September Pickups

[LuckyLarry]

More pick-ups from todays show. 1967 Topps "test" Pirates Stickers $8 $5 $5 $20 before quantity discount. Looks like I might have overpaid a bit here but that Stargell card! I haven't seen these around much. I'm not really collecting this set, so if your interested contact mePS Stargell stays put!


1954 Dan-Dee Potato Chips Bob Feller. The Standard Catalog lists NM "value" $500 this card was priced at $30 (6%) plus I got a bit of a quantity discount LOL! Three cards left to complete my set!


1961 Fleer baseball (wax pack insert) decal in the dollar box completes my set!


Enjoy your cards!

For me, finding a nicely centered copy of this 73 Kaline with the Band-Aid on the forehead has been a challenge at best....finally found a centered copy in nice shape...

Thanks, SFMS's. Glad to hear you found a card you'd been after.

All the 1950 Bowmans have the players name inked on the front. 179 cards total (83 diff 1949B) and (96 diff 1950 B) commons maybe a few minor stars, I haven't checked what series these are from, I also need to look for the copyright/no copyright info...


One of my OBC collecting buddies tells us to keep an eye open for 1952 Topps cards numbered 131-190 with grey card stock. This $4 Stan Rojek has grey card stock, and I scanned the back next to the card that's in my set. Not sure if this is what I was suppose to find or even what the grey card stock means?



Lots more to share, but I have to go eat!

Someone else on here, within the last few months, also had a card identically punched like that. I can't remember who or exactly when, but it seems either more than one person done that, or maybe, by chance, you both purchased cards from the same person?

As far as Gray backs go, lots of stories/info exist on those but from what I have been told, the whole card, including the front looks grayish/different than the non grays.

I have backs like you have, most look gray and some are blazing white/clean but none of mine are gray backs.

ALR-Bishop will know for sure if your's is, but judging by your pic, I am going to say no?

EDIT: Just looked at my Rojek, and it looks like your previous copy, not your new one, so you may just have a gray back there?? The front of the card looks normal to me however, but maybe that doesn't mean anything?

Thanks for the reply Dale. Several months ago I posted a picture of a 1949 Bowman Yogi Berra I picked up that was hole punched and also had the fabric. I purchased that card, from the same dealer as I bought from today. Today I went back and purchased all the commons.
Heres a picture of the the $4 1952 Topps I purchased today back and front along side the cream colored card I have in my set. Hopefully Al will check in and let us know.

Oh, OK, that was you!

Judging by your pics, Larry, I am going to go out on a limb and say you do indeed have a gray back. The front looks definitely different that your other copy so I'd say you stand a great chance that it is?

Great pick up either way, but for a $4.00 gray back, I'd say that's likely one of the best pick-ups I have read on here since I joined!

So I've wanted this card since the mid 90s. I got side tracked a bunch , learned early on that 1951 bowman was his actual rookie so focused on that . This card makes me happy !
