Mostly mid 70s baseball cards but I do see some 1966 Topps "rub-offs" which I collect. So the dealer tells this guy he is not interested, and the guy takes his binder and moves on. So do I, right over to the guy and asks him what are you selling?
We plop down on a couple of chairs, and I buy all the '66 rub-offs on my wantlist I paid him $3 each for Mays Koufax Robinson and Banks, and $1 each for the others. I've been trying for this set for awhile so I'm glad to get the hits.


He keeps trying to sell ma a stack of low grade 1965 Topps Transfers but I tell him I'm not collecting that set. He really wants me to buy them, and bundles the Topps Transfers with a 1975 Phillies Roster on this brochure and says eight bucks. So I guess I'm collecting the '65 Topps Transfers now with Aaron Gibson and two Koufax included.

Larry - cool story. It's funny how one ends up collecting a set that they previously had no interest in. That's the story of my life...if only I could finish one!!!
