Default Btw

Now that we agree that seeing cards in person is a good idea for many buyers I also want to say something else positive about Batters box in Houston.

Way back in the day, I used to work with one of their main people at shows (Paul S.) and he supplied us at Beckett with a complete checklist of the 1st series of the 1967 Venezuelan Topps cards. I had always wondered why the set began at like #111 or so and thanks to Paul's help we cobbled together a checklist which was then unknown to the hobby.

Included in the checklist were, if memory serves me correctly -- 1967 cards of Bobby Cox and Dave Concepcion, both issued far before their American Topps rookie cards.

Regards
Rich
