Day 7
This is actually the second to the last regular issue Topps card I picked up. Not sure why it took so long, I guess I just have a hard time paying for a card that is readily available. I'd rather spend more for the rare items. Not high grade, but good enough eye appeal for me. The best part is that it was actually purchased using eBay Bucks (when you used to get a decent percentage on purchases). 1955 Topps Rookie... |

Day 8
I picked up the next item off of eBay many years ago. Great shape with no creases. I have seen a few of these pop up on eBay over the last year. 1962 Post full box panel with 3 HOFers... |

Cool. Is there any limit to the permutations of the Post panels, or are the various groupings virtually limitless?

Believe I have at least 3 different from 1962 - there is 1 that is more "common" - I don't recall which one right now. I only have 1 from 1961 and 1 from 1963. There are definitely a finite number - I believe it may be 3 for the 62's. Someone possibly on here has a checklist of the different box combinations. I also have a complete box from 1962 - will post pictures when I have a chance - that is a tough item!

So the image below at first glance looks like a 1967 Topps pinup. When you look a little closer - it is actually printed on sticker stock similar to the 1967 Pirate Test Stickers and 1968 Action all star stickers. It also is missing a number. I have had it under high magnification and shown it to numerous people - it is not a copy , but an original and no one has been able to say they have ever seen another - likely a one of a kind prototype during Topps experimental days!! I have not had the autograph looked at for authenticity. I have posted it before, but believe it is most at home in this thread. |

That's a rare one there Howard! However, it's only fitting that it should belong to a Mike...lol.
What size is it, and if you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? |

Doc, I am loving this thread. I very much look forward to watching it progress throughout the year.
I have two favorite baseball players-Robin Yount, and Roberto Clemente. Unfortunately, Roberto died much too young for me to ever see him in person. But I read or watch anything and everything I can find about the man. I only have a few of his Topps cards, but when I can start working on my collection again in a few months, I plan on building my Clemente collection. You'll inspire me!

Bill,
Thanks for the nice words! Keep checking in on the thread, only 356 days to go Day 9 Had been trying to track down this next item for a while, purchased it as part of a near set earlier this year. Missing only Skinner, which I'll probably never get. 1963 I.D.L. Drug Store... |

You're probably right Larry. I don't actively search for it, but if you haven't seen it, then I doubt it exists.

Oh, I remember very well what "I" paid for mine - my price was about 45 minutes of crying, pleading, cajoling, negotiating, etc. to get my dear mother God rest her soul to shell out $48 for it (It was listed at $86 in CPU at the time). That card was (and is) coveted! Have plenty worth more $, but that one is still my "most valuable"! |
