Good luck. I've seen the Yogi Berra Tip Top Bread Label a few times. Been looking for the Mantle American Oil Portrait myself but have not even seen a picture of it. Hope you are able to add these to your collection.

Wish I also could find the Am oil Mantle, but I do have both sides of the Mays in poor shape somewhere packed away. I will have to try and dig all my winner circle cards out.

Larry:

You know I collect and have the '65 Covington Phillies tile. And like you need the Stuart that we have a deal about.

So, count me in as someone who collects one of the sets you are looking for.

YES. And it is different than the others. The one I saw had no facsimile autograph.

I know where it is too, but can't get it.

id like to know what % of people on this board collect stuff other then topps and bowman cards....

[sflayank]

no responses i guess the % of people that collect other stuff is very small
its a shame because its the other stuff thats a challenge ...thats what makes collecting interesting

[hcv123]

As a matter of fact I could practically care less about regular Topps and Bowman. The scope of my collection is MUCH narrower than yours, but I certainly relate to the enormous challenge! These days if I can add an item a year, I am tickled! Best of luck finding some of those on your list. All the best.

i collect topps and bowman too....thats not a matter of finding the cards though...thats a matter of money..there are things on my list that should be very inexpensive...its the fun of the chase that makes it interesting
