My new Colt .45s

Say hello to my new best friends - 1963 Pepsi-Cola Colt .45s. I picked up 7 of these; I don't know much about them except that they hypnotized me! There are 16 cards to the set, but it is considered complete at 15, since the Bateman card was not issue publicly and is, according to SCD, one the rarest '60s baseball cards known. The cards measure 9" tall x 2 3/8" high with top and bottom tabs. PSA has, to date, graded only one card - the Hartman card which is graded 9. I'm anxious to learn more about these cards.

    Very cool M-man. Is the "Toy Cannon" in there? He was a favorite.
    Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!

    Warwick is pretty tough in that set too.
    Nice score Mark.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Callahan - no Wynn and no Morgan, either. I think the biggest star was Rusty Staub.
    Anthony - thanks for the kind words - would these submit as Tall Boys or are they too tall for that?

    Very nice and you will definitely bring out the oddball collectors with this one! I like Rusty Staub - he was a really good player and a mets fan favorite! What do you think about the condition? Worth having graded?
    Thanx for sharing
    your friend

    Hey Mike,
    Yes, they actually are gradable; I haven't yet louped them but the corners are sharp and the cards are very clean. I would expect ex/mt to nr/mt on some of them.
