1963 Pepsi Colt 45's John Bateman. I've spent 20+ years looking for this one.

Al,
According to the 2008 SCD catalogue: "The John Bateman card was apparently never distributed publicly and is among the rarest baseball cards of the 1960s." |

Right now my white whale is the 1957 Topps Brooks Robinson RC. I am down to needing 5 for the set, and this is the big dog. I only buy graded if forced, and there are not that many examples of mid-grade (4-5) out there, and there is not much that is raw. My focus is now on this card...

Um...yeah...that is one I would take...
Great card Mint...A third of my set is exactly that shape...sharp and a bit off center, including my Mantle. The rest is in that 4/5 shape with a few fillers. I like my sets to be consistant, so I should be looking for cards like yours...thanks for the drool...but pocket book (wife, lol) will keep me from that one! haha.

Still searching for a 1960 Shopsy's Frankfurters Jack Kubiszyn. Other than him I guess a 1966 Columbus Yankees Royal Crown of Jim Brenneman
