Great pick ups for the price!

Very nice. This was the Jax show, right? I was at the show today too. Don't have pictures (already bindered them) but I picked up 12 commons from 1956 for my ungraded set. Very tempted by the Seaver rookie in the corner but left without it. Looking forward to part 2 of your recap.

The 1978 ( actually they are 1979) combo cards I believe came from Dynamite magazine and ran for several years .The earliest I remember was 1977 and ran through I think 1981. I still have three or four of the full magazines with cards still intact . Brett

Thanks for the info Brett, I think you might be right about these (1979s) being cut from Dynamite magazine.

Those are indeed 79's and not 78's, but they are not Dynamite cards. Those players were never in the Dynamite inserts.

They are hand cut from Topps promo sheets. Here's an example and the explanation why you have two bell/seaver pairs.

Larry,

If that was the Jacksonville FL show I was there as well. I pretty much collect Brooks Robinson and Orioles memorabilia, but just go to view the cards and some of the items there. Always have a good time while I'm there. I'll always have some type of Orioles hat and usually an Oriole shirt; think this time had a Camaro shirt on.

One of the dealers segregated some modern Brooks cards for me, which I really don't actively collect, but it was a nice gesture since he knows I like Brooks. I also picked up a few supplies an the rest of the time talked to the dealers and viewed their merchandise.

Look forward to part 2...

Love the Buoniconti RC, that's one I still need for my Pats HOF RC collection. Also like the Blanda and the hostess panels
