OK, Dan, end the suspense: what'd they cost ya?

$15 for the pair. For some reason they were mixed into a lot of military photos which I didn't want and for which I had a feeling would go for more than the baseball cards so I asked the auctioneer to pull out the cards and sell them separately.

The military photos lot sold for $75...I made a good call.

That's about right for those two cards I think. I am collecting the Montreal subset (dodgers farm team) and have to say while I generally am not a fan of B&W cards, I do like the look of the Parkies. They are not that easy to find in the States but some are out there.

Well, I actually paid $20 for the Frostade pair, but I was referencing the 1960 Post Kaline and Drysdale box back cards that are also pictured above. The Frostade cards I got from the friend of a board member.
