Don't know why it has taken me 57 years to own one.

Fantastic pickups starting with the FRobby and going back to the HR Derby FRobby (I had to catch up on the past few pages)

chompin to buy something!

Nice Robinson! With that pose and the spring training crowd in the background it almost has an "in action" feel to it.

Very nice pickup.

I was thinking that this picture was taken in Seals Stadium in SF where the Giants played their 1st 2 seasons before moving to Candlestick in 1960. Many of the Giant player's, as well as some other NLers, cards have Seals Stadium in the background on their 59-60 Topps issues.

I know these are not baseball but they are just too cool not to share. Got these in a trade from a fellow member. They remind me of drag racing from when I was a little kid.

Ben, I loved those cards as a kid growing up! One of my favorites were " Way Out Wheels " cards as well.

Seeing your racing cards brought back a flood of memories for me! Good times!!!

I almost picked those up myself due to the same thing.

I can't remember with a 100% certainty, but I am pretty sure I owned Drag Racing or NHRA cards at one point when I was pretty young.

Love the old school drag racing. Saw those too, great pick up. Wish I had picked up more of those packs as a kid.

Not to diverge from the current thread topic - but the gray backs will be the issue. I have 11 of the key mid-series 60. I've always always wondered why some are so rare if they were printed in near equal numbers.....

Don't know how I missed these?

Good question, ZW? I'd like to know the answer too.

Thank you Dale...

Here is a link to a previous thread discussing the 52 grey backs. While it does not discuss reasons why some GBs appear to be SP, it speculates which cards are SPs:
