Picked up some more neat card's

perkdog · March 25, 2008 3:42AM

Nothing special but I do like the artwork in this set.

MorrellMan · March 25, 2008 11:57PM

Perk - gotta agree with you. That was one of the first sets of cards I remember collecting 50 years ago. My favorites then were the egg frying on the surface of Mercury, the diagram of a space ship (because I liked the magenta color) and Dog in Sputnik II cause I like Laika.

Thulnanth · March 26, 2008 2:27PM

I love the look of those 50's and 60's nonsports cards - just a cool "vibe". Thanks for sharing

.

Take it easy,
Jared

Just looking around on the BAY and came across these sweeeet looking cards! I dont plan on getting too involved in the Non Sport cards but these are so cool looking I had to grab a few..

thedutymon · April 4, 2008 10:34AM

Perk,
Really nice cards to us Non Sports guys. Someday my hope would be to put together the War News or one of the other 1930's -1940's War sets, but out of my league, money wise at least for now. The 57-58 Space/Target Moon cards have always been one of my favorites.

perkdog · April 4, 2008 11:58AM

Thanks Neil! I hope to pick up a few more different Non Sport cards here and there. They are definately a nice change of pace from sportscards, I hope to find a few low grade Horrors of War cards next.

Hoping · April 7, 2008 11:31PM

Nice cards Perkdog , i'm also looking to pick up as many Horrors of War cards as my budget can stretch to , it won't be many if i don't give up trying to upgrade the CWN set !!!
I'll have to put the CWN down and move on to pastures new .

Thanks for the scans , appreciated .

War Pictures also looks good , decisions decisions....it's a hard old game , card collecting .

Hoping · April 14, 2008 7:02PM

My first G-Men cards .

Hoping · April 17, 2008 7:51AM

I had my HOW wow today . The reprint set arrived plus my first PSA graded card from this jaw dropping set .
It's by far the best NS set out there . Super colors & attention to detail , informative backs . This set has it all .
I thought CWN was great but this set takes the biscuit .

perkdog · April 21, 2008 7:01AM

Very nice pick-ups! Here is my latest one.. This card caught my eye and I gotta say I really like these President cards!

Hoping · April 29, 2008 6:40PM

Hello to All ,

Just thought i'd share my latest delivery .

perkdog · April 29, 2008 11:06PM

NICE H.O.W cards!!! I need to find a few of these already slabbed ofcourse!

Great artwork as usual!

Hoping · April 30, 2008 7:26AM

Hello to All .

Perk , fair play that's a nice President 7 , clear image with good color . You've a good eye for a great card .

Anyone else picked up some nice cards ?

WinPitcher · April 30, 2008 12:43PM

I just had my salmon back set graded.

this one is among my favs:

Steve

WinPitcher · April 30, 2008 12:49PM

Great looking cards by the way guys.

I also like this one:

yankeeno7 · April 30, 2008 3:34PM

Ahhh Perk...you are dabbling in the 52 Presidents set! I bought a decent lot of the 56's about 2 years ago and got a bunch of 8's...sold them all for very high prices. They have come down a lot since then. I also had a few 7s that I wish I had kept but oh well. I still have a handful sharp ones that I kept. I will eventually get working on them again to build a nice raw set. I probably have 15 still. I also bought a lot of the smaller bowmans too but not quite as nice. They are the same cards. The first few from that set go for some decent money.

Hoping · April 30, 2008 5:52PM

Hello to All ,

Hi Steve , some very nice cards there , well done on the grades .

Lets hope the meteor doesn't strike eh ...well not anywhere nice .

perkdog · May 1, 2008 6:43AM

Steve, I love those Target Moon cards! Very nice!

Barry- I was very suprised when I found out that the 56 President set was identical to the 52 set, like I said I love the artwork and the history that goes with it-I might try to pick up a few more of the 52 Bowmans, they seem less popular than the 56 Topps version for some reason, at least on the set registry anyways.

Thanks for the scans everyone, I really like this thread, maybe we can turn it into the Non-Sport Mail Call thread like Stone did in the memoribilia forum!

Hoping · May 1, 2008 7:12AM

Hello to All ,

Not a card but non-sports related . Issued in 1969 by A&BC gum in the UK .

yankeeno7 · May 1, 2008 11:16AM

I agree Paul, the 52's seem less popular. Are you going to do the set graded? Im just going raw. I just like looking at them. I agree that the artwork and the reading the backs are great!

Hoping · May 1, 2008 9:45PM

Hello to All ,

Just had my submission back from PSA . I'm very pleased with the results , i had my first .5 as well .
Fair play , the shipping time was very very quick .

Mark

perkdog · May 2, 2008 5:37AM

WOW Mark- those are some SWEET looking Civil War cards! Very nice job on the grades!

Barry- for now I will get a few of the 52's here and there but no plans on doing the set just yet- If I get enough I might try to just do the entire set in 7 grade- we will see, I have a hard time going after anything other than Vintage football right now other than a few Non-Sport as you guys know.

Hoping · May 2, 2008 7:57AM

Cheers Paul . It was a nice parcel from PSA .

thedutymon · May 2, 2008 11:30AM

Hey Perky,
You know what they say......You go dabbling on the Dark Side with us Non Sports Guys and you may never go back !!!!!!! Be Careful..Be Very Very Careful...
Neil

Hoping: Sweet grades !!!

Hoping · May 2, 2008 4:03PM

Hello to All ,

Cheers Neil ,

Perk , Neil is right .
You'll get hooked better than a fish on a line . (which is great , we all need new experiences in life)
I only popped in for a cuppa tea (like us Brits do) & look whats happened to me . We'll i popped in because i grew a little stale
with UK cigarette card issues (you can only look at butterflies & flowers for so long )

and needed some ' excitement ' in my cards .
I found it in Civil War News & Horrors & G-Men & all the other gum issues i can't afford

See you on the Dark Side Paul .

Mark

yankeeno7 · May 2, 2008 4:26PM

Well, the Presidents are also a small set...under 40 cards. So go for it!

perkdog · May 14, 2008 11:00AM

Anything new you guys want to show? I just picked up a sweet Civil War News card, the scan from the auction was very bad so I will wait until I have it in hand to post it.

thedutymon · May 14, 2008 12:30PM

Hey Perk,
I'm going to set the Hook, I am going to go to my Safety Deposit Box on Fri. and bring back Two (2) Cards from Two Different Sets. And this is a "Contest" as well. Anybody who guess's One will win a nice Delivered Non Sport PSA Card, Guess both and you will get the first prize and a second of my choice.
So Perk, the two cards will be coming form Two Non Sports Sets, one from the 1930's and the other the 1960's. My sets don't count.
Neil

Hoping · May 14, 2008 6:02PM

Hello to All ,

Arrived this morning , not a great grade (PSA1) but at least i have it in my collection .

Keep 'em coming guys/gals .

thedutymon · May 14, 2008 11:23PM

Good Morning,
Hey Mark, is that the Horrors of War that is the Top Dog card? Even in PSA 1 it must have cost more than a couple of bucks.
Neil

Any others up for a guess ??

thedutymon · May 15, 2008 8:31AM

Good Day,
I'll give it a few more days, lets say until Sunday night I'll call it ended.
Neil

WinPitcher · May 15, 2008 11:46AM

Wow very nice cards here.

Steve

Hoping · May 16, 2008 12:59AM

Hello to All ,

Another card for my collection .

Hoping · May 16, 2008 7:07PM

Hello to All ,

My Postie is busy , slightly (oc) but a nice card , good topic & nice colors .

perkdog · May 17, 2008 9:22AM

Moving right along with those HOW cards! Very nice cards, I have yet to grab one but as soon as I do it WILL be posted here!

Still waiting on my Civil War news card....

thedutymon · May 17, 2008 12:34PM

Mark and Paul.
Please turn on your PM's. I would like to send both of you PM's.
Thanks
Neil

perkdog · May 17, 2008 12:53PM

Hi Neil, my PM is open for bussiness!

Hoping · May 17, 2008 9:53PM

Hello to All ,

Looking forward to that CWN card Perk .

Another Horrors of War , bought from a nice dealer off e-bay .
Nice color & corners .

Hey Perk , picked up any more Presidents ???

perkdog · May 17, 2008 11:35PM

Still no presidents, I saw a group of them on the Bay about a week ago but they all had a "Tilt" to them so I didnt go after them..

WinPitcher · May 18, 2008 2:40AM

Picked this up this week as an upgrade for my set. I had the card in PSA 6.

Steve

Hoping · May 18, 2008 3:55AM

Hello to All ,

Wow Steve , that is a beautiful card , looks like it just came out of the packet .
Lovely borders & pin sharp corners . Well done on the upgrade .

Mark

Hoping · May 18, 2008 3:56AM

Hello to All ,

Hi Perk , i know what you mean about that tilt , it puts you off putting in a bid for them .
I'm sure something will pop up sooner or later . Plenty of time eh .

Mark

Hoping · May 22, 2008 7:16AM

Hello to All ,

should be my last one for the merry month of may ..

perkdog · May 22, 2008 8:51AM

Mark! That is a very cool HOW card! So far my favorite that you have posted, I did get my civil war news card but havnt a chance to scan it just yet. All my cards are mailed to my Parents house, I live with my girlfriend in an area where I dont want packages left in between the two front doors. I will not forget to scan it though!

Hoping · May 22, 2008 10:03PM

Hello to All ,

Cheers Perk , i agree with you , ^^^^ it's a nice card with lots of action & movement . Reminds me a lot of one of the first cards you posted , i think it was from War news Pictures ..just checked , it was WNP card #80

I've been away for a few days and this nice surprise popped through my door this a.m. . I'd forgotten that it was on it's way , hope the wife didn't spot it in the mail box !!
Looking forward to seeing the CWN or any other non-sports pick ups .
This is my last one for the Merry Month of May .

clthames · May 25, 2008 7:53AM

I have a bunch I just listed on ebay... non graded though. Cards are not creased and have tight corners, but the wahoo that had the collection taped the top edges. Not all cards are shown in the listing, but here's a link:

Link

They're pretty neat cards. I like the comic book looking ones better than the old photo looking ones.

Carla

ETA: Link doesn't work so just search for Freedom's War and you'll see my lot (ronnieb)

Hoping · May 26, 2008 9:08PM

Hello to All ,

Good luck with your listings clthames ,

Another HOW card i'm sorry.. (yawn).....just sneaked through my post box before the May deadline .
Nice color & lots of movement .
Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day holiday in the US .

perkdog · May 28, 2008 7:31AM

Mark you crack me up!! I love the "This is the last one for the month" thing

Thanks again!!!! Really nice cards- I apoligize for not scanning my CWN card- the Holiday was a busy one IE: late night/s work with a nasty hangover ect..

I will scan soon!

Picked up some more neat card's
