I have been looking for these the top two cards for literally years. I finally got them today.
If you don't collect test issues, you may not realize how tough these cards are to find. First is a 1973 Topps 1953 Reprints Harry Peanuts Lowrey. There has been one on Ebay for a very long time, but the seller wants $275 for it and I was not going that high. I got mine for considerably less.
The second card is a 1974 Topps Action Emblem, cloth version. They also made a card version. The card version of this card has been on Ebay for a long time as well, but the seller wanted $395 for it. I got mine for considerably less.
The 1955 Topps Wally Moon is actually a Sports Illustrated insert from 1955, which I didn't even know existed until this week. I got all three cards from the same dealer, Columbia City Collectibles (Mike Mozier). If you are looking for the rare and unusual, I would check his site.

I've only heard of one of the 3 - the 73T reprint.
Very nice.
On the Mosiers - I purchased a few things from them 20 yrs ago - they used to advertise in SCD - easy to work with.
Thanx for sharing.

still cool stuff ... thanks for the link.
<< <i>Colombia City Collectibles: he's got some interesting stuff - but his soccer page is really f**ked up with mislabled years and some strange prices ...

I think he's got the soccer stuff in the wrong category. It really should be in the "non sports" category.
Just kidding!
