The second to last one needed to complete my '56 set, next and last is Koufax.

Mathews
My 3rd attempt to find a Mathews I like, and this one is a slight upgrade to my latest as I like the color a bit more. Two more '57 biggies inbound this week.

Nice card Patrick. I started collecting, via packs, in 1957, and can still remember the small corner grocery store I bought the pack where I first got this card. I grew up in St Louis and there, of course, had been no Musial in 1957. Man, that was a moment...no pun intended

Thanks Drew! The card looks much more appealing than the technical grade indicates.

She's beat up, but as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

1951 Bowman Cloyd Boyer with Billy Goodman back overprint. What happened here is easy enough to figure out: the front was printed and the sheet was put into the press wrong side up and inverted for the back printing, so it got printed twice on the front and not at all on the back. Now, whether that was on purpose because the front was misaligned and they decided to use the sheet to clear the press I don't know. Still fun to have for my printing freaks collection.

Patrick,
Your last few post of pick up's are right off of my want list. You're killing me. I want the 57 Mays so bad and yours is soooo pretty. Nice card and again, congrats. Drew |

Thanks guys! I was surprised that there were no bids at all. The crease is a bummer but overall doesn't ruin the appearance and its Maris' rookie.

Nice cards Varsity. Bob hardly changed a bit between 61 and 63 :)

Rob - That is one nice 51 Bowman Fox card. Looks far better than vg/ex - closer to ex/mt. does it have back damage?

Gibson
Grew up in St Louis and went to series in 64, 67 and 68. Pink may have lulled some folks to sleep, and Bob did not get off to a dynamic start, but the 59 set was the first one I finished and that is one of my favorite cards

The next time I tell a non-collector friend about my addiction...err, collection, I will now be able to answer the inevitable question: "do you also have a Mantle rookie"? Most people simply don't know who Nestor Chlylak is!
|
Super cool Mantle rookie...Love it!
|
Nice pick-up on the Mantle Rookie, Derek. That knocks off the most expensive post-war rookie card from the list............

Derek:
I'm sure that there are plenty of those to go around. Why don't you let me have the first one that comes up for sale/auction and then I'll lay off the rest......... |
Really like that Mantle rookie card - something about a lot of wear on a desireable card that is intriguing, for some reason. Funny that so many for so long have regarded the 52 Topps as his rookie card,
despite his playing 96 games in the majors in 1951. I've never heard anyone try to claim the 52 Topps is Mays' rookie card, even though he played 121 games in the majors in 1951. |
1955 Doubleheaders
2 Attachment(s)
After finishing the T201 set, it's time to stay in the theme and go with the 1955 Doubleheaders. So far, I have an unopened pack (GAI 6) with Fred Marsh/Thies card inside, the Marsh Thies card (ungraded), Bilko/Milliken (UG), Spahn/Brewer (UG), Aaron/Herbert (SGC 70) and these two that I picked up this month!
|
1955 DHs
This is a great set, both because of the unique double cards and because when you get the whole set the backs form great panoramic pictures. The packs became fairly plentiful recently and there are no surprises about what you have.
I recently found out one of the players in the 1955 DH set, Gair Allie ( pictured with Grady Hatton) still owns a Sports bar here in San Antonio |
Quote:
That's pretty cool that Allie is still around. Not too many of these guys are still here. |

Not the greatest item. Seems kinda pointless to have had it slabbed. But I'm glad it was, because the price was pretty nice thanks to that 3..
