When I first seen it, it looked identical to how Beehives were distributed with the actual pic glued to the backing paper. I was just guessing, thinking maybe these were done the same way.

I appreciate the info, Brian.

Dale, I think you caught on about the 1967 Coca-Cola premium. The scan is from the eBay vendor's listing. He merely placed it on a red background to provide good contrast----so a potential buyer could scrutinize the corners!

Hey buddy, congratulations to you as well in your getting a couple more cards for your 1952 Topps set.

Have a swell day, my friend. ----Brian Powell

Gotcha. Good idea from the seller!

I am slowly picking away at my 52's, and have had some good luck lately picking up some tougher cards. Still need some high dollar ones in the 1 to 310 numbers but hopefully they will come soon?

A couple more arrivals today and 3 more wins last night that I am excited about receiving.

Your getting closer to the finish line Dale!

Received 12 more '56s in the mail this week, including Fox and Martin. Now down to needing 58 to complete the set (VG/EX). Hoping to pick up a couple more this weekend at a local show.

Thanks Jeff. It's coming along better than expected lately!

I quoted you in my last post but forgot to comment.

Your latest P/U's, again, and not surprisingly, are super nice!

Congrats!

Nice card, Ray, and everyone else as well.

Wanted this Clemente for a long time - and highest graded to boot!

Got a few good Maris cards, including (what I think) is a really cool KC Athletics card that I hadn't seen before...

Nice cards guys!

These have been rather difficult cards for me but I took a chance with a new (to me) seller, who's scans were less than great.

For the price that I won them (way cheaper than what they usually go for) I thought I can always return them.

Needles to say, they are not 7's, 8's, 9's or 10's, but are much better than what I was expecting.

Glad to say I can scratch these 3 off my 52 Topps want list.

MCoxon, I flat-out love your suite of Roger Maris items. The poses are compelling, all with that certain eye appeal that "does it" for those of us that cherish Roger and his memory. Well done, mate!
