Hobby Card Collectors Catalogue Jan.1, 1963
This is a bit off topic but I know some members enjoy seeing things from yesteryear. This periodical is made of quite high quality stock and fairly large, at 8 1/2" x 11". It has 24 pages including fronts and backs....and I picked a page to show some pricing....The Instructions on "how to order" made me smile...

The mounted sets are an interesting item. Has anyone ever encountered an album such as these?

I love how you could get a '52 Mantle for $1!

There is no mention of the condition of the cards offered for sale. I guess at a buck apiece for 52 high numbers, you can have a little flexibility.

I also love the old school "Planetarium Station" address. Makes me want to play Bobby Darin's 'Sunday in New York' and grab a Checker Cab down to Toots Shor's.

I guess since none of my cards are A1, they would have been destroyed or sent to an orphanage.
Dave, Good question on the mounted sets...they must have gotten some takers on tha promo...it would be super cool to see one of these albums!

Brian, Very intuitive on your part. Are we talking Russian dogs during the recent Winter Olympics or Babe Ruth? (trust me, I am both a canine and Babe lover).
Otherwise, the '51 Topps Red v Blue back pricing has me curious. Reds really have all the Stars, Blues are almost an afterthought. I guess the Blues were just not as common(?) The sort of "We have the world's largest..." type of promo: Same as then, same as now. |
