THe story goes that their was only 2 bats in his estate and topps bought one of them, but no proof it was game used.
There is an interesting story that the barrel card is still in the wax buster kids hands and is worth 50K or so...

Thanks everyone...
I read about him a little when Buck Oniel was in the headlines recently....I heard of him before, but didn't know much until Bucky news. I am wondering when an EFFA card will be made....i know she has like one card out there, but we need something new for her.

I have no idea. I searched completed, and there wasn't any to compare it to. I did a BIN/BO on ebay. Seller was asking 500 and i offered 305. I have no idea if that was a rip or not, but I liked the card, so i bought it. If anyone else knows what these have sold for in the past, I would love to hear from them. I AM SURE BV is NA...

He has 2 others on ebay, also asking 500 obo, but this is the only one i wanted where it is honoring his induction, and I like this pose of him a lot better than the other two.

Please if anyone knows anything more about these, please share.

Cool thanks for the story. This is the first I've heard about the Gibson cards.

The card shop owner in that story has to be one of the freakiest looking guys I have ever seen. Like something out of Star Wars

Anyone else ever see any pricing on these?

Allen

The odds of him ever having sex are slightly higher than the odds of pulling that Josh Gibson card.

That question doesn't belong in this Star Wars thread. Go start a "Josh Gibson" titled thread or something and you might get some answers

I think i found the bowl he used for that haircut.

haaaaaaaaaaa-that guy could get a spot on star trek as an alien or something, i see the duke in the background pic on a poster,


both of those are sweet cards,i got a buck o neil letter in my negro league stuff, i think gibson died when he was 30 something,he wasnt very old,they are not even sure how many home runs he actually had because they kept such poor records of the negro leaguers

JeremyDie1

Randy he died of the early age of 35. When his career was over some say he hit over 800 homers.

rube26105

wish they would have kept better records-id like to see some of of his,ive seen a few diff ones i think but its been a while-dead at 35,that sucks-he was just a kid

Freaky? I'll say...

I think it's the tie!

LOL, you guys are horrible . . .

You have to try to remember , not everyone can be as good looking as I am .

Just kidding . . . That's me on the Left and stop making fun of my haircut , You have to blame that on my mom .

One of these days I'm going to move out on my own , Just as soon as I find a woman .

And if you think that the hair on my head is funny looking , you have to see the hair on my palms

Congratulations on getting that card Mr.HOF Autos, it's sweet !
