			And, this is the good side of the card.  The back has serious paper loss and some writing.

			Some 76 Topps and Hostess mini's and diecuts.... (AlR-bishop - these are very rare and uncatalogued and VERY AVAILABLE....)  And to keep anyone from stealing my cards "back in the day" some initialed cards. I've got about a 1/4 of a set of 71, 72, 73 Topps with my name or initials on the back.

			Adam, I'm laughing because your beaters look like a lot of my collection. BTW, how did the Bell Brand Snider get so messed up? My Howard is pristine. David N. Jr., I'd take that Chamberlain anytime. |

			Yeah, that's one of my new favorites, and I think it may lead to me adding a little more vintage basketball to my collection.

			I go the Snider in a shoebox collection I purchased earlier this year from the guy who amassed them as a kid.  The collection ran from 1956 to 1968, mostly 1960-67.  I'm working on getting another similar box from him.  More from that lot:

			I have a few postwar beaters to show.  I love both of these cards, but they qualify for this thread.  The Mantle has heavy creasing which isn't as noticable in the scan. Thanks, AndyH .
