelevant, but it is usually a good idea to select pieces that appeal strongly to you, make you smile and feel glad you bought it every time you look at it, or think of it. It is wise you wish to pursue the regional / food items, since those often have intense eye appeal, and are special in having a built-in rarity, as Robert Edward Auctions founder, Rob Lifson, once described them to me.

Do strive to have fun in your venture.

All the best, Brian Powell

Fellow Koufax collector here, wow some of these rarities are awesome. I just started picking up Koufax in November and slowly working on the basic run. Plan is to branch out to other odd ball stuff later in the year.

Nothing high end on my part, but would love to grab some low grade Venezuela cards at some point.
