1975 Clarence Mengler Baseball's Best

[David W]

I just got the Lou Brock one on ebay a few months back, the return address was Mr. Mengler, so he apparently has a jillion left from 35 years ago, or he let the presses run again.

he also threw in a few extras, some had the stamp on the back some did not.

chicagosportsmiley is the ebay id

Mr. Mengler sent me a Twins set which is how I got my Carew. I've bought Menglers from him several times now. He is also the source of pretty much all of my info on the set. He told me when I first contacted him that he had used his cards as scratch paper for years. He indicated that few sets had been sold before he had to shut down, so if you even supposed that he had half of the initial inventory that's 10,000+ cards he would have been left with. He's a great seller to deal with and has always been generous with sending extra cards.

Is he an artist? Did he draw the picture of the player or have someone else do it?

Keith Peterson did the drawings. He's the Peterson in "Mengler-Peterson".

These were absolutely impossible to find until Mr. Mengler started selling them on ebay.

Here is what Mengler told me when I asked him about the set:

"I probably sold 25 complete sets. i think around 200 or so were printed of the 1st 2 or 3 series and around 100 of the last 2 series."

Hello, first post here... a search for Mengler turned this forum and this thread specifically up for me...

I am searching for a Mengler Johnny Bench card... any leads would be greatly appreciated... I don't think I have ever seen one before...

I can't wait to browse around and see what interesting things are on this site too...

Thanks!!!
