April Pick-Up Thread...

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.

Leon, I picked up the same Musial pose but in a 1951 Berk Ross from someone on B/S/T. It's funny, I thought Musial had something like a towel wrapped around his neck in the Berk Ross photo, but I can see that he doesn't in the Bond Bread premium.
