<< They have letters that repeat in there last name. ie. two 'I's" two "T's" etc. >>

Nope. Szotkiewicz defeats that theory.

Edited to say: To clarify, I thought you meant they all have two sets of repeating letters. Sorry for any confusion.

CARDSANDCOINS · May 16, 2009 4:00AM

They all have 10 letters in their last name

ymarea · May 16, 2009 4:05AM

<< They all have 10 letters in their last name >>

Close enough. Some have more than 10, but they all have at least 10. Good job.

to go in the next group sub...

Bosox1976 · May 22, 2009 11:05PM

Here's a litle something outside of my usual 62's. Nice 73-74 Topps Hockey set I just picked up...

Brett--The only thing I can say is nice cards, because I'm stumped on the cards. I was thinking along the All Star angle but I can't figure it out. Good question. Doug

ymarea · May 23, 2009 2:15AM

Doug,
Thanks for the reply. The answer has nothing to do with on-field accomplishments; it's strictly baseball card related. Keep trying.

Pigs · May 23, 2009 2:17AM

Here's some '57s that I've had for a long time. I have always asked myself why I never upgraded the Clemente, Brooks Robby or Mays. No creased is a plus--- but in the end I'm just happy I have them in the set. Anyone out there know if the two Burgess cards are variations? The lettering seems different with more shadowing on one card compared to the other. I went a little nuts with the scans today because we have a new and improved scanner, now you can really see how crappy my cards look. Take care everyone. Doug

cincyredlegs · May 23, 2009 2:19AM

Here are a few 53's I picked up a few weeks ago. Centering is a bit off but I love this set.

Mark

ymarea · May 23, 2009 2:33AM

Doug and Mark,

You have some really beautiful cards. I don't have any '50's cards, but I sure love 'em.

Pigs · May 23, 2009 3:20AM

Mark, nice '53s. I agree, very nice set. A few more stabs at the question. They had more than one year of "IN-ACTION" cards or something to do with the '82 set.

daddymc · May 23, 2009 3:30AM

<< Mark, nice '53s. I agree, very nice set. A few more stabs at the question. They had more than one year of "IN-ACTION" cards or something to do with the '82 set. >>

I think you are really close. I'm guessing that they had In-Action cards in BOTH 1972 and 10 years later in 1982.

daddymc · May 23, 2009 3:31AM

BoSox, I'm not much for Hockey cards, but those are some sharp looking cards.

Pigs · May 23, 2009 4:00AM

Brett- Beautiful '72s, and for that matter the '82's. I'm more of a fan of the 72's and those are sharp! I always like that Seaver IA, you know exactly what he was thinking in that shot. "Where was that pitch?"

ymarea · May 23, 2009 4:02AM

Pigs · May 23, 2009 4:06AM

Has to do with the stadium they are in. Shea?

ymarea · May 23, 2009 4:10AM

Doug,
I thought this was an easy one, but I didn't expect to get the answer so quickly. Well done...and thanks for ruining my fun!

Pigs · May 23, 2009 4:15AM

Sorry Brett, I was thinking that too, with all the work you put into this. No outfield seats gave it away.

fattymacs · May 23, 2009 5:25AM

A few I picked up at a card shop.

Pigs · May 23, 2009 5:28AM

Some random cards I was going through today. My fear is the '71 Mays is trimmed because it's short, but we won't worry about that now.

ymarea · May 23, 2009 5:55AM

Rob and Doug,

Those are some super-looking cards.

Pigs · May 23, 2009 6:01AM

<< Rob and Doug,

Those are some super-looking cards. It's amazing how comprehensive your collections are. >>

Thanks Brett---It's called being old (speaking for myself) and having a love for the hobby that has lasted since being a kid.

fattymacs · May 23, 2009 7:03AM

Thanks Brett, my collection is dysfunctional and I'm a horribly impulsive buyer. The only good thing is, I'm never lacking something to purchase (if only my card budget were bigger).

VEry Nice C56's

I love these hockey cards

Superb cards from last weekend everybody!

I picked up a few more cards at the monthly Cincy show last weekend.

Here's a couple more 68 Game cards...

and a HOFer and high numbers for my 61 set...

purduepete · May 30, 2009 12:01AM

I also decided to start collecting different types of pre-war cards after picking up these at the same show.

ymarea · May 30, 2009 12:04AM

Tom, BEAUTIFUL!

rbdjr1 · May 30, 2009 12:44AM

<< 1974 mystery theme. Which player does not belong and why?

>>

Hmm. Good one. Not totally sure about this one (don't know about Monteagudo and Adams), but I'll say that Grieve is the only one not to have a Father play in the Majors.

ymarea · May 30, 2009 1:24AM

mrpeanut,

You are 100% correct. All but Grieve had MLB dads. Grieve was chosen as the odd man out because his son, Ben, was a big leaguer. But you weren't fooled!

ymarea · May 30, 2009 1:27AM

bobbybakeriv · May 30, 2009 1:47AM

That is a fantastic Wilt! You guys have some beautiful cards.

Brett, I doubt this is what you are looking for, but Fingers (only HOF)?

ymarea · May 30, 2009 1:55AM

<< That is a fantastic Wilt! You guys have some beautiful cards.

Bobby,

I can kick myself for overlooking that. I tried to include only players who would keep the question unambiguous, but I blew it. Although that isn't the answer I was looking for, Fingers is the correct player. He is the only one among the group to have started a game in the big leagues. The 11 others were purely relievers, spending their entire careers in the bullpen.

You get full credit.

bobbybakeriv · May 30, 2009 1:59AM

Outstanding! I like these kind of tests.

Pigs · May 30, 2009 4:32AM

Beautiful cards today guys. Brett your quiz cards are always top notch. I just got back from the Seattle card show, very busy with some really nice cards. I realized I need more money as I was walking around. Here's some '58s . Take care. Doug

ymarea · May 30, 2009 5:25AM

Doug, those cards are awesome. I need to start going to card shows. I've been to one just once in my entire life.

julen23 · May 30, 2009 6:03AM

are any of those cards crackouts brett?

i have been known to crackout a card every now & then myself...

j

ymarea · May 30, 2009 6:10AM

j,

None of the 1970 manager's were crackouts, but likely 1/2 of the '74's were. I can't remember which ones, though. The only ones I can recall cracking out were Steve Foucault, Jerry Hairston, and Rollie Fingers; but I've cracked out so many hundreds of cards that I just can't keep track of them all.

purduepete · May 30, 2009 12:38PM

Doug, those are some great 58's! I would be happy to find cards like that to add to my set.

Brett, what do you do with all of the flips from the cracked out cards? Do you have to turn them back in to PSA so that they can update their population reports?

SidePocket · May 30, 2009 2:03PM

All I can say is those 58's are gorgeous. Gilliam looks like a 9

Tom,

I have a bunch of flips waiting to go back. I tossed a whole bunch of them in the past before I knew that returning them to PSA was an option.
