Question about 1971 Bazooka Numbered

bobsbbcards · June 24, 2004 7:42PM

Hi,

I have been under the impression that 1971 Bazooka Numbered cards were a test issue that was not available in panel form. I know the Standard Catalog lists prices for panels, but I have never seen a panel, and other sources seem to agree (auction catalogs) that there were none (only seen as singles).

There is an auction on ebay (1971 Bazooka Test Issue Box GAI 9.5 * McCovey Yaz Gem) right now (Kruk cards, who I have always had good dealings with) for a 1971 Bazooka Numbered panel.

Problem is, I can't see the numbers in the picture. I emailed them a couple of days ago asking for a larger scan of the players and expressing my concerns. Any information would be helpful. Cool item if it is real. Thanks in advance!

Bob

Bob - where would the numbers be on that? I can't tell the difference from the resources I have at hand.

Thanks guys (sorry I did not reply earlier ms, I was golfing!). Thanks for the picture murcerfan. As you can see the numbers are very small and might possibly be there on the scan from Kruk cards, but I can't be sure without a closeup of the players.

I have to think that I would have stumbled across a panel (or box) somewhere over the years that showed numbered cards.

Bob - from looking at a blurry close-up of the auction, it does not appear that there is anything underneath the player's picture that would show up like a number would.

Sorry!

mcCovey is ; no. 4 of 48 cards

yaz is ; no. 5 of 48 cards

and i could not see any writing under color player picture in their (kruk cards) scan.

btw, murcerfan, your card is a miscut, but i guess thats why you have not crossed it over.
or is that another scan of yours, that is not really yours ??

you replied to a thread i had a awhile back, where we were discussing tough, rare bench issues people had.

you replied with a couple of scans of some really tough bench items. everybody oohed and awed and said wow those are really nice
murcerfan. about 2 days later i saw those exact cards, same cut, same color background, everything. they were on an auction site
included in one of their lots for sale.

you asked.

still your friend, lee

mucerfan,
your knowledge and experience in the card world is far superior to mine, and most.
i felt betrayed and wondered everytime i would see a scan of yours, does he really own this ? or is he trying to impress everyone with
a scan thats not his.

whether you know it or not, it is your experience and knowledge that puts you in a unique postion on this board. people trust that you
shoot straight and tell the truth (as you know it).

to whom much is given, much will be expected.

i`m sorry if i misunderstood your replys, but you should footnote your scans or say something.

i always enjoy your humor and cutting wit.

I apologize to you personally.

this board is ready for someone of your knowledge to step to the next level ?

always your friend, lee spies

your heart is forgiving, and your spirit humble.

ps. i really did like bobby murcer, really !

your friend, lee
