    The black borders are very tough. Your Mays is very clean, if it weren't for the tilt it would probably grade higher...

    Which market did Topps distribute them in?

    I didn't take that as a bad comment ... I think Donato was just saying what great condition the card was in.

    Thanks for seeing it as I meant it. I appreciate it...

    I try and encourage all collectors here, not discourage them as many others do.

    Thanks...Donato

    The following is a little of an article I read and thought was interesting !!

    "That set was only distributed in the New York area. It was not distributed nationally, as far as retailing," explained Scott Susor, a longtime hobbyist, who was selling and collecting cards in the Detroit area in the early '70s

    Hobbyists tend to believe that these cards were disseminated in packs, despite the fact that they have never seen one.

    "It's like dinosaurs. I compare this set to dinosaurs... Yeah, you've got proof that there were dinosaur bones, but we have never seen a dinosaur, right? It's the same thing with this. Yeah, we've got proof that there were packs, but nobody's ever seen a pack," explained Leonard.

    The veteran collector has, however, seen an unfolded, empty wax box. This box and the fact that he has seen wax stains on cards are "clues" that these originated from wax packs.

    Clay Hill, an acquisitions director at SCP Auctions, Inc., owns a hand-collated set. He thinks he remembers Card Collectors Company, a defunct mail-order business based in New York, selling these sets. Susor believes he bought his set from this same company.

    "I want to say I paid $45 for it," recalled Susor.

    thanks gents!

    otwcards...I'll gladly take the PSA-7 Munson if you ever look to get rid of it. Just picked up a few more to fill holes, so I may move up to #11 or 12.

    still need--Pepitone, Fritz Peterson, Bench, Brooks Robby, Oliva and Staub

    Any help?

    PSA-6 or better!

    Tough set!

    here is the link if anyone can help out with upgrades or filling holes (keep it clean!!)

    Who said you could come out of your cave!?! Get back in there and don't come out until time travel is a reality and you can go back to 71 and buy these up in bulk!!!
