Got a helluva deal on this 65 Topps and it arrived in the mail today.Thanks! I actually prefer this over most of the basic set, because the photo is so unique. Almost every other basic issue is a head shot or a batting stance. The 65T is definitely different.

This card leaves me 1 card shy of completing the 60's portion of the PSA basic set. Then I need 1 new and 1 upgrade to finish the 70's and the 1980 Topps and 81 Donruss I just added leave me needing 2 new to finish the 80's. Below is my wish list, the only cards I need before I consider my 34-card basic set complete:

1963 Topps #115 in PSA 7
1971 Topps #530 in PSA 7.5 or 8
1973 Topps #245 in PSA 8
1982 Topps #650 in PSA 9
1984 Fleer #412 in PSA 10

If you have any of those for sale or trade, please let me know. Thanks!

Howdy, podnah. I don't know if this sort of Yaz would interest you, but you may wish to consider the fantasy card that former Sports Collectors Digest editor and publisher Bob Lemke crafted earlier this year. He made a fantasy 1961 Post Cereal Yaz.

If you're interested, I will say the scan he posted of it on Net54 postwar board was brilliant, and well worth the small amount of money you will pay for it. Bob offered the six different 1961 Post Cereal cards he did as a typical backside of box sheet of 6, with Yaz, Frank Howard, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Jenson, and Jim Kaat. I forget the sixth player, but he puts a lot of thought and tender loving care into each of his creations.

With a Bob Lemke fantasy card, it's not about how much they're going to appreciate in value; rather, it's about how much you are going to appreciate the card, and being entertained and enraptured by its beauty with owning one in your collection for just a few bucks.

Perhaps someone on here can help you find the thread from earlier this past spring, and help you locate Mr. Lemke. That is, of course, if a fantasy card of Yaz would push your "gotta have it" button. If not, no big deal.

Kind regards, Brian Powell

Don't think this one is that unusual, but I still like it.

Almost forgot to post the back of the card.

I'm not sure you guys are interested in non cards, but here's a pic w/Brooks and Yaz.

'67 Yaz has always been a favorite of mine.

That's a great 67 Topps!

Huge mail day today, courtesy of some Christmas generosity by my friend Casey. Here are a couple of the new additions.



This is a big one. With this card filling a gap, I'm now done with the 1960-70 portion of the basic set!




Love the discs, especially when they're minty and in one of these fitted slabs.

Dan, I agree with you on this card. 1965 is the first set that I collected (I was 8 at the time). The Yaz was my favorite card in the set. I loved that pose. Of course at that time I thought it was a real action shot.

Some recent pre-1980 Yaz pickups:





Very excited about the pickup directly above. A complete set of 1971 Red Sox team issue. Hard to come by.
