Curt,

Thanks for the picture. You have two (2) '75 Hostess panels? That's awesome. If you do have an opportunity I'd love to see a picture of the panel up close. I think it's cool that it's in the same kind of format and background that mine is on.

Also, you really messed me up by posting that picture. I went to your photobucket to view and I spent a bunch of time looking through all your Garvey stuff. AWESOME collection!

I noticed an Avalon Hill ad w/Brooks pictured. Is that just a magazine ad or something different? I know I don't have this particular ad.

One of my oddest is the 1955 Masquerade Party Pee Wee Reese.

Justin,

I've never seen this before; thanks for sharing. It's definitely odd and a very nice looking item.

Bob Lemke wrote about these in his blog a few years ago. It shows the complete game which is pretty neat. I never even heard of that show (before my time), but there are some complete episodes on youtube. Would be cool to find the episode with Reese in it if it exists.

I have a version of this game with the Pee Wee and Durocher; there were a couple different editions I think. Adam Warshaw knows a bit more about it all than I do, perhaps he will post.

I might be interested in selling or trading mine as my collecting focus has changed in recent years.

Dave,

I'd be interested to hear what your collecting interests have changed to in recent years.

My main line of collecting now is my Topps type run, which covers all sports and non-sports they issued at retail through 1980, and certain NS Topps sets featuring the more well known comic and underground artists of the 60's and early 70's. I've pretty much stopped collecting full sports sets and have been winnowing them a bit the last couple of years. I also collect Topps corporate items to an extent.

That's cool. I have a few of those, but they're all intact. Kinda makes me want to punch one out for display.

There are four athletes in the set: Durocher and Reese from baseball, and Maxie Rosenbloom and Jack Dempsey from boxing.

OK, oddball? Lately I've been picking up transparency slides for my Yaz collection. These slides were produced by MLB and released to TV networks for use during broadcasts. I own 7 of these and have another one on the way to me. I have noted the year below each slide.

1978 & 79

I'll try to find it to scan closer. My card room is very cluttered now, as i just moved from a room twice the size in the last year. I can't even get to a lot of the stuff still.

The Robinson is an ad pulled from some sort of magazine, I believe. It was in a lot with some others (Garvey was one I assume and probably the reason I bought the lot).

Full disclosure, most of the Sterling jumbo 1/1 patches and maybe 1-2 other high end cards are not mine and were saved for the scans. The bulk of the stuff in my photo bucket is mine though.

My only odd ball so far...however, I do have a mantle piece I'd like more info on. I'll post later on.
