This is the first Seaver RC I've ever owned, and the high number 1961 Maris is just plain beautiful!!

Very nice 5 Seaver. That will likely be the range I go for when I can afford one. Which I suppose I need to start saving since I've decided I'm going after the '67 set...

Great looking 1975 rookies. I'm a huge Royals fan, and I was born in 1975, so naturally the Brett rookie is one of my all time favorites. My copy is pretty beat up, so my plan is to upgrade it to one like yours someday. But there's so many cards out there I'd like to own, that upgrading a card I already own keeps getting knocked down the priority list.

Knocked the second to last high number needed for my 1967 set off of my list. Sure, the centering is off (just like 99% of the cards that year), but it looks like it just came out of the pack, so I'm happy with it. I probably paid much more than I should have for a card with a qualifier, but since my ebay bucks knocked the price way down, I got it for around 20 bucks.
1967adcock563.jpg On a side note, I've needed this card for so long that something laughable came to mind. In the early days of the internet at the beginning of this new century, I used to post my want lists on various collecting sites and they would always be rejected for 'inappropriate language.' Ha ha! When I did further research, I discovered that the bad word causing all of the fuss was simply the second syllable of Joe's last name. That's it! So I changed his name to "Adc*ck," and then my posts were readily accepted. Very funny to remember those funny days of yesteryear.

Congrats, nice card. I had a copy of that as a kid (late 80's, early 90's) that I picked up for relatively cheap at the time ($20 or so) at a show. When I got home I noticed it had "1952" typed on the back. LOL, my first lesson in inspecting carefully before I buy. Oh well, it bothered me for about 5 minutes and then I loved the card anyway.

Nice Jackie Jenson! The 1958 AL MVP.
Jensen announced his retirement from baseball in January 1960, primarily because of an intense fear of flying. As teams had increasingly turned to air travel in the 1950s, he had unsuccessfully sought to combat his aversion to flying, aided considerably by Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey, who arranged for therapy treatments. Once major-league baseball expanded to the West Coast in 1958, and with further expansion and constant air travel foreseen, these difficulties became virtually insurmountable. Jensen returned to play for Boston in 1961, but turned to hypnotherapy when his panic attacks at airports became unbearable. Frustrated by a sub-par season (.263, 66 RBIs), he retired again for good. |

Thanks...that card has proven difficult to track down both centered and at a reasonable price! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are both sweet cards.
Bob Swift was the Tigers catcher in the famous 1951 Eddie Gaedel photo. Last edited by Chuck9788; 07-04-2018 at 11:52 AM. |

Nice p/u Irv....more good progress for you on this set.
I recently grabbed these 3 'bums" in my quest to complete this beast of a set. I am down to 25 to go, all high numbers....the last 25 are pretty much the toughest that could remain....I still have 3 more tough "bums" to get. I did not count to see how many more Dodger cards I am still needing, but it appears a majority of the Dodger cards were in the last series of this set. Too bad this high percent of placement of NY cards in the last series did not help Topps sell more cards. |

And only 25 to go! Curious, are you aware of this site/link? It is full of great info and gets updated frequently. http://www.1952toppsbaseballcards.com/ Good luck with the remaining 25.
