There really are quite a few obscure post-war cards. Some that few collectors have ever seen. I'm not talking about the kind-of-scarce but very valuable cards like the 1954 Wilson Franks of Ted Williams. I'm talking about the truly rare and never seen, like the 1946 Sears Postcard of Stan Musial, the 1955 Topps stamps, and others that I've never even heard of. |

Not as rare as the '63 Pepsi Bateman, but the 3 variations of '60 Fleer #80 don't come up very often. I've got a copy of The Trader Speaks from about '73 when they were first discovered. This is the most "common" one, Lefty Grove on the front and Pepper Martin on the back (all #80's have Martin on the back). This one appears to be factory cut, and doesn't have the cancellation gouge that most of them have. |

So, is the correct version of the fleer Lefty Grove the MOST common? |

The correct version of Grove is as common as any of the other 79 cards in the set-in other words, very common. The Grove with Martin #80 on the back is the scarce one- I've seen 4 in the last 7 years. Collins with Martin is found less, I've seen 3 in the time I've been tracking them, with only one Tinker/Martin in that period. |

Nice one Anthony! I started collecting the 60 Fleer set about two years ago and I still haven't seen any of the #80 cards for sale or auction. |

i have had a complete sets of these fleer greats since i resumed collecting in adulthood 25+ years ago. i learned all about the old-timers from these cards (and the ethan all all-star baseball game) when i was a 7 year old and still love them. so anthony,there is no pepper martin front? just the back. thanks for showing, thats the first time i've ever seen one. also it is very easy to get the 61/62 wrapper but the 1960 wrapper is really tuff! any theories why? and also i'll add with a 2k price i guess i will never get card #80. |

Thanks Anthony. I guess I should add it to my ebay search functions. I don't think I would have gone close to 2K, but its worth knowing about when they are listed. |

1966 Fleer All Star Match. The back puzzle, which is said to consist of 66 pieces, is of Don Drysdale. An odd duck of a set, to say the least. |

Here's one that I'm sure some of you have seen. In 1975, Topps issued a set of cards showing the people who usually took the pictures for their baseball (and other sport) card sets. Backs showed stats. |

Other small run Topps sets were issued in the 1970-72 era and, in a nutshell featured contest winners. The set was called "One Year Winners" or something similar. I'll have to find my reference material and post a better description. Topps produced a lot of little sets or single card issues that are not well documented in the 60's and 70's (even 80's) that were not designed for general release. |

Those Topps winners I think can sometimes be found in the Wrapper as they are considered Non Sports in nature from what little I have read. I wish I had one but have only seen them in Wrapper ads (a while ago, not that recently) and never in person. I am also pretty sure they were issued in 1972 as well. More research later today hopefully. |
