Do these CATALOGED cards really exist?

[cardinalcollector]

I've had some some Cardinal items on my want list for many years because they are listed in the SCD Catalog, or Beckett Almanac. Can anybody verify any of these?

1974 Capital Publishing #110 Bob O'Farrell (Beckett)
1968 Globe Imports w/Checkerboard backs (SCD)
1961 Golden Press w/cards in larger 2-3/4"x3-5/8" unperforated format (SCD)
1976 Hostess #7 Brock, #70 Sizemore, #30 Smith w/brown print back (Gilkeson variation book 1980)
1977 Hostess Twinkee #115 Hernandez 2x4-1/2" (Gilkeson)
1976 Jimmy Fund, Burleigh Grimes (Beckett)
1969 Nabisco Team Flakes w/size 1 15/16"x3" (SCD)
1982 Ohio HOF #92 Brooks Lawrence (Beckett)
1975 Sport Hobbyist #128 Stan Musial (SCD)

Also, can anybody verify the TEAM on 1971 Carl Aldana #16 Ed Sauer (Larry Serota, you out there? )

Feel free to post more "does it exist?" questions on this post. Thanks, Randy

Hi Larry, I knew you would come through on the Aldana set. If I ever sell the Hunters, you will know about it. Thanks, Randy

I've seen one of the Golden Press cards. Frankly, they look like some sort of interim production piece.

I've got about a 3/4 complete Hostess set, and it looks like the brown backs don't start until the 90's. I've got several duplicates with both brown and black writing.

[cardinalcollector]

Thanks Adam and David for your inputs. I think I will delete the Golden Press unperforated issues from my want list unless somebody else chimes in. I also think the Hostess issues don't exist in Brown.

Go Cards!!

As per my above post, I have most of the cards from this set. They were issued in the exact same "Golden Funtime" book as the perforated cards with the exact same pictures / colors / text. They just lack the perforations. If cut correctly, the entire white border is intact (the same white border that gets discarded once pulled apart from the perforated versions). This is why the hand cut cards measure larger than the perforated cards. I actually plan on listing them on eBay soon. I'll post a follow-up w/ a link so anyone that is curious can check them out...

The scans are different, I will measure them when I have time this week. Also if anyone has a pic of a panel with the large borders can they please post it, I have never seen one and would like to know how many cards are on one.

If anyone is interested in seeing what these cards look like (1961 Golden Press large/unperforated variations), search eBay for "1961 Golden Press Variation" ...The cards listed are mine; I hope I'm not breaking any thread rules by posting here... If so, I apologize in advance and will remove the post if directed to do so.

I have a set of the unperforated Golden Press cards minus the Ruth and Cobb cards. I won it on eBay thinking it was the regular Golden Press set and was initially annoyed when I received the cards as they were (are). I wasn't aware of the variation until I looked them up, and still am stumped as to what to charge for the cards as singles. I'm thinking about an eBay minimum bid of $9.99 each. Does this sound about right?

Scott Mountjoy: I found my 1969 Nabisco variations today in St. Louis, now that I knew to look for wide yellow borders! Thanks again for your help.

Jeff: Sorry no Bazooka Dick Allen to be found. No Bazookas to be found.

Randy

Congrats Randy, glad to help!
