Seeing that book reminded me that I found a bunch of 1981 Fleer error cards in my dupes box the other day. If anyone is still looking for any of them, either error or corrected, let me know.

I still love the 1981 Donruss for all the views of Wrigley Field!

Take Care, Geno

1955 .40 each

"1910 Baseball Cards, limited supply, players such as Mathewson, Tinker, Chance, Cobb, etc. $1.50 each.

1964 Topps StandUps - 77 cards for $6.00 / .10 apiece. "Very rare cards: Mantle, Mays, Spahn, Koufax, .30 each.

One thing I'm not sure of: 1956 Topps Buttons and Coins, Our selection - 5 for .25. What are 1956 coins?

'56 pins were a Topps issue, pretty cool one. I think Madec has a full set in his next auction

Anthony and Al,
Thanks. I have about a half dozen pins. Would you know what the coins are that they refer to?

I think the coins part was a mistake- Topps issue cards, stamps, doubleheaders and pins. And possibly the hocus pocus set, although that may be have '54 or '55.
The only coins from that year were Armours, I believe.

Dennis,

Crap! You mean I missed the 1982 edition? Well, at least I got the 1983 version with the "Full Color Collector Card" included!




Geno,

Going through the garage last week I came across eight vending boxes of 1981 Fleer (1-4, 2 each). I didn't know what to do with them either, so I left them right where they were.

Cover, and a young Keith O. Looks to me like his high school yearbook photograph. I hope he's still not wearing that coat! Still has the sheet of sample cards -- best two are Berra as a Mets' manager and Gaylord Perry. Honus ad is priceless, so to speak.

(Anthony - thanks for the additional feedback on the coins.)

I still have the Pete Rose price guide - that was what started me into the hobby after college (and digging out my childhood collection). I also have the OJ one with the card intact, but we don't talk about that.

The oldest monthly price guide I have is a July 1983 CPU (Card Prices Update).

I was going through my old magazines/photos box and came across my favorite magazine, 1970 Football Street & Smith. Here's an ad from that magazine

Paul, that Collector's Quarterly really took me back to when I first started collecting cards as a kid. I completely forgot about it but I bought that magazine when it was first issued.

I don't remember much about the contents but can you tell me if there is a poem by Joel Oppenheimer in it? Thanks,

Howard

Does anyone know what the set of 16 Boxing cards from 1965 refers to in the ad above from
Wholesale Cards?

Paul, thanks for taking the trouble to post those poems. Much appreciated.

It's really not much of a story. Around the time the magazine came out I became friends w/Joel Oppenheimer's son, Nat, although it would be a while before I realized the connection between him and poems.

The family had some neat memorabilia including some seats from the original Yankee Stadium.

Thanks again,

Howard

My pleasure, Howard. Say, those were two pretty good interesting reasons. Thanks.
