July Pickups

[JollyElm]

I guess I'll get it started this month…

A bit of deja vu, as I picked up one of these same 1965 Ernie Banks last month, too. But this one is in much better shape…and centered to boot!

I have a set of the 1967 Punch Out team captains. I have not attempted all the lineup variations like Larry, but do have 3 of the 4 captain pose variations. I like to have a pack with each of my sets if possible but these came packaged with two 3 card strips is a fairly frail thin plastic wrapper.

I have had a couple of wrapper for some time, and twice before sought to buy unopened packs but in each case the wrappers were open at one or both ends such that the strips could be removed and put back. One only had one strip. Finally found one with the ends sealed, although it may prove a useless purchase since any handling at all could easily "open' the pack after all these years. Size makes it impossible to seal in a plastic graded tomb. Plus, I can not store them in my set binder due to size. Have it with my 68 Action Sticker set in an Artist Portfolio binder

Very nice Al-handle with care!

I have the wax wrapper from the reissue the following year, which is nice, but those strips in the cello just look super.

Dave--Do not think I have even seen one of those, can you post it or send me a scan

Nice pick ups guys. Al - would you hazard a guess at how many exist in that condition, can't be many? My guess is you've been looking for that for a long time!

I picked up this Coates and now need 2 for the base set and 3 more variations for the master set. I would say this and Kaline are the hardest in the set to get well centered. I settled a bit on condition with this and it has a slight tilt, but I'm happy with it. This one has been a monster for me and it felt real good to cross it of my '61 checklist. Sorry for the large picture.

My bad Al- I have the wax wrapper for the 68 version of Action All Star Stickers. Here though, is the wax Punchout wrapper, from John Moran's never ending photo cave:

[ALR-bishop]

Wow, never knew that existed. Thanks Dave...and John. How big is the wrapper? Do we know if it had 3 card strips or just singles, and either way how many ?

Bill---on your master 61 checklist, are you using the Registry checklist. ? If so, do not look in the show me your print variations thread here :-)
