1964 Topps Lot w/HOF, Variation, High#...ends Fri, 5/2, 8PM MDT

[HercDriver]

This week's lot features three HOFers, the "apostrophe" version of the Pitching Leaders card, and a tougher high number. Al McBean was one of just a handful of players who have come from the US Virgin Islands. The Google machine tells me only six players were born on the island of St Thomas, which makes it strange to me that he was discovered during a Pirates tryout on the island. Maybe the execs were just looking for a chance to get away from Pittsburgh for a couple days. Just a buck bid to start, with whole dollar increments. Shipping is about $5-$6 (I'll get you a total after I pack them up). and there's my standard 10-minute rule at the close. The auction closes at 8PM MST (Mountain Time), however a bid between 7:50-8:00 will extend it another ten minutes from the time of that bid, and any subsequent bid. Let me know if you have any questions.

Note on shipping: The USPS is frustrating in that you have to ship as a Ground Advantage Package to get tracking, and to be able to protect the cards from the sorting machine, which is why it's so high. Since shipping is sometimes more than the winning bid, and because I get a lot of repeat buyers, I'm happy to hold onto the cards as long as you want, to combine shipping on future wins. You just tell me when you want them, and I'll combine them, mail them, and give you the total. Most guys get 4-6 lots for the same $6 as one would cost.

Cheers,
Geno
