Default Missing set cards

I have come to realize there are certain cards I will likely never get to complete certain sets, either because they never come up or when they do go for obscene amounts of money. I have a Topps run 48 and 51 to 2016. That includes all 5 sets that Topps put out in 1951. Among them was The Current All Star set which consists of 8 issued cards and 3 cards, Roberts, Stankey and Konstanty, that were never issued at retail. There are likely less of them in existence than the Bateman.

So, I have settled for the creation of another board member to fill the void and spots in my binder. Like Bob Lemke's Bateman, no one would confuse these 3 with the real things in hand.




Bob often sells his creations on his blog site. I have bought several. I think his Bateman would be a great fill in until the real one comes along. I used one of Bob's creation to fill my void of card 145 in my 1958 Topps set

Bob---are you ever going to take on the 3 1960 legends, Cimoli, Hadley and Throneberry
