1957 and 1958 Omaha Cardinals picture packs with Bob Gibson

Sorry for the size of the pictures. I will see if I can figure out how to shrink them.

1st picture is the complete 1958 set
2nd picture shows the two Gibsons
3rd picture is a partial 1958 set minus two players
4th picture is what's left including some from the 1957 set (I don't know if it's complete until I match up players with the checklist I found online).

Removed pictures - sold all of these as a big lot and the buyer wanted to keep things as discrete as possible/asked me to take the pictures down. Not sure why, didn't ask but honoring his request.

Love those early Gibson cards. Are they just blank on the back?

Yep...all of these are labeled as part of picture packs, but are also listed on Trading Card Database. None have numbers and it's hard to read the signatures (not actual signatures) on these to identify the players.

Yeah, I was trying to read the other names, but they are difficult to make out. Undoubtedly some made it to the majors, just didn't become as big as Gibson.

Gibson is the big one. The guys on Blowout are telling me that I should sell the individually because selling as a lot may actually dissuade interest.

Some other names I recognized include Jim Frey from the 1958 set and Dick Schofield from the 1956 set. There might be others as well.

Selling them individually might get slightly more money. The other names aren’t major, so it might not make much difference.

Make sense for those that specifically collect Gibson or HOFs, etc. Selling the rest individually also makes sense as people may need singles to complete their own sets.

Being from Omaha I keep track of anything baseball from the city past, so it’s nice to see any complete sets. They are pretty rare. Of course the Gibson minor league cards are on many want lists. Thanks for showing.
