Hi Larry, I knew you would come through on the Aldana set. If I ever sell the Hunters, you will know about it. Thanks, Randy

I've seen one of the Golden Press cards. Frankly, they look like some sort of interim production piece.

I've got about a 3/4 complete Hostess set, and it looks like the brown backs don't start until the 90's. I've got several duplicates with both brown and black writing.

Thanks Adam and David for your inputs. I think I will delete the Golden Press unperforated issues from my want list unless somebody else chimes in. I also think the Hostess issues don't exist in Brown.

Go Cards!!

Randy,

I can't help you out with these but as a fellow Cardinal collector I have a question. How often do you run across a '71 Bazooka Dick Allen Cardinals card? That one has been on my wantlist for several years. I noticed that Topps Vault just sold the negative used for the card on ebay this week.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff, that Bazooka Richie Allen is very, very hard to find. I got mine a long time ago and haven't had to actively search for it, but I NEVER see it, and I search Bazooka, Richie Allen, and Cardinals a lot. Let me know if you need a scan. I have info on almost everything pertaining to Cardinals cards.

I used to own a 1961 Golden Press set years ago and when I attained it I had no idea what it was. I remember it taking me a couple days of research and page flipping in the beckett almanac to learn what I had. I distinctly remember a gentleman at that time had an unperforated set for sale on craigslist a couple hours from my home and I never made the trip to purchase it from him. I thought it woulda been cool to have the two sets side by side, that's the only reason I can remember it. So yes, it does exist - for sure.

I thought I would revive this 10 month old thread to report the existence of the 1975 Sport Hobbyist Stan Musial card listed in the first post. I was the under bidder tonight on this card. Congratulations to the winner if he is on this board.

As per my above post, I have most of the cards from this set. They were issued in the exact same "Golden Funtime" book as the perforated cards with the exact same pictures / colors / text. They just lack the perforations. If cut correctly, the entire white border is intact (the same white border that gets discarded once pulled apart from the perforated versions). This is why the hand cut cards measure larger than the perforated cards. I actually plan on listing them on eBay soon. I'll post a follow-up w/ a link so anyone that is curious can check them out...

The scans are different, I will measure them when I have time this week. Also if anyone has a pic of a panel with the large borders can they please post it, I have never seen one and would like to know how many cards are on one.

If anyone is interested in seeing what these cards look like (1961 Golden Press large/unperforated variations), search eBay for "1961 Golden Press Variation" ...The cards listed are mine; I hope I'm not breaking any thread rules by posting here... If so, I apologize in advance and will remove the post if directed to do so.
