A couple of mainstream rookies and one not so much.

Was excited to pick up this 1951 CM AS's Mathewson at a very reasonable price. Even though it's punched, I don't think I've seen a nicer example.

I have a terrible weakness for 1968 Atlantic Oil cards in nice shape

I didn't see a modern pick up thread but I suppose this is post war.

Totally agree on the Atlantic Oil's - got these 2 in the last week of June but thought I'd post here in July (had never seen them for auction this high, but have not always been looking)

Thank a ton, Adam. I would love to learn more about the SPs - those are the ones that were the key to winning the redemption cash prizes, is that right? Given that, they must be really, really short, right -- who are they? thanks again, mike UPDATE: actually, I found your Net54 thread, Adam, from a few years ago. Osteen is one of the short prints? And in total there are 10+Checklist other short prints? Is that right? Does anyone know if anyone has ever put a complete set together? The SP's are about impossible. I've got most of the regular cards, but none of the SP's. I've never heard of a complete set. I've asked every 'advanced' collector I can think of and the usual response I get is to just forget about it because you will never find the SPs. There are 10 SPs plus a non-player redemption piece that could be used to get a booklet of stats and records. That one can be found, though it isn't too easy. The SPs are one of those 'unicorn' issues that I am always searching for. About 20 years ago there was a decent find of unopened packets. I suspect that the few SPs that have surfaced came from that find or similar rediscovered caches of cards since there is no way that someone would have left a cash prize unredeemed had they known of it. What I am really curious about is whether anyone ever cashed in the grand prize tickets (Agee and Freehan, worth $2,500 each in 1968) or whether those are still floating around. I haven't seen a set of odds but I have a hard time believing that there was more than one of each. Wouldn't those be something to come across in a junk box at the National? Obviously, someone had to have seen them since they are checklisted. For now I just content myself with trying to assemble a nicer condition base set.

My favorite thing about this hobby is finding something I never knew existed. I never knew the Fleer World Series wrapper pictured a Mets player until I saw this.
