I recently picked this "odd-ball" card up in a lot...a 1960 ED-U-CARDS 41 Babe Ruth

[DBesse27]

Cool Babe. He "made" home runs.

I don't think you can get that much more odd-ball than "KIELBASA POWER"! Love it... Thanks so much for the pic; VERY cool.

Also, that Yaz patch is NICE!

Thanks you guys for posting some oddball stuff; you'd probably get tired of seeing Brooksie oddball junk if you didn't.

Thanks, that patch is a 1978 Penn Emblem player patch. It's currently at PSA. They grade the set, but have never graded the Yaz.

I've seen a few of those patches in the past, Palmer, Rose, and I think Carew. Now I haven't seen any graded so that will be new. I'm not a registry guy, but are those listed w/in the Yaz master or maybe a part of a '78 Penn Emblem set?

Love the oddball stuff and enjoy viewing others collections. I particularly like the player collector items, but other stuff is cool as well. Need to post some more Yaz stuff if you have additional odd items...

They do grade the Penn Emblem Patches. The most famous one with the most graded copies is the Pete Rose, which comes in 2 (or 3?) variations. The Yaz isn't part of the master set composite because there are no graded copies. As soon as mine is graded I will have it added to the master composite and send my friend Manny scrambling. He has the #1 Yaz Master.

Ask and ye shall receive. More oddball Yaz:



Pink = pop 4, 1 higher



Green = pop 1, 2 higher



Salmon = pop 2, none higher.
I have no idea why the color of this scan is so bad. All the scans of the other matchbooks came out good. Anyway, this really is salmon colored, lol.



Aqua = pop 2, none higher

I also have the orange matchbook in PSA 6. There are still 5 colors I want to eventually add to my master set.

Thanks so much for posting the Yaz matchbooks. Those are very nice! Wish Brooks had something like those; that would be a fun search for all of the different colors. The condition you have them in is amazing to me!

[DBesse27]

Thanks for your kind words. I bought my 5 matchbooks raw at a show for $2 each. I passed on other colors that were in worse condition. That same dealer had the kielbasa labels. And the next time I went to that show I bought the Penn Emblem patch from him.

I think that about does it for truly oddball Yaz items. I have a bunch of pins and food discs and such, but nothing as unusual as what I've already posted.
