Your top 5 postwar needs or want list

[sflayank]

1954 esskay jehosie heard
1953-54 briggs tommy byrne
1955 armour coin mickey mantle gold,silver
1961 gold mine bucks
1961 leader cleaners

[Seven]

If money was no object, in no specific order:

1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle
1953 Topps Mickey Mantle
1953 Stahl Meyer Mickey Mantle
1952 Tip-Top Bread Mickey Mantle

There might be a pattern.......

Edit: I will also say I think the 1951 Bowman, 1953 Topps, and 1953 Stahl-Meyer will be doable in my lifetime. The Tip Top bread issue and his 52 Topps won't be, short of me hitting lotto.

Hey, I have spent waaaaaaaaay too much time over the years studying the 1962 Topps set, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the 1962 Topps Green Tint - Wally Moon (NO HAT-graded) is a phantom card. It's simply his regular non-Green Tint that PSA mislabeled. They did label a few that way, so the slabs do exist, but they are nothing more than mislabeled cards. The pop report is rife with problems regarding all of the cards with pose changes. PSA was really lost early on with their 1962 checklist.

For instance (this is off the top of my head, but you can check the pop report to see all of the errors):

1. They graded a #159 Hal Reniff with 'Green Tint' on the label, which is completely wrong. The only greenie of Reniff is his wrongly numbered #139 card, which shows him pitching, and not as a portrait. All of his #159 cards are the regular versions.

2. Like the Moon, they have #174 Carl Willey with four different versions - with and without a cap in both regular and Green Tint form. Even though they labeled them as such, there is no such thing as a Carl Willey No Cap-Green Tint.

3. I believe early on the #132 Angels Team with the inset photos wasn't labeled as a Green Tint, even though they all are. So, there are probably 3 or 4 versions of that card in the pop, too.


Edited to add: I just checked and they also wrongly labeled a #139 Reniff portrait as a greenie. No such thing exists. All portraits, regardless of the number on back, are the regular versions.

1963 topps Clemente
1961 topps Berra

[Kutcher55]

75 Mini Sal bando. 75 mini Bill Buckner. 75 mini Frank Tanana. 75 mini George Foster. 75 mini #603. All PSA or SGC 8 range.

Easy ones for me all Red Schoendienst of course and I'm sure ones people get tired of me asking for.
Hard to pick just 5 but..

1. 1949 Schumacher Service station
2. 1952 tip top bread label
3. 1957 spic and span
4. 1956 team issue (Crazy short printed as he was traded early in the season)
5. Any salesman samples would be really cool

[egri]

Any of the signed 1953 Topps I still need for my set, but especially Bill Norman. He's the only one I haven't seen at all since starting nearly 10 years ago.

You will all no doubt be shocked to learn than my list is all about my man Mays, and picking up the last few pieces on the master set, plus one that is optional, and one that probably should be on the master set:

1963 Post Cereal complete panel

1964 sports heroes stickers (oddly enough, I have the full sheet with Mays, which PSA has declined to slab, but I don’t have the individual sticker, unless I want to cut it off of my full sheet.)

1966 Dominican Republic

1968 American Oil left side

1971 Bazooka numbered complete panel

[raulus]

And since we don’t have a card yet on this thread, here is the complete sheet for the 1964 sports heroes.

[Cliff Bowman]

I’ll cheat and do a 6 through 10.

6. 1967 Topps Punch Out Billy Williams
7. 1967 Topps Stand Up Ron Santo
8. 1947 Tip Top Andy Pafko
9. 1969 MLB Pin B&W Pin Ken Holtzman
10. 1971 Stadium Pin Jose Ortiz

ETA, actually I need 11.

11. 1971 Bazooka Numbered Randy Hundley

[sflayank]

Well, my good man, it’s not on the master set because no one has attempted to add it. For that matter, I didn’t know that a fullly intact panel still existed. But now that I’ve seen one, I’ll have to add it to my list.

Along those lines, let me know if you ever decide to part with this one.

[the 'stache]

I’ve knocked off several in the last two years, but now I’m working on some of the big boys.

At the top of my list is either a ‘57 or a ‘60 Topps Mickey Mantle in a PSA 5-6, with strong centering. That’s going to hurt.

Also, a ‘57 Topps Hank Aaron same condition and eye appeal.

A ‘53 Bowman Stan Musial.

Those three will take me a while.
