I really like all of the cards shown so far this weekend, especially that Ozzie Smith OPC rookie. It's a real bear to find one centered - good job gator! As usual, the cards that Brett and julen show off are first rate!
Here are some 50's era cards that I picked up at a show last weekend...
Dug these out a few weeks ago. I bought a lot of 75's way back in the 80's (400-500 cards, didn't count em) these are representative of the overall conditions. Coming soon to the BST once I compile a list.
Nice cards wheatfield and welcome to the board. Always nice to see a fellow Kansan collector....as your name and avator suggest.
Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Nice cards so far this week...an especially great pickup on the Banks standup cubbybear! I hope that the sig is the real deal!
Nothing new for me lately (I'll have to wait for the Cincinnati Moeller show on Thanksgiving weekend to pick up some fresh stuff), so I'd thought that I'd share some of my 1958's with you all...
Thanks, I'm going to take my son, he'll be stoked to know Joey Votto will be there. Downside for me, I'll have to wait in line so he can get an autograph.
These probably won't be raw for long, as I'm trying to get the energy to do another sub. I've had several 8.5's out of this group, but can't seem to pull a 9. Maybe on the next sub. Either way, these have been some beautiful 56's. Chiti got cut off in the scan, but may be the best of these 6.
The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.
Nick, I can't say for sure that they all share a rookie card with another player or players, but they might. I hope that's not the case because that's not my mystery theme. It could just be a coincidence. I'll give you a hint, though. You are on the right track with your multi-player card theory. Just dig a little deeper.
<< <i>I didnt check them all, but when I saw Baylor, Baker, and Paciorek I threw that answer out there. >>
Those 3 are a good clue to the answer. Look a little deeper, think just a bit harder and you'll get it. I did a little checking just now. I think Rudy May's rookie card is his 1970 #203, on which he stands alone. If that's accurate, then my mystery theme remains intact.
Another hint: The mystery theme of the 1974 cards was inspired by my previous 2 posts on this thread. (The first post on this page and the last one on the previous page.)
<< <i>IN 1971 all the cards, shown from 1974, were horizontal(long shots). (It's not like it took me 187 guesses) Great cards Brett! >>
We have a winner! Michael, you are correct. I tried to include all the players who appeared on solo horizontals in 1971 and were also part of the 1974 set, but I forgot about Jim Fregosi. Most of the cards scanned were from 3-player rookie cards. Those familiar with the 1971 set know that not all of the "Rookie Stars" cards were horizontal. The majority were 2-player cards in the standard portrait format. Through the recent upgrading that I've done I have developed a renewed admiration for the '71 set. It really is a beauty.
Just got back from the show in Cincy, my son got the Votto card autographed, the others were my bounty. Joey was a very nice guy and posed for a pic with my son.
I was at the Cincinnati Moeller show today too fattymacs, and I picked up a copy of the same Killebrew card, along with a bunch of other stuff...I'll try to post some scans later.
Here's some of the cards that I picked up at the Moeller show...
52 Bowmans:
52 Topps:
56 Topps:
I also picked up a real nice lot of 75 Topps Minis - I'll share those next week along with whatever else I find when I go back to the show again tomorrow.
Nice stuff pete, pretty decent selection of 50's stuff from 4-5 dealers. I couldn't dig too long I had my 7 yr. old son with me. I'll say it again Joey Votto was first class. Prices were pretty good for a show and they were willing to deal a bit. I met a dealer with some other stuff I liked and got his info. My kid is still talking about meeting Votto, that was worth the 280 miles round trip alone.
