Some incredible cards on here. Cards I couldn't even dream of. Fantastic job, all around gentlemen, it's been a treat to read through this thread. In the spirit of sticking to the section, I have little to offer in terms of Pre-War. Post War would be my Berk Ross Mantle. Really have to start working on the Pre-War aspect of my collection!

Wow, that's an old scan. Yeah, I did. I once had all of the ballplayers from the set (there' a Speaker and a Bob Meusel too).

Fascinating thread. That 1960 logo variation is an eye opener. Learn something everyday, or at least try to! I would imagine those Korean cards haunt many the player collector.

My rarest card (thanks to Joe T, who hunted this one down for me) is a signed 1952 Bowman Mantle. There are only 19 signed, as compared to 3400 graded unsigned in the PSA pop report. It is the second rarest of all signed basic issue Topps/Bowman Mantle cards, behind the 1952 Topps, of which there are 14 examples in the pop data.

Very nice card and autograph Matt

I have a few of these, got all together and haven't seen any others.



And crazily enough ended up with the complete set of these, only 25 cards not all sports. Some are 1/1 and something like 6 of the 25 weren't cataloged until this find.

Thanks very much, Jeff.

I love seeing a thread with so many cards that were once part of my collection. Glad they give other members so much pleasure!

I still have a few regrets (from sales), but money allocated to cards is limited. For me, I have to sell in order to buy…

Keep ‘em coming!

I guess I should add one - a 1926 Kut-Out Yankees of Earle Combs (rookie)
