When you see something like those buried in a box of ephemera at an auction you don't pass them up. I was just lucky that nobody else there knew their value.

I need to start going to some of the garage sales and auctions in the area and hope that I get lucky. Nice pickups.

Picked up in Baltimore. I more down in a set that I have about eight years into.

I thought the horizontal one was particularly nice. Sorry it doesn't show up perfectly horizontal in my bad scan.

My scanner is giving me fits (thanks HP!) but I managed to finish off my 1965 Topps Transfer insert set at the National. That one took a while but I found Kaline and Brooks Robby at two different tables. Needs a few upgrades but it's done.

Post war wise I also picked some some upgrades to my Brooklyn Dodgers and Mets team sets and a 50 Bowman Jackie, started a Salada Coins Mets team set and nailed a lot of Topps and OPC hockey type cards (I know, I know; no hockey here!).

OK, Dan, end the suspense: what'd they cost ya?

$15 for the pair. For some reason they were mixed into a lot of military photos which I didn't want and for which I had a feeling would go for more than the baseball cards so I asked the auctioneer to pull out the cards and sell them separately.

The military photos lot sold for $75...I made a good call.

That's about right for those two cards I think. I am collecting the Montreal subset (dodgers farm team) and have to say while I generally am not a fan of B&W cards, I do like the look of the Parkies. They are not that easy to find in the States but some are out there.

Well, I actually paid $20 for the Frostade pair, but I was referencing the 1960 Post Kaline and Drysdale box back cards that are also pictured above. The Frostade cards I got from the friend of a board member.

Ah-well done then!
