Continuation of scans...

A key (and very hard to come by) variation from the 1966 Topps set, #303 Indians Team with no dot on front, and a rookie card of a guy who really enjoyed showing up for work, 1982 Topps #21 Cal Ripken...




Pulling into the station is everyone's favorite smiling 1966 Topps high number, #561 Choo Choo Coleman, and the all-time hits leader 'enjoying' the afternoon sun at Shea, 1972 #559 Pete Rose...




An extremely tough 1966 Topps HOF high number SP, #580 Billy Williams, and the awfully pricey second-year 'Tom Terrific' card, 1968 #45 Tom Seaver...




A vision in burlap, we have 1968 #280 Mickey Mantle, and for my money, one of the greatest cards of all time, the fireballing 1974 #20 Nolan Ryan...




The beautiful 1964 Topps Giants #25 Mickey Mantle (one's a tiny bit off-center, while the other is ridiculously labeled with a non-existent 'print defect'), and one of the tougher to find 'Sultan of Swat' green tints, 1962 #138 Babe Ruth...




'Mr. Cub' himself, Ernie Banks, grinning away on 1965 high number #510, and one of the tougher/pricier green tints to get your hands on, 1962 #119 'Day-Glo Teeth' Danny Murphy...




The ultra-cool, oversized 1971 Topps Greatest Moments #39, Rico Petrocelli, and a 1972 Topps variation that's wickedly tough to find anywhere, #534 Jim Hickman with 'all yellow' CUBS letters...




A really tough variation to track down, 1967 #252 Bob Bolin with white streak (as far as I know, the one with the huge, all-over-the-place 'streak' is a 1/1) and The Mick hanging out with a few buddies on a summer's day at The Stadium, 1964 #331 A.L. Bombers...




A short-printed key to the set, 1963 Fleer #46 Joe Adcock, and another nightmare-to-find-even-remotely-centered card (the 'Say Hey Kid' is usually toppling off the left side), 1972 #50 Willie Mays In Action...




A casual portrait of a still young and vibrant 'Mr. Cub,' 1961 Topps #350 Ernie Banks, and a real tough to find variation card, 1969 Topps White Letter #491 Twins Rookies (pretty nice for 'only' sixes)...




A very cool snapshot of a superstar bedecked in yellow and green (although he was dealt to Baltimore in the beginning of April), 1976 Topps #500 Reggie Jackson, and the key to the extended (Good Humor) set, 1971 Fleer World Series (Laughlin) #69 Roberto Clemente...




The great key to the high number set, 1972 Topps #695 Rod Carew, and put your hands together for this ridiculously rare card for the set or Black Sox collector, 1967 Laughlin World Series WITH ADDRESS ON BACK #16 1919 White Sox VS. Reds...




A climbing-in-value-by-the-day high number, 1960 Topps #563 Mickey Mantle All Star (The Mick on an all star card?? What a rare event that was.), and a seriously cool (spanning the entire country) Ryan/Seaver combo card, 1974 Topps #207 Strikeout Leaders...




The steely-eyed 'Say-Hey Kid' preparing to put the fear of God into yet another pitcher, 1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays, and an early 'Tom Terrific' enjoying some down time, 1970 Topps #300 Tom Seaver...




The omnipotent 'Left Arm of God' preparing to throw a lightning bolt past a batter, 1965 Topps #300 Sandy Koufax, and 'Broadway Joe' looking a bit disheveled in the wind as he awaits his turn to toss the pigskin, 1972 Topps #100 Joe Namath...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
