Trading 1961's Including Many High Numbers (scan heavy)

[JollyElm]

The following are in rough shape:



I am trying to complete my 1961 Topps set and need less than 30 cards to finish it off. Most of what I'm missing are high numbers and HOF'ers, but I'm hoping there are people out there who got 'em to trade.

I have plenty of 1961 cards to trade, including a few stars--Ron Santo rookie, Lou Gehrig, Roberto Clemente, Willie McCovey, Don Drysdale, Roger Maris MVP and the very hard to find SP's Roy Campanella MVP and Phil Rizzuto MVP--plus a wide range of the coveted high numbers. Every card shown in the scans is available for trade (I have a few additional high number doubles that aren't shown), and I also have a ton of stuff from 1957 through the early 70's--with plenty of stars, HOF'ers and high numbers--if you are looking to pick those up instead.

The conditions of my cards vary, but many are in pretty nice shape.

PLMK what you have from my need list and what you're looking for in return. Sorry, I'm only looking to trade at the moment, not buy or sell anything.

I Have These 1961s to Trade (in various conditions):
3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35 (Santo RC), 36, 37, 38, 42, 45, 46, 47a, 47b, 48, 50, 51, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 64, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81 (rough), 84, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 98, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 108, 110, 111, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 122, 125, 126, 127, 128, 130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 143, 144, 146, 149, 153, 156, 157, 158, 159, 161, 162, 163, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 174, 175, 176, 178, 179, 181, 183, 184, 185, 187, 188, 189, 190, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 198, 199, 201, 203, 206, 209, 216, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 231, 233, 240, 242, 243, 246, 247, 250, 251, 254, 255, 256, 257, 260 (Drysdale), 264, 267, 268, 272, 273, 278, 280, 281, 282, 284, 285, 286, 288, 289, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 299, 301, 303, 306, 307, 310, 312, 313, 314, 315, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 326, 328, 329, 330 (Colavito), 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 339, 343, 345, 346, 347, 348, 352, 355, 357, 358, 361, 362 (rough), 363, 365, 367, 369, 370, 372, 374, 377, 379, 381, 383, 388 (Clemente), 389, 390, 392, 393, 395, 397, 398, 404, 405 (Gehrig), 407, 411, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422, 428 (SP), 432, 433, 434, 436, 437, 438, 441, 449, 450, 452, 462, 463, 467, 468, 469, 471 (Rizzuto MVP), 473, 478 (Maris MVP), 479, 480 (Campanella MVP), 481 (Sauer MVP), 483 (Newcombe MVP), 486 (Groat MVP), 487, 488, 492, 494, 496, 497, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 508, 509, 513, 514, 517 (McCovey), 518, 521, 522, 523, 525, 527, 529, 530, 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540, 542, 543, 546, 550, 552, 555, 557, 559, 560, 561, 562, 563, 564, 565, 566 (Richards AS), 568 (Skowron AS), 569 (Herrera AS), 572 (Robinson AS), 573 (Boyer AS), 575 (Banks AS), 576 (Maris AS), 584 (Perry AS)
I also have these highs in rough shape with creases, rounded corners, etc., (the last 2 scans show 18 of them) for anyone looking for lower grade cards: 523, 540, 548, 548, 549, 549, 550, 550, 551, 552, 557, 558, 558, 561, 562, 566, 581, 582, 583.

I Need These 1961's (exmt. shape):
2 (Maris), 49 (NL Strikeout Leaders), 160 (Ford), 265 (Kubek), 287 (Yastrzemski), 344 (Koufax), 400 (Law), 415 (Aaron), 417 (Marichal), 425 (Berra), 430 (Mazeroski), 449 (Bolin), 461 (Burgess), 464 (Thomas), 465 (McMillan), 472 (Berra MVP), 477 (Fox MVP), 484 (Aaron MVP), 489 (Dropo), 528 (Ramos), 531 (Coates), 544 (Thomas), 549 (Smith), 577 (Aaron AS), 578 (Mantle AS), 579 (Mays AS), 580 (Kaline AS), 586 (Ford AS)
Also...some of the high numbers in my set (Mazeroski, Wilhelm and Friend immediately come to mind) have nice corners but are way off center, so if you have any highs that are decently centered and in nice shape but aren't on my need list, I may want to trade for them as upgrades. Keep that in mind, too.

I also have a wide variety of HOFers from the 50's through the 70's, if you would prefer to trade for those instead--Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Ford, Clemente, Robinson, Kaline, Ryan, Koufax, etc. If you're looking for high numbers/tough series from other years, I have a ton in all sorts of shape!! Many from 1957, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1971 and most of the 1972 set--many in really nice shape. Plus I have stars, variations/errors, Teams, LL's and other things to trade. Check out my bucket!

If you don't have anything from my list...I will consider trading for other things I don't need--especially if I have multiples of a particular card to trade--but you have to offer things that I could easily use as trade bait with other people for me to part with any high numbers. They are incredibly tough to come by.

I am particularly interested in these:
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 280 Lilly AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1962 Topps BB (haven't put a comprehensive need list together yet, but want to upgrade my set and could use sharp, decently centered cards as well as a few 'green tints')
• 1963 Fleer BB (need about 20 or so, including some HOF'ers, in exmt or better shape)
• 1964 Topps (just started upgrading this set, so could use many of the stars in exmt or better shape)
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1954 Bowman BB (looking for a starter set in ex+ shape)
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• I'm always interested in HOF'ers and high numbers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's.
• Plus, I'm forever looking to upgrade many other cards from my 1957-1972 sets, so if you have sharp cornered cards in nice shape, I may be able to use some of them.

Bump. Anyone have any of these guys to trade?

[JollyElm]

Let's give it a bump.

[JollyElm]

And another fruitless bump...

[JollyElm]

Check it out. I just added a scan of two PSA 7 high numbers I now have to trade.

[JollyElm]

Surely someone has 1961 high numbers to trade, yes??

[JollyElm]

Can anyone say "bump"?

[JollyElm]

Just added a PSA 7 Mickey Mantle World Series #307 and a PSA 5 Roger Maris All Star #576 (it looks much better than a 5, so I think the grade is a result of the t/b centering) to the trade pile. See the first scan.

[sfacujackcat]

Did you see my thread (not the one just created today, but the older one)? I have a Berra and Maris FS. Might also consider trading if you have something on my needs list. PM me if interested. Thanks.

[JollyElm]

Bump. Some cards added.

[JollyElm]

Once again ttt...

[tschock]

I have these 2. Nice cards but not the best centering. If interested, let me know. I'm looking for equitable return from the following:

[JollyElm]

Hey, thanks for the scans. Unfortunately, I need bettering centering on these guys. Sorry.

[JollyElm]

Still looking for high number/HOF'er traders...

[JollyElm]

Added a couple more cards, including the #542 Twins team and a PSA 7 Curtis.

[JollyElm]

Anyone else trying to work on this set?
