Day 240


1969 Topps Decal...




One of my favorite Topps insert sets from the 60s. I remember trading for these in junior high. On one occasion, a group of us were in the library trading cards and one kid threw a dozen or so of these on the table and asked "Anybody want this junk?". Hands were flying, but I was able to grab Reggie Jackson among others.

Here's the set...





And some dupes...

Many years after picking up the 1971 Boston Globe insert, I was finally able to acquire this next insert which is very similar.


1972 Baltimore Sun insert...





At the time I won the Boston Globe, the seller also had the Baltimore Sun, but I lost out on it. So glad to have finally added it.

Nice pick-ups for my own selfish reasons I am pleased that you are keeping this thread alive.

Have seen the 1965 Perfect Photo team pic before, but until I purchased these, I had never seen the 1964 or 1966 team photos.

Not sure which one(s) I have or have seen - have to start digging to check. I do not think I have seen all 3.

Nice photos! I just picked up an odd lot of Clemente stuff. The only reason I took a chance on it was the A Conversation with Roberto Clemente album. I was intrigued by it because it is platinum and in a protective wood case. Have you seen one of these before?

I saw that lot offered, but didn’t look closely enough to notice that album. Do you have it in hand yet? If not, let us know if there are any markings when you get it. Have not seen it before.

It shipped today. I reached out to the seller and he confirmed it was a platinum album housed in a custom wood case that opens like a tri-fold. He said the case was original to the album. I saw one of these auctioned off from the Clemente estate recently but couldn't find the auction. I thought it was a Hunt auction. Nonetheless, I thought it was sufficiently unusual and cool looking to add it to my collection. I will post a better photo when I have it in hand.

I won that lot from the Hunt auction! A little strange that a second one popped up - anyone know anything about how or why they would make something like this? We'll have to compare notes when you get yours. Was it on ebay or where?
