Bill, I totally understand. After buying those '65s, a '63 Mantle, and a couple of '53 Bowman Color commons, I have entered the "saving up" phase again. It will be quite a while before I add anything of note. The buying is big fun, but I don't like the aftermath!

Thanks Bill.............and like Brett I had to pick up one of those Clemente's from a fellow board member too. It has not been received in the mail yet but I'll post it any way rather than waiting on the "January Pick Ups" thread.
My card buying budget is busted too. I may make a few small purchases next month, to scratch the itch, but nothing major. Last edited by Hammerin'Hank; 12-31-2014 at 08:13 AM. |

While it's true your Wonder Bread STAR WARS cards are not stained, I handled a lot of them at the time and many were stained. The stains weren't in the form of spots, but rather more of a large area of the backside had absorbed the oil. Someone mentioned the Wonder Bread Football, and I must have accumulated nearly a hundred of those at Ball State. Same problem---stains on the backside. Sure, bread is not oily per se, and most of the loaves would have been delivered, sold, and opened the same day, leaving little time for the baking oil to absorb. But I for one well recall the dozens and dozens of Wonder Breads cards I got in those years out of the bread bags, and they were stained.
Really Shaun, it would be nice if you were successful in contacting Mr. Larocca. He might have some savory recollections to share with you, and then with us. Also, if you were able to speak with a former owner of the cards who got one at the time of their release; naturally that would be sweet. I am not adroit about doing such, and it is your announcement of your final card to complete your Bond Bread Jackie Robinson regional, but why not create a new thread including what has been spoken on this these last few days. I think it deserves its own thread. Maybe something else will come from this that will be beneficial in understanding this rare set. It's up to you. --Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 12-31-2014 at 01:56 PM. |
