Type Cards, is there an appetite?

[Brian Van Horn]

Type? Me? Hmmm. It's possible.

I am a type collector of anything Topps sold at retail in a pack (or similar) with gum (and some candy) from 1939 through 1980, sports and non-sports alike. Plus Gum Inc. and Bowman and OPC and A&BC. We are a rare breed.

I type collect Hank Aaron. Anything that will fit in my album is fair game. That said, I don't bother with modern cards. He had a lot of oddball cards, especially in the wake of the HR chase. My 'oddest' one is this 1980 card from Korea:




Aaron and Banks were on a paid tour for a food company and the Korean pro league.

That's a killer Aaron piece Adam-yikes!!

The company translates to Beksul Ham (they are Vienna sausages). The left side talks about Hanks biggest Feats. And the right is baseball terms, perfect game, triple play etc.

Still in business today.

That's a cool Aaron card, Adam. Never seen that one. And I generally like loose definitions too.

I could talk type cards all day. Another that returned to my collection from my first one.
