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.
