Bert Campaneris-Oddball Items Wanted & Hello

Dear Baseball Card Community:

My name is Rick and I'm really happy to be here. I stumbled across your community searching for a 1965 J.D. McCarthy Postcard of my favorite player, Bert Campaneris. So, since I'm here I might as well introduce myself and see if there is anyone here that has any of the Campy items that I need to complete my collection. (I also wanted to say Hi!)

So, here is what I'm looking for: (All Bert Campaneris items)

1964 Topps (Rookie All Star Banquet) #21
1965 JD McCarthy Postcard #NNO
1966 Sports Service (A's) #NNO
1967 Topps (Discs) #NNO
1967 Dexter Press #2
1967 Sports Service (A's)
1969 Broder #NNO
1969 Oakland A's (Picture Pack) #NNO
1970 Mike Anderson Postcard #NNO
1970-71 Dayton Daily News (M137) #48

And, anything else Campy related that you think a big fan of his might enjoy.

Again, hello to everyone and my email address is coachrickfrank@gmail.com and let me know if you have anything or if you have any leads.

Thank you so much!!

Rick

Hey welcome. Hope you find what you are looking for

Finally, Bert getting some respect that he deserves!

Welcome Rick, I follow everything related the Cuban baseball and Cuban born players. I will check what I have on Campaneris and get back with you. Here is a great photo from an earlier post: https://www.net54baseball.com/showpo...&postcount=420

That picture of Campy is amazing. Thank you so much for posting it and if you run across anything Campy related, just let me know.

Appreciate you!!

This photo made quite an impression on me when I was 6. Has anyone else ever thrown a bat at a pitcher?

Billy Martin ordered the "hit" on Campaneris. Billy understood that Campy was the key to the A's offense. In 1977, Martin named Campy to the All-Star team and then in 1983 he signed Campy to the Yankees. Campy would hit .322 in his final season at age 41.
