I recently hit up that wondrous Virtual Quarter Bin that is Sportlots in search of some cards that I needed for my 1960 Topps set. I was able to knock off the equivalent of 3 nickel packs and with no doubles to boot. Of course, that would’ve run me 15¢ back in 1960, whereas I […]
Here’s the remainder of the 1960 Topps cards that Reader Jim traded me. #81 Russ Snyder Russ Snyder looks to be a pretty, um, shall we say, unexcitable fellow. He played 12 seasons of unflappable ball for 5 teams, including the A’s, the O’s, the White Sox, the Indians and the Brewers. During that time […]
Well, Christmas is over. It has been for a couple of days now. I reckon it’s about time to show some cards that I got in a trade with Reader Jim quite a spell ago, but just got around to posting now. Actually, I probably would’ve posted these sooner except for the fact that he […]
…my collection gave to me Six 1960 High Numbers, Five Checked Up Checklists, Four Mini Cards, Three Jersey Relics, Two 56’s, And a Cardboard Zeppelin!
A while back, Greg at the always excellent Night Owl Cards had posted a certain card of a certain Dodger from a certain 1960 Topps baseball card set that happened to be not only a card that I needed, but one that I had especially wanted for quite a while. In said post, he mentioned that […]
Today, we’re going to take a look at the last batch of cards that reader Michael sent me in exchange for doing up a custom set of 1938 Cubs cards. First off is a second year Gibby, which I guess is a little appropriate since the Cards won their 18th National League Pennant clinched another […]
Once upon a time, long ago, The Night Owl held a fun little contest where he cobbled together a ransom note-style message made up of different letters from various card fronts and your job was to match the letters with the card it was pulled from. Being a graphic designer who deals with fonts all […]
Today is a small step in the Quest for the 1960 Topps Set. Just one card. #349 Moe Drabowsky Myron Walter Drabowsky played for 8 teams over the course of his 17 year career. He spent time in Chicago with both the Cubs and the White Sox, in Milwaukee with the Bravos, in Kansas City […]
I was recently able to cross off another card from the 1960 Topps set. It’s not a Hall of Famer, but it is one of those kind of in between guys who was really good and is a little bit of tough card to get none the less. #365 Minnoe Minoso The Cuban born Saturnino […]
For the last month or so, this blog has been clogged up with all the cards that I scored during the month of June. That doesn’t mean that things weren’t happening, and happening quickly. Last week, AJ from The Lost Collector had contacted me about a card that he had for me from the 1960 […]
