Nice pickups. I noticed those last week too. The guy had some interesting stuff. I believe he also had a Ted Williams, plus a Nellie Fox rookie with the overprints..

I had looked for more but didn't seen any. It was Probstein123 that had them. And these 2 reside in my collection so are not for sale. Plus I try not to post new pickups when things are for sale. That's not my gig....thanks for the kind words otherwise though. happy collecting.

I was thinking of a different seller. justcollectcards. He had 3 different Fox rookie overprints, and 3 Ted Williams and a shitload more...And they all went fairly cheap. Now that I'm looking, that was a month ago. Still, nice pickups Leon.

Interesting overprints. Can't recall seeing '51's before. Looks like the first color of the fronts was put over the backs, so could have been the printed back sheet was inadvertently reversed when it was put in the press. If that was the case, there should be more of them around, i.e., 34 or 70 additional overprints on the effed up sheet, unless most were trashed back then.

Great pick-up on the Musial, Leon!

I was very excited to find and get this one. Kell is one of my favorite HOFers because I grew up watching him and Kaline do the Tigers games. Glad to get this obscure premium in such good condition.
