Oddball and test issues

[Peter_Spaeth]

Been in that mood of late.

[Neal]

Nice haul!

[quitcrab]

The Greatest Moment Mccovey looks really nice. I love the odd ball stuff.

[jb217676]

Great stuff Pete!

Here are a few.

And a few more.

And why not, a few more.

Damn it I keep looking for the 67 postcard with no luck.

Here are some from my Johnny Bench collection

Paul...what is the story behind that 68 Seaver color separation? Never seen it before.

[toppcat]

Awesome Seaver's Paul, and to top it off that is only the second example of the 25 cent Puzzle envelope I have ever seen. I dabble in cards with Seaver in Mets regalia and pick things up as I find them but you are really finding some esoteric items.

[paul]

The 68 Seaver came from the Topps Vault. Notice that he is pitching left handed. I think that is why Topps chose to go with the boring portrait instead of this much nicer picture.

[Exhibitman]

A pair of Exhibit test pieces:

On the left is a Mays proof.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/exhibitsupplycompanypage/websize/Salutation%20Exhibit%20Holmes%20oddball%20card.jpg

A Salutations Holmes proof. The white borders are far beyond the normal card edges.

I love this newspaper issued 1960 Koufax:

Hallicrafters Lemon and Rosen premium:

After years of research I was finally able to pin down these nearly square smaller paper premiums:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/picturepacks/websize/Marciano%20small%20publicity.jpg

1955 All American Sports Club.

Here is an interesting cabinet-sized version of the 1969 Shindana Ali card, next to the as issued card:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/rareboxingcards/websize/1969%20Shindana%20Ali%20large%201.jpg

I say prototype or test because some of the cards have art that is different than the art on the as-issued cards.

Got this in the Sunday paper. it came with a folder to collect other players. It was a price of 2.99 so I guess the must have sold them else where.

[Jim65]

Some of my faves

[paul]

Does anyone have any 1970 Topps cloth stickers to post?

[Jim65]

1965 Dugan Brothers Bakery Casey Stengel

[rgpete]

2 more of Tom Seaver that I saved when I was a kid, 1973 N.Y. Daily News Pull Out Poster from the Sunday comics, and a 1969 CITGO, from later on Mays Casino chips from AC NJ

I just picked up this Bench photo card. Can anyone help with identifying its origin?

[kid4hof03]

Some great stuff in this thread! A couple of favorites from my Gary Carter collection:

1976 Red Path full sugar packet, it's got a stain on the front but it's one of the very few full packets I've ever seen. I also have an uncut sheet of these.

1978 Burlington Free Press newspaper card

[jb67]

That Carter sugar packet is crazy cool!!!!
