Do these CATALOGED cards really exist?

[David W]

I've got about a 3/4 complete Hostess set, and it looks like the brown backs don't start until the 90's. I've got several duplicates with both brown and black writing.

Thanks Adam and David for your inputs. I think I will delete the Golden Press unperforated issues from my want list unless somebody else chimes in. I also think the Hostess issues don't exist in Brown.

Go Cards!!

Randy,

I can't help you out with these but as a fellow Cardinal collector I have a question. How often do you run across a '71 Bazooka Dick Allen Cardinals card? That one has been on my wantlist for several years. I noticed that Topps Vault just sold the negative used for the card on ebay this week.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff, that Bazooka Richie Allen is very, very hard to find. I got mine a long time ago and haven't had to actively search for it, but I NEVER see it, and I search Bazooka, Richie Allen, and Cardinals a lot. Let me know if you need a scan. I have info on almost everything pertaining to Cardinals cards.

Randy:

I typed in that card into the Beckett DB from an actual physical card we had in house. That card does exist, no there is no scan available

Regards
Rich

Thanks Rich, is there any way you can recall what team Grimes was on?

[David W]

Somewhere I've got a big stack of Nabisco's but cannot find them (spent half an hour rummaging through junk).

The 3 Brock's I've got all measure 1 13/16 wide x 3 tall.

I am pretty sure that the stack of Nabisco's I can't find didn't have any oversize ones, if I find them I'll check them.

As a sideline on those, the Brock is the image used in the Sports Illustrated posters of the same time frame, I don't know about the other ones.

I can't speak to the exact player you are talking about, but the brown
ink version does exist. I actually have two panels.76 hostess panel brown version0002.jpg

Thanks for the offer Randy. I don't need a scan as I know what it looks like, I just need the card. If you ever see one and you don't need a dupe please let me know.

Thanks again.

Jeff, will let you know should I see a Bazooka Allen.

David, I believe the entire Nabisco set uses the same photos as the SI Posters. They have the logos airbrushed.

[Rich Klein]

I don't remember for sure what team Grimes was on, I remember those cards, they came from a long-time dealier and those were the only copies of those cards I have ever seen

The O'Farrell may have came from a checklist -- or it may have come from the actual card -- either way I typed in that checklist

The Ohio HOF card was typed in from cards Dr. Jim had in his library.

I'll be danged if I can remember any more details but I do actually remember all three of those cards as extant

I used to own a 1961 Golden Press set years ago and when I attained it I had no idea what it was. I remember it taking me a couple days of research and page flipping in the beckett almanac to learn what I had. I distinctly remember a gentleman at that time had an unperforated set for sale on craigslist a couple hours from my home and I never made the trip to purchase it from him. I thought it woulda been cool to have the two sets side by side, that's the only reason I can remember it. So yes, it does exist - for sure.

I thought I would revive this 10 month old thread to report the existence of the 1975 Sport Hobbyist Stan Musial card listed in the first post. I was the under bidder tonight on this card. Congratulations to the winner if he is on this board.

Wouldn't a card like the Sport Hobbyist Stan Musial that has been on collector's list for years sell more than $54?
