Bill---on your master 61 checklist, are you using the Registry checklist. ? If so, do not look in the show me your print variations thread here :-)

Al - not the registry checklist, more like the registry+!

This is one of my favorite 61 variations.

A lot of my cards look like that after a few drinks

Nice additions for everyone so far this month. Picked up these two HOF's this month. The 71 Topps and 57 Topps are probably my two favorite Topps sets even though I do not own very many of either year.

[ALR-bishop]

Joe-- you mean Furillo ?

How do you suppose Topps could issue an 8 card set and get 3 of the players wrong ? And what the heck was that set all about anyway ? Topps banquet or dinner favor ? Furillo, Rosen , and MCCullough are not who they purport to be




Very nice cards JB

Very nice cards JB

Al, wasn't this set supposed to be some sort of test set?? Supposedly the production was limited to 300 sets.

Very nice p/u Joe....I found another of this JR a while back in nice shape. I would have liked an entire "reprint" set from 53 just like the 8 cards that were issued (just with the correct players pictured).

LOVE that Ernie Banks!!!

I'm off to Chantilly show in 2 days, hoping to come back and post my finds. Very excited!

[jb67]

journeyto407, Good luck at Chantilly. I enjoyed reading your posts on wordpress.

Usually do basketball and occasionally some comics. Figured I would see what vintage baseball has to offer.


Anyway, I'm new and here's my first pick up







Thanks!

Nice Ben, the 'fat finger" McCovey variation.

[4reals]

Added these two to my '57 Topps Dodgers Team Set, only need Reese, Koufax, and Dodgers Sluggers to complete.



Also picked up this nice Robinson card. I whiffed on getting the Antonello in the same grade to get both Dodgers in this subset.

Posted back in June ,but just received the card a few days ago. The first Japanese American to play Pro Football for the SF 49ers and American to be elected to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, Wally Yonamine the Nisei Jackie Robinson from Hawaii.

Cool item, Ron. What does back look like ?

As usual, nothing earth shattering, but a pair of 62's in pretty nice shape to upgrade my set a bit…

Great pick up Ron. As a Japanese American whose mom and grandparents were interned in WWII, I really appreciate his place in history and some of the barriers he must have faced. His story seems under publicized and I for one am ashamed for not even knowing who he was until a few years ago. I'd love to pick up some of his cards some at some point.

Picked up these 2 for our continued journey. After shipping, $5/each...I was pretty pleased. Especially love the background colors and the centering (at least on the front).

[paulcarek]

Been looking to add these to my collection for a while. In my opinion, they're two of the best looking cards of the 50's.

Really nice pickups this month so far guys.

.....his playing years lasted into the sixties ; some of the more obscure issues ( like these two budget busters ) take a long time to track down....Everyone of a certain age and reasonable proximity to Shibe Park ( or whoever listened to a Phillies game on the A.M. band of a radio ) has a fond memory of this original Whiz Kid... we lost him 'way too young...
