Thanks for sharing the photos of the 4th Series sheets. I suspected that their had to be a 22nd "double print," and the photos nail it down. That said, I agree that there is little likelihood that...

1957 Topps 4th Series Double Prints?

I recently started to build a 1957 Topps set and I'm confused about the supposedly scarce 4th Series. I found a couple of online checklists that show 21 cards from that series as having been double...

My (modest) white whale - 1955 Spic 'n' Span Spahn

This is the item that I've most wanted to add to my collection for the longest time. There always seems to be one available on eBay, and this time a really nice one appeared.

1953-54 Marshall Merrell Milwaukee Braves Sketches

Is there any way to tell the original issues of these sketches from the reprints? I ask because I read a reference to a 1990 warehouse find of reprints of the sets of 25.

I was on my way to grab a scan of the Dodger Sluggers when I saw the Klu. Then I thought, "My favorite Clemente is the '57." Now I can't decide.

I think they look great in four-pocket pages in a binder. I find it easier to appreciate them this way instead of in a stack of top-loaders.

Like many of us, I once had a large card collection, but sold it off -- in my case, in two large divestitures in 1997 and 2009. A few years later, though, I found that I missed collecting and wanted...
