Some Leaf SPs for the set I'm working on. Not sure if I'll ever be able to get a Paige, Doby or Newhouser to complete it, but I can always hope.

That's a terrific looking card...just wow! I don't really collect 69T (except a couple of Reggies) but have always liked the look.

Cheers!

Thanks! I recently completed a Topps Banks base run and this was the last card I needed. I have always liked the 69 Banks (even though the image is a copy of the 68, or at least appears so) because I think the image epitomizes him as a player (broad smile, happy to play) and the design is excellent. Very happy with this addition!

Beauty, Matthew. That is rare centering for a ‘69!

It is the same photo as the '68, but it looks so much better in this context - the white border really makes the blue pop, and the gradient effect from the border to the light blue sky/uniform to the darker blue sleeves/cap is beautiful. I don't hate the '68 burlap design like a lot of people do, but this card really illustrates why people like the '69 better. And, of course, the colors are particularly vivid on this Banks.

Great cards everyone!

Almost done with my 65 set.

Beautiful card, Matt!

It hurt to pack up that card and send it on its way, but I'm glad to see it will be appreciated.
