Lemongello?! I love the name. You can't make this stuff up!

Mark Lemongello was kind of nuts, and not in a good Mark Fidrych kind of way.
They don't mention it in the article but I remember his teammates on the Astros saying that he was trying to bite his own shoulder in the locker room after a bad outing.
Not seeing any needed Red Sox in 10, I picked up a few 9s to 'hold me over'. (9's don't get a picture. Haha).
#83 - Bob Montgomery #320 - Fred Lynn #567 - Dick Drago (This replaces an 8 that I've had for years. Now to find a 10)
Red Sox Needed: #63 - Don Zimmer #125 - George Scott #208 - Leading Firemen #245 - Rick Burleson #345 - Luis Tiant #373 - Jim Willoughby #416 - Jack Brohamer #424 - Red Sox Team #457 - Bob Bailey #482 - Rick Miller #572 - Rick Wise #597 - Steve Dillard #642 - Denny Doyle #645 - Mike Torrez #670 - Jim Rice
Here are 9s I have, looking to replace with 10s #40 - Carl Yastrzemski #83 - Bob Montgomery #105 - Reggie Cleveland #155 - Butch Hobson #216 - Mike Paxton #270 - Carlton Fisk #295 - Bill Lee #524 - Bernie Carbo #545 - Bill Campbell #567 - Dick Drago #720 - Fergie Jenkins
Thanks....it feels good to be "less than 20" away. If I can track down the several cards that actually exist, I might be able to work on purchases/trades to move a few closer. Beyond that, I'm at the mercy of the unopened material still waiting to be sorted and graded....only time will tell. My thanks go to the entire '78T community for working deals with me to get the set so close, though. Regards, Hatch
The 1978 Set was the first set I collected. The 1956, 1959 and 1965 sets are dear to me as when I was in high school, around '84 or so, a friend's dad found these cards in the Chicago trash. He was a garbage man there. He brought them home and I traded for many of them. I ended up with all of the '56 commons, the '59 commons and the '65 stars. On my short list is a rookie Steve Carlton. I don't have any of these raw cards anymore but look at the graded ones all the time. I'll replace that Carlton with an '8' sometime (soon!)
The Nolan Ryan is flat out the holy grail. Good luck unearthing one Hatch. Just a couple or maybe just one (I don't remember) of my cards are in your set
I stopped collecting cards 5 years ago. Just no time at all to do it right. My humble 78 set is entombed and has not been touched since.
I am surprised that Palmer received a 10?? Just saying. >>
It's a little high but the bumper at top is casting a shadow that makes it look worse than it is. >>
What I see in this card , that stands out , is the lower right hand corner . I kinda scratch my head when I see a " 10 " on the outside and a corner like that . Nice looking card , no mater how you look at it.----- Sonny

Hi guys. Both Todds (Jim and Jackson) became available within the last four weeks. When it rains it pours. Still waiting for Nolan Ryan to show up, but quit holding my breath long ago. Best regards, Hatch
Okay Gentlemen, I am on full begging mode! I only need 4 more 1978 cards to complete my set (mostly 9s). I am willing to accept 8s and up for the 4 following: 112 Astros Team, 456 Ruhle, 606 Pirates team, 675 Johnstone. Can any1 help a brother out? I'll pay any reasonable price, thanks Henry
I've got the Ruhle and Johnstone cards for you. Send me an email at hgraham3@yahoo.com with your address, and I'll send the cards out to you. Good luck with the others. Regards, Hatch

I'll apologize in advance for putting my "Want" list here, but I am in search of a PSA 10 Braves team card from both the '78 and '79 set. There are 16 of the '78's out there, but it continues to evade me. Thanks and I've enjoyed following this thread for a while, even though I am not tackling the entire set.

Thanks for the nice words.....sure appreciate the support. If anybody knows how I can contact GuyerR (#28 the 'current finest' list), please let me know. He's got a Pop 1 Nordbrook card I'd sure like to talk to him about. His set-up doesn't allow email contact. Best regards, Hatch
Keep an eye on his set to see when he adds another card. If you can trace the sale back to Ebay you might be able to get some info from the seller or get them to pass a message along.
From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo. ~WalterSobchak

Hatch,
A very beautiful set indeed. Be sure to have "Moon money" if and when a pop (1/0) Nolan Ryan shows up.
If I were you, I would contact PSA, (If you have not at this time) regarding contacting this Guy. They can send an E-mail to him with your contact info. If he is interested, then maybe he will contact you. The worst thing that can happen is that Cosetta says NO. Or the Guy says NO.
Good luck with your set. It is truly amazing to see you get this close.
BTW, beware that I'm coming after your set and the #1 position...I currently have 2 PSA 10's and counting...
Guys, can somebody hook me up with the most recent 78 pop report? I have been out of it for so long I think I'm gonna move my humble set. I can not envision ever getting back in the game. I started this thread so I left my mark that way lol
Be careful buying '78 wax boxes on the bay as there are 3 empty boxes w/all 36 wrappers & gum which were just recently sold. Guess BBCE's prices just went up some more on this stuff.

Just what we need...more resealed 78 boxes on the 'bay...imo this is a real disservice to those who collect this set and search unopened product for mint to gem mint cards.

I love the leader cards. I'll just go with liking all of the sub sets...
Looking at the stats on back, Ryan & Seaver were close to being on this card. I wish!
Nice paint job...
