Please respond and let me know everything I got wrong. Should be a long list!

Well done. An enjoyable read. Gotta love the obscure cards of The Say Hey Kid

My scarcest Mays Topps items are the 67 Stand Up and Punch Out ( that 66 you have is a great item), and the 67 and 68 Discs. I have a "almost" set of the 68 Plaqs ( including the checklsts) but am missing the actual Mays plaq.

Fun stuff, Larry!

If I’m not mistaken, you also have the only complete Briggs Meats Mays panel that I’ve seen.

I really enjoyed reading that.
Here's another one you don't see every day. PSA has graded 7 copies.

Great card. This one was definitely on my short list, but had to make some difficult decisions, and ultimately it fell outside of the top 10 for me.

But now that you’ve reminded me just how rare they are, I probably need to think about raising my asking price for the one that I have on eBay.

What are the populations on the 1962 Pittsburgh Exhibit, 1967-68 Topps Disc and 1968 Topps Standup Mays? Those 3 plus the 1968 Topps Plak are on my top 10 list for Roberto Clemente.

Nice set of cards. Two things stand out to me:

• The condition of that 1959 Venezuelan is unbelievable. All of the Venezuelans in my collection are, shall we say, well loved.
• As is that 1958 Hires Test Issue. It took me quite a while to find the Test Issue for my Johnny Antonelli player collection and it doesn't have the tab. I am not sure I have ever seen an Antonelli with the tab.

Good stuff.

I was lucky that they both came to auction when they did. Took several years for the test set with tab to come up. Sometimes the quest is just as much fun as ultimately landing the piece.

Great thread!
I love the Packard Bell and prefer the tougher to get cards
