Let's see some scans!

I sure wouldn't mind. For some reason, I thought Reggie's card that year made him resemble (face/beard) Hank Williams, Jr. for some reason.

It's SO true!

Here's one I've had for 25 years. The man who was traded for Hank Aaron. I have Aaron somewhere hidden in my closet.

You gotta just love all those 1975 card color combos! they are so

(You know? Like, "poo poo" brown with "butternut squash" orange or how about "lip stick/ruby red grapefruit" red with "butternut squash" orange? Or even "whorehouse" pink with "sour lemon" yellow, yikes!)

Ok! Ok! Whorehouse pink? Well, just maybe a bit over the top for all those 1975 macho baseball types?

P.S. But I think we all could have done without that "tangerine" with "squash" color combination! (Boy! I need an alka seltzer just looking at that color combo! LOL!)

Well here's a good color combo:

"Crimson and Clover" Music Video Link

Topps? Well yeah! I like them too!

That one is cool! But I'm partial to the action shots. I heard the 75 set is scarce on action shots compared to the other sets from the 70's.

My favorite's a mini - I traded half my table at a small show for it - I think I got the better deal!

I sent it to PSA last year - and came back a 9!!! I was very happy.

Borrowing a scan off eBay for the moment:

What a beauty! High end nine? Thanks for sharing!

edit: I have an extra $500 looking 4 a home! LOL! (My guess, it is worth 3 times that much, or if resubmitted to PSA, God knows what a 10 would fetch?)

bri2327 · May 9, 2007 12:04PM

Mike,

That Ryan is awesome !

rbdjr1, we can always count on you for a slew of PSA 10's...great cards !!

How bout a trifecta of Munsons..Topps, topps mini, and OPC...

basestealer · May 9, 2007 12:21PM

Who's got an Oscar Gambel to go with Jose Cardenal?

julen23 · May 9, 2007 9:29PM

i guess ALL '75 munson mini's have that slight l/r lean huh? i don't think i've seen very many w/ really nice centering?

really nice cards tho!

any oscar gamble card is gonna be a treasure.

Estil · May 11, 2007 9:50AM

Keep it up guys, and I might just break down and buy me my very own NRMT/MT 1975 set for this Christmas season. It's the only time I'll have any chance to spend the $400-$500 neccesary to get a top grade set.

Pittfan · May 11, 2007 10:51AM

Here is one from my Mint raw set. I should send it in but I have had this one for a long time. For some odd reason I like my ungraded set better than the one I'm working on.

julen23 · May 11, 2007 11:09AM

beautiful aaron rb w/ nice centering. i can imagine how nice that card looks in person too.

i will have to scan a couple more funny photos later.

<< Here is one from my Mint raw set. I should send it in but I have had this one for a long time. For some odd reason I like my ungraded set better than the one I'm working on. >>

Probably cuz it's easier to enjoy in binder/pages, right? BTW, if you are in the mood to sell it come Christmastime, I would gladly offer the full $500 BV if it is in fact MINT conditon throughout.

Also, is it just me, or do the OPC colors look bolder than the Topps colors? Is there a reason for that?

rbdjr1 · May 11, 2007 11:24AM

Can we "show and tell" other 75's?

julen23 · May 11, 2007 11:26AM

Julen, sweet Brett. The Aaron looks alot nicer than the scan, the fuz showed up more and my scanner could use a cleaning.

one of my favorite cards from the set. sorry for the lousy pic-- i don't have a scanner. near-perfect centering, razor corners, awesome color and sharp focus. card looks alot nicer than the image indicates. IMO the tiny print dot at the bottom kept it from being a possible 10..

GDM67 · May 11, 2007 7:31PM

<< Also, is it just me, or do the OPC colors look bolder than the Topps colors? >>

I think that's true. It really noticable in Bri's post when you look at the Munson cards side by side. I have no idea why, other than they usually use brighter white cardboard.

i agree. it's definitely true. i also have a 75 O-Pee-Chee Ryan PSA 9 and the color is alot bolder. will try to get a pic posted. though w/o having a scanner the pics won't do much justice.

another *horrible* image. sorry, i really need a scanner. trust me, the color on this one looks almost dripping wet. bolder and darker than the topps card.

julen23 · May 11, 2007 10:25PM

recommendation on scanners, buy a stand-alone scanner if you have the ability.

combo fax/scanner/printers are ok, but the picture quality from a stand-alone scanner vs a combo scanner is very difft.

i bought an epson v100 photo scanner for $125 and it rocks. it has slide holders for negatives and can manages images up to like 3200 x 3500, which is really nice.

hope this helps!

That Larry Haney card is actually a picture of Dave Duncan.

Interesting. Can anyone post a card of Duncan?
