Let's play...Name that Card!!!

paleocards

Here's how it works, I'll post a sliver of a card and anyone can submit one guess per sliver. If no one gets the right answer after 5 guesses on the first sliver, I'll post a second easier chunk of the same card, then I'll post the full image (all are PSA-slabbed from my personal collection). Since they're my cards, they all will be Topps baseball HOFers from between 1956-1975.

I'll keep track of the leaders, and the winner will have the satisfaction of knowing that they beat the best and the brightest on the PSA boards (what, you expected to win one of my cards?!?)

Good luck and here's the first clue:

DerekD

1956 Topps Ted Williams

paleocards

Good job, DerekD, you're the early leader.

Here's #11 (a toughie...):

tennesseebanker

1969 Topps Johnny Bench

paleocards

Wow, I was going to ask how you got that one so quickly, then I realized by your sig line image that you must be a Bench collector! Good job, you're in the lead with 4 correct.





Here's #12:

onlyanumber

1965 Topps World Series Game 3--Mantle

paleocards

Good job, onlyanumber, back into a tie for the lead with 4 correct answers.





Heres' #13 (should be more of a challenge):

paleocards

You're good, tennesseebanker, and in the lead with 5.





Card #14:

onlyanumber

1962 Yaz

paleocards

And there's a tie at the top again between onlyanumber and tennesseebanker with 5 correct answers each.


Here's a bonus question: How many bats is Yaz holding in his '62 card?

onlyanumber

3

paleocards

That's right! Looks like two when you're looking at the barrels, but on is obscured over the other (there are clearly three when you look at the handles).





Here's card #15:

tennesseebanker

I would say a 57 Topps Ted Williams, But his hands would be in the pic if it were that card.

Any Hints ??

onlyanumber

'60 Mantle
