I would consider that a real card. And A nice looking card also

Yes, it's nice looking. But in my mind I'd like a full card and not 1/3 of a card.

I vote for T202 end panels being a full card, because that is what the collective cutters/rippers of the panels considered them to be 100 years ago or so.

Just for fun, here is a thread I started almost a decade ago about these cards:

Happy to add this 1921 New York Giants Polo Grounds Season Pass...Only missing one World Series ticket in my collection (1920-2020), so I grabbed this to serve as the 1921 example until I find a good one in auction.

Smart gal, and yes, there are plenty out there, as well as tons of guys who like Alanis, as evidenced above.

It's been ten years since I've seen Bob live, but did see him many times over the years, and your description has nothing in common with any of the shows I was at. Fabulous bands that always rocked the house like crazy doing the best catalog of songs of anybody ever, is more like it. He might turn his back on occasion to communicate something to his band, but otherwise he was always front and center and would engage the audience when he felt like it. His damaged voice has been cringeworthy for some time now, and he might not have ever been to your taste, but I'll take his version of any of his classic songs over even the best cover versions by other artists. I'm sure Alanis is great to see, but you'd have to go back to the 1980s to catch Dylan at her age now, so that comparison is hardly apt. And I'm guessing she would be the first to discourage any attempt at comparison of the two of them in terms of musical stature or historical significance.

Clydewally 09-02-2021 05:41 PM

After many years of great Dylan concerts, I hit a patch where the voice got to the point that I gave up going. But my daughter in law had never seen him live and I went again about three years ago to find that he was in surprisingly good voice. Maybe the recent years of covering Sinatra and similar crooners helped him regain some of his groove.

Anyway, I am in the Dylan is the GOAT category and I like Alanis Morisette too.

Two of his "rookie" cards below btw. Took me many years to find.

Bob Dylan is, and will always remain, the Poet Laureate of my generation.

The category would be musical artists. What's the story on that card? That might be the best picture of Bob I've ever seen, probably by Michael Ochs, his more or less "official" photographer in the early days.

It's my opinion that with the passage of time his writing will be compared favorably to Shakespeare's. And then you have the music thrown in--all those fabulous tunes, and he is grotesquely underrated as a guitar and harp player.

obcmac 09-03-2021 10:08 AM

So basically our mutual love of Bob Dylan brought my wife and I together...and the first time she came over to my place, she spent a half hour looking at my baseball cards...I guess I win ;-)

That's great. Imagine how many thousands of relationships and marriages began with meeting at one of Bob's concerts over these 60 years?

French cards from 1964 or possibly 1965.

At least during the 60s and 70s he was also a great singer. A number of great singers did not have good voices, and vice versa.

The way I think of it is this: who else would you want singing those great songs? The answer is: nobody else.

He wrote a few songs that I think only Baez actually recorded/performed, like Love is Just a Four Letter Word.

Wanaselja 09-03-2021 07:10 PM

This is one of the reasons I love this forum so much.
As a GenXer I understand if you guys roll your eyes but my favorite Dylan record is Blood on the Tracks. There, I said it.

Wanaselja 09-03-2021 07:11 PM

Also, fantastic pickups everyone. You never disappoint.

I played that record nonstop in the summer of 75. It's right up there with the early classics IMO even if the songs were more personal and less social. Some amazing acoustic guitar, very evocative of different moods. Did you know that many of the songs have alternate takes that are available?

It's as good a record as he ever made. The followup, "Desire," is also excellent, and IMO the last of his 15-year run of stone classic albums. If I had to name my favorite, it would be "Bringing It All Back Home," from 1965.

She did some wonderful covers of his songs, and also wrote two great songs about her and Bob, "Diamonds and Rust," and about her sister Mimi, "Sweet Sir Galahad."

Her studio Farewell Angelina is one of my favorite songs of all time. Haunting and her delivery is perfect.

Baez is wildly underrated, having been overwhelmed by the succeeding waves of great 60s music she helped pave the way for, and typecast as possessor of a great natural voice but not much more. In time she will be rediscovered and take her rightful place among the pantheon of fabulous talent from that era, I believe.

Also a big fan of Blood on the Tracks and as I was reading the other posts it just occurred to me: I always took the title to refer to railroad tracks...but it could refer to the tracks of an album. As for great covers, it's hard to top Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower".

I always liked PPM's Blowin' in the Wind and Too Much of Nothing. Also Fairport Convention's Percy's Song. Hard too to argue with the Byrds' My Back Pages and Mr. Tambourine Man.

molenick 09-04-2021 01:10 PM

Yes, "Blowin' in the Wind" was a classic as was "Mr. Tambourine Man". And in a weird way so was the Four Seasons' "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)". I'm sure when I heard the last two on the radio, I did not know they were Dylan covers, being more familiar with top-40 radio than the concept of albums.

Here's one of the few cover versions I prefer to Bob's own, especially with the haunting photos in this video, which I couldn't stop watching for several weeks it affected me so.
