Yup, I have the '65. What I'm looking for is a Japanese issued card. I've got a small but cool collection of those. Lots of fun to collect. Anyone interested in a new challenge or just collecting baseball card books should find a copy of this one. I've seen it for maybe a couple of bucks on Amazon.

He was a big deal for a short while back when he broke in over here. I've been trying for a long time to add one of his Japanese cards to my collection of them but I can't find one for a decent price. For as long as he pitched there and as popular as he was I'd have thought that there would be...

Good idea I have two, Both are linked in my sig below. But I'll do it here, too. My '59 Topps blog is exactly that. I'm posting a 1959 Topps baseball card 3 to 4 times a week. I try to give a brief (sometimes very brief) bio of the player or at least mention highlights and I link to pages of...

Very nice. Bobby Hull was well known for his signing habits. You'd see him after games at MSG standing at the front of the teams' bus signing for everyone who wanted one while the rest of the team sat inside the bus and waited.

I'm glad the vintage stuff is welcome here. And I'm learning about some of the newer issues. I'm in the process of upgrading some of the lesser conditioned cards in my '59 set. Almost all of them now are at least fair and the vast majority would be VG or Excellent if I was collecting graded...

Cool cards, the Black Hawk logo is one of the iconic symbols in sports. Nube question... why is an upcoming set labeled 2011-2012?

OK, maybe this isn't a new shiny one, But it IS a rookie. And it's one that was new to me in 1959. I built my '59 set card by card a few years ago and this Bob Gibson Rookie is the only one that comes from my childhood collecting days. Love the pink frame, I even love the dings and tape stains...

My client is invoking his Fifth Amendment rights at this point, Your Honor. signed, Commish's lawyer ;)

You can get some of the League Leader cards he appeared on cheaper than his base cards. And check for his 2012 A&G I think it's really nice. Another quote from a post of mine:

Christian, I have a Koufax collection, he's probably my favorite non-Oriole player. I featured his 1959 Topps card here on my '59 blog. One of the best baseball books I've ever read is this one. I wrote about the book on in a different blog post. I'll quote myself: I am not plugging my blog...

Mike, I had heard them referred to from time to time but I knew next to nothing about them either. I've got about ten early century sets as 'saved searches' on eBay and every once in awhile I'll just poke through them hoping for a bargain to pop up. I've seen these going for much more than I...

I'm glad to see that vintage cards are appreciated. I lurk in a vintage forum elsewhere and those guys are kind of snobby. This place is very welcoming. :thumbsup:

I'm leaning that way, too. btw.... your card got mailed 2day.

This arrived today. An eBay win. 1906 Fan Craze Irv Young. He pitched from 1905-1911, mostly for Boston of the N.L. He holds the post 1900 record for the most wins in a season by a pitcher with a below .550 record. He went 20-21 in 1905. It's in super condition, looks even better than my scan...

Makes sense. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks guys

Mike, a question or two, please. Would a retail pack pull be considered 'purchased'? I know that sounds dumb on the surface but when I say I 'bought' a card I would be referring to one I specifically bought, at a show, Check Out My Cards, etc. Is an eBay win via auction a 'bought' card? This...

Voted! And not for mine :unsure: Some cool cards to choose from. I enjoyed looking at them all.

Baseball, mostly but not exclusively pre 1980. Tobacco, Japanese, late 50's and all Orioles Football, 50s and 60s star cards, mostly Colts and a few modern Texan cards Hockey, mostly 50s and 60s Rangers cards only A few non-sports vintage tobacco inserts, and a few Mars Attacks and Horrors of War.

Thanks to all for the welcome.

Mike, it's football only. Many of the guys have been in it since the beginning, or close to it. We've known each other since our college days way back when so it's a good way to keep in touch. I won't hold your Cowboy-ishness against you. Have you tried therapy? :flapper: And as for 'stuff'...
