Regionals/Food Issues

Fred----I was in a hurry, natch. So, thanks Eddie for sharing the feature article his Ashburn collection. That's the kind of stuff we need on the postwar board.

My, Fred, "nuts" is the word. Or, preferably, steep----very steep. I wish I had interviewed you for my book on postwar regionals. Chapter 5 concerns the 1962 Salada Coins. The book is not for those who chase "the previously unknown added dot variation", though there is definitely some relatively new research presented. Rather, it will be a rare treat for the collector who has a genuine interest, curiosity, and consuming passion for these issues, and what it was like back in the day to collect them, and moving to the early days of the organized adult hobby, and finally, the complicated and sometimes frenzied world of third party authentication and grading. It's all good stuff.

When we spoke for a minute at the 1973 Detroit show at Troy regarding the '62 Saladas, you told me you'd just completed a run and Billy Pierce was the last coin you needed. Out of curiosity, as I ask such questions, what was the last coin you needed to finish your 1-180 series back collection? I'll bet you not only know, but remember it well. ---Brian Powell

Sweet milk carton! That Koufax is on my "want it but never likely to own it" list.

Thank you!
It hasn't seen much daylight the last 10 years or so, but this thread inspired a posting of it.

+1. Awesome Meadowgold Dairy cards. The Mantle is on my short list. Adam, maybe one day we can go in on a lot.

Sure, you get the Mantle, I'll take the Koufax, and we just need to find Mays and Maz guys to round it out.

I'm in for the Mays.
I have the carton, but need a handcut Mays for the master Mays set.
