Dave, Exceedingly nice Johnston Cookies Henry Aaron! A real beauty. Honestly, that has to be one of Hank's most attractive cards---what a radiant smile. I'm sincerely happy for you.
The ultra-high grade is pretty impressive; I mean, a POP 27 with 10 higher is decent. The cards left over from the Johnston Cookie promotion were offered in the catalogs of Wholesale Cards Co., run by Bruce Yeko when I bought cards from him in the 60s - early 70s. The provenance of your card might trace back to Wholesale, which would be cool. Just because Yeko and man who owned the company before him dealt with firms to purchase their left over promotion "free prizes" did not guarantee any or all of those cards would be pristine. So many factors played into preserving or harming their condition over these many years. For what's it's worth, I think you did rather well. ![]() |

Thanks Brian! I know I can count on you to appreciate and lend your expertise to any regional issue no matter how obscure. I plan on tapping into that by buying your book soon. Dave

![]() MrMantle! This card brings back so many memories. It was the first single I ever purchased. My dad brought me to a shop in the late 80s, I couldn't believe there was more to buy than packs. The idea that I could buy a single card blew me away! Just wanted to share. Last edited by WillBBC; 12-08-2016 at 11:05 AM. |

MattyC, Wow some very nice pickups for December. The centering on those 53 Mantles are no joke. Not easy finding one of those not to mention 2. Congrats.

Today I got back this card from a private signing. It was a PSA 9 crackout. My 9th autograph for my 74 Topps Sox team set and the 3rd HOFer:

That Cepeda card looks really cool. I like how the card is in such great shape. I only have a few autographed cards and most of the cards themselves aren't in the greatest of shape. It looks much better to have a pristine card signed. Really would enjoy seeing your run so far... Maybe a thread for progress on your team set? |
