I've been very quiet the last several months. One big reason was the moving of two households 108 miles to the North. Anyone who has sold a house and moved any distance knows the work involved, and I was doing two at the same time. I am not complaining about that. What I AM complaining about is that I have totally misplaced my two recently acquired 1963 Milwaukee Sausage Rainiers cards. I have looked everywhere after I unpacked and I cannot locate those darn things. I hope they turn up someday. I did find three OBC cards when I unpacked here - I don't think I ever acknowledged their receipt or thanked the senders (I will do so on the Thanks server). Apparently lost in the move was both the sausage cards and my manners. On the collecting front I managed to complete the 1963, 1964, and 1965 Seattle Popcorn Cards sets. I am one card away on the 1967 and 1968 sets, and two away on the 1966 set. On the 1954 - 1962 sets, not so close. I'm still pretty much actively pursuing only vintage PCL items, especially the Seattle Rainiers.

After March a quarter of the way through the year i finally accomplished 2 of those goals. I finally got the last three cards for my 1953 Redman with tabs with Kurt Tourdot getting me the Reese and Jensen cards. I picked up the last one one Dimaggio on eBay. I also broke down and bought the 1983 traded set and now only have 4 UV sets left. I am not thinking to trying for the diferent expiration dates but it might be thought as something down the line when i get the last 33 1952 i need. As for my other goals I havent even seen the last 3 62 Post football player i need although my favorite Packer card dealer at local shows has been MIA for about 7 months right after we was going to make me a deal on the McGee and Moore cards. Hope his relative didn't have him committed:-). On a more serious note i wish to apologize for not being very active in trading as my son , girlfirend and dogs and soon to be grandson moved back in with us as he finishes up his undergraduate studies at Minnesota. He has been accepted at Colorado State Master program and i will get the basement back for my card which has been put in a crawlspace for the past two and half years and hard for me to get to with a torn Achilles tendon just healing, and two people (one paying the freight and getting the least choices) living in the same house. I quite sure noone has any idea what i am ranting about :=) hopefully in July when things get back to empty nesting ii am going to get my cards back out and start dealing again.

Hello All, Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Danny Phillips who is a dealer from outside of Columbus Ohio who sets up at the Gibraltar and Redford shows on occasion, he also is a regular at the National though I don't recall stopping by his table while there (maybe some of youknow of him). Danny set up for a "one-man" shoe at the local Baymont Inn about a mile from my house so I had to make some time and check it out . Any way - I cruised through his 90% off boxes and found a nice stackof hits to the list and found cheap cards for: `36 Goudey; `40 Playball;`48 Leaf; `49, `50, `51 , `53, `54 Bowman; `52, `55, `57 Topps and a bunch ofNorm Cash, YAZ and TIGER cards. I had a pretty good show I think!!! Danny had reserved a small conference room at the hotel and was set up with plenty of room to move around. It was relaxing to just sit with Danny and a few other collectors, go through cards, BS look at the Masters on the hotel TV. Danny is in tune to OBC material and was very helpful, wish brings me to his proposal. Danny showed me a box of about 2000 cards that he was filling to a 3000 count box that he was wondering if I would have any interest in. He had about 20% from the `50's, `30% from the 60's and the rest about half with material from the `70's. He wanted $150 for the lot and I would call it a good bargain butI had spent my limit and was not in need of moredupe box material. It was not all commons with names like McCovey, Torre, Perry, Munsonand Cepeda in a stack that I looked through, the condition varied but was not brutal IMHO. As we spoke I suggested that I put out a shout to the group and see if anyone has an interest in such a lot. He will be set up in Strongsville next week and since I am planning on going down therenext weekend with Mike Rich I can pick it up and ship it out to whoever may be interested. I will have to ask for shipping costs but think I can do that reasonably, perhaps $15 - $20, maybe less. OBC friendly dealer Kurt Tourdot has put together lots like these for OBC'ers that have been well received - I bought such a lot from him a number of years ago and enjoyed the experience. Perhaps one of you that have no local show to attend would like this opportunity to get a large lot of cheap cardboard to go through. Just let me know in the next few days and I can give Danny the "heads-up" and he can bring it along. Now for a shameless plug - I picked up a nasty looking `57 Koufax card leaving me with the Brooksie RC to finish the set. If anyone has a Brooks Robinson #328 card from the `57 Topps set that you can trade I will make it worth your while. With guys finishing off sets left and right here I'd love to get in on the fun - Any heroes out there???? I just watched the TIGERS go 2-0 with a trouncing of the Red Stockings of Boston on the tube while catching up on emails, a nice wayto spend a Saturday afternoon. Donna just left to get our Daughter Kendall at school, she will be spending a day or so with Mom & Dad for the holiday. I hope each and every one of you enjoy this holiday weekend, I know we will, BE WELL!!!

He inquired about the National. Nothing like jumping off the high board immediately upon joining the group. I remember 12 years ago when I joined OBC in June and 2months later met many a member at the National in Cleveland. I think I have missed 2 Nationals since then (LA and 1 in Chicago that I had a family obligation). I have been waffling about going to Baltimore, but have the time off from work already reserved. I was telling Wes about the swap and that we usually attend a ball game. I just checked the O's schedule and was really surprised that they are on the road the whole week. First time I can remember that the local team was not at home during the National. The Washington Nationals are at home, but they are an hour away. The Bowie BaySox are a little closer at 40 minutes away, and are also at home. I have notbeen to the Nationals new stadium, so, assuming I attend the National AND if I can find transportation to go, I am leaning toward trying the Nationals. Would there be mass transit to DC from Baltimore? Mac, what days are you going to the show and are you "commuting" or staying in Baltimore? Nextweek Strongville show, only a few weeks until the Toronto show. I doubt Iwill make the Robert Morris show this year. Next show would then be the National. Less than 4 months to get ready.

Does anyone in our group have any experience collecting advertising trade cards ACC designation "H"? Sports, baseball, non-sports, comic sports? How about baseball-themed postcards from before 1910? I'm working on an article, have done a fair amount of research, and was looking for some additional views. Frank Keetz is the current authority in this area and I've interviewed him as well as Ray Medeiros.

Haven't made any arrangements yet though...so if anyone wants to talk about a room, or staying in DC, let me know. There are transportation options to the Nats stadium...the MARC train leaves from near Camden, and drops at union station (catch washington metro to ball park from there)...but the hours are limited. Amtrak is an option too.Probably easiest if one person (whose name might be Ed Schott) drove a bunch of interested people there and back again. Good to hear the new guy might be there...it's a great time...hope everyonemakes it (especially lollygaggers Gioia and Talbot...among others who weremissed last year) To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com From: mikesportsfan@aol.com Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2012 11:36:59 +0000 Subject: [OBC-Ramblings] National I have already been e-mailing with new member Wes Shepard.

I picked them up at their hotel and we traveled to meet-up with Rich. We caught a table at "Steak 'N Shake" inside the South Pointe Casino & Hotel. We chatted for quite awhile. I knew Joe was a U.S. Capitol policeman but was impressed to learn Kat also was. The both work in and around the Senate. Pretty cool to hear about their job. Aswith every OBC meeting the conversation was about cards and our lives. And it's obvious Joe has the full support of Kat for being a member of OBC.I talked for too much. Joe and Kat treated Rich and I to a great sandwich. The meeting was all too brief again but was very satisfying nonetheless to have the opportunity to meet another OBCer and chat. Always a terrific experience. Thanks Joe and Kat!

Ron Perry showed up at 9:01, followed 10 seconds later by Mark Talbot. We immedaitely headed out to Ohio . I let them know we needed to make a shortstop on the way. Little did they realize until about 15 seconds before wegot there, that we were picking up John McLaughlin to join us. Even with the stop, we showed up exactly at noon. The show closed at 6:00, but we had already left (at 5:55). We ended up driving back to Tolledo to Tony Packo's of MASH fame) for dinner. After dropping John back off, we made it back to my house around 10:10. I would think a great time was had by all, as we all seemed to get some excellent hits, with Ron finishing a set, John getting within 1, Mark getting some prewar, and I got 65 items. I picked up a 55 Topps Doubleheader Williams, plus 2 others, to get within 4 of completion, including 2 commons. My best buy were 2 different purchases of 62 Post Canadian BB, mainly shortprints. At the first table, I had called Peter Mead, because he is so actively going after these. He only needed 9, and the dealre had 6. Peter thought the rpicing was too steep on 2 of them, andI picked up the other 4, with the intent of getting them for Peter. I picked up a few more for myself. At the very next table, there was a bunch of62 Post Canadian BB shortprints in OBC condition, that I was able to get for around 15% of book. For the sp's, I thought this was still pretty good.This got me down to 15, which made me reconsider what Peter would get. Even though I needed 3 of the 4, I am only going to keep 1 (Bridges) for myself with Peter getting 3. This puts Peter at 6 and me at 14 to complete the set. Other ke hits were a 36 Diamond Star high number (plus a duupe highnumber) to get me within 5 of the base set, a 62 Stat Back Exhibit to get within 2, what I think are a pair of 63 Bazooka ATG (there is no gold on back, so these may be reprints, as they are not silver either)to get within 3on that set. A 51 Topps Ringside, narrows that list to 2 also. One card I was hesitant to buy was a 1928 Yuengling as it was my 2nd. As we know 1 is a type and 2 means you are collecting them. Other type cards included my first Philadelphia American Scrapper (boxing) card, and my first 3 1936 Wheaties Series 3. The Whheaties were accopanied by 4 Series 1. All 7 are of the "die cut" varaition, meaning when they cut them off the box, they cut the outline of the player, wihtout any of the background. At $2 each I could not resist. The 45 hits were apread over 18 sets. For 11 of those sets, I only got a single hit. Other than the Post Canadina BB, no set got more than 5 hits (T-206). A great day spent with OBCers and getting hits. The show was significantly smaller than last year, but every dealer had vintage, which caused it to still take all day to get around 1 small room.

Yesterday morning Mike Rich, Mark Talbot and Ron Perry stopped at my place and let me tag along to the Strongsville card show. I really didn't know what to expect from this show, but I knew it would be a fun day with some good friends. As it turned out I think we were all pleased with the vintage offerings at this show. I picked up cards from 1955 Topps (Johnny Sain), 1959 and 1960 (36 cards for $15), 1965 Topps (21 cards including some star cards like #5-AL RBI Leaders Robinson-Stuart-Mantle-Killebrew), 1972 Topps (8 hi numbers) and a 1973 Tom Seaver. My main focus though was to try to find at least a couple of the last four still needed to finish my 1968 Topps set. I needed the big two, Koosman RC and the Mantle, plus a couple not so big cards that just continue to elude my grasp, Rod Carew AS and Lee May. The Carew card was easy, found a nice EX-MT card that I splurged $5 for but it took about 6 or 7 dealers before I finally tracked down that pesky May card. Now I'm down to the big two... and Uncle Dick had a 1968 Rookie Stars Koosman-Ryan card at his table that looked good to me, so now I'm down to one. Upon our return to my neighborhood we stopped at Tony Packo's Cafe for some good chow. Not only did Mike drive me to and from and all around but he also handed me a pack of nine 1973 Topps to add to the rest of my stash. Thanks to Mike for the cards and all the guys for great day.

Ran into Roger Neufeldt as soon as I went in. Browsed a little there, but didn't find anything that fit my list. I also ran into Dave Trimble, who many will recognize. He clearly remembers driving down from Utah to V05 and opening up his trailer/card shop for us, and playing in the golf tournament. I purchased a '69 Bart Starr from him to cut that list down to 3... picked up 2 of those 3 from a couple other dealers... and that was it. A pretty disappointing show, to be quite honest. Way too much shiny stuff (and I'm not opposed to shiny stuff from time to time) and way too many vintage cards in plastic tombs. I almost bit on a '57 baseball 3/4 Big Blony checklist, but $150 for a marked checklist proved to be too rich for my blood. Also saw a Tipton-mint (and likely PSA 1) '52T Jackie Robinson, but the dealer's best price was $290. Had to walk away from that one, too. I searched high & low for a T205 Wilhelm, but no luck there. As I was leaving, I walked by a big bin of bargain vintage and noticed a few cards I wished I'd have seen earlier. Frankly, I wished I'd have spent some time at that bin earlier in the day - I might have been able to pick out some gems. Oh well. ================= Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2012 20:02:48 -0700 (PDT) To: dugout traders , From: John Dahms Subject: waiver wire offer--1965 philidelphia football #183 (redskins team card) title says it all except it is in tipton (poor) condition first come, and pls send address John Dahms 3260 Kingsbrook Dr. #601 Jackson, MI ================= Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2012 20:40:18 -0700 (PDT) To: dugout traders , From: John Dahms Subject: small lot of 150 or so 77 topps available these all have writing on the back, and some on the front...names like ryanand jackson included. must take all if no one claims they go in the trash. please send address with request John Dahms 3260 Kingsbrook Dr. #601 Jackson, MI ================= Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:56:45 +0000 (UTC) To: mikesportsfan From: talbot1@comcast.net Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] Strongsville show report Hello All, John and Mike have already chimed in with their take of the weekend show in Strongsville Ohio. This is the second year that I have accompanied the FOOT contingency to the show that I understand has been going on for quite some time. It was a very enjoyable event but I was slightly disappointed that we were not surprised by any of the Central Ohio OBC'ers appearance at the show. I kept looking over my shoulder for the likes of Bill Malson or Joe Issac but alas it was not to be. Imade my way throughout the room and picked up items from many dealers but did not find any key cards that were in my price range, instead I brought home over 100 hits to many different sets on my want-list. The highlights included about (20) `52 Look & See cards with the Ruth and Rockefeller,some Exhibits with DiMaggio and Gehringer, about (20) Post Canadian cards,(3) `39 Playball HI numbers, a half dozen T-206 cards, a stack of 30+ late`60's OPC Hockey cards and some Red Man cards to name a few. It was a successful show. It's always nice to be able to find old cardboard that isdesired but as is always the case the most enjoyable occurrence of the event is to be able to hang out with OBC friends and just talk. The stopover in Toledo at famous eatery Tony Packo's was especially enjoyable as wegot a chance to sample the local cuisine and spend another hour together before returning John to his lovely wife Renee. About the only thing that could have been better would have been a Mud Hens game on the way home,but we did think about the likelihood of getting down to 5/3 field this year for a game and perhaps we will do that. Many thanks to Mike for driving and Ron and John for joining us - a good time washad by all!!!

Mike, Mark, and John have weighed in on the journey, so I'll cut to the cards. To start the day, Mike slipped me a 52 Wheaties of Tom Fears and Mark chipped in two early Bowmans including Sherman Lollar. At the show I was able tofind the Clemente rookie which finishes the 55 Topps set. Also picked up several 52 Wheaties including both Otto Graham and both Doak Walker cards. Found about 20 hits to the 51, 52 and 54 Bowman baseball sets including high numbers and a Campanella. Also numerous hits to 65 Topps hockey and 70-71 basketball. Wrapped up with plenty of odds and ends to make this a great show. I've been working on the 69 Topps baseball stamps set and am down to less than 40 and they are mostly commons. I have dupes. Anyone interested in swapping? ================= To: Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:16:55 -0400 From: Mac Wubben Subject: Last card hero needed!

In some cases where the seller says he is too busy, I respond by explaining to him how important the numbers are, and how I can bid more if I know what is actually being offered. More often than not, if it a dozen items or less, I get the info I need. If not, I either dont bid or bid significantly less, hoping I may win and get lucky.

I have been in a number of similar situations. In most cases, I email the seller, and get the information I need. In some cases where the seller says he is too busy, I respond by explainingto him how important the numbers are, and how I can bid more if I know what is actually being offered. More often than not, if it a dozen items or less, I get the info I need. If not, I either dont bid or bid significantly less, hoping I may win and get In a message dated 4/19/2012 11:19:36 A.M. Central Daylight Time, yazobc@insightbb.com After months of not searching for cards, I gave it a shot the other day on ebay and made a search for some '53 higher numbers, hoping to get a lot with some numbers I needed and some to finally pass around. All I could find were pictures of cards, most were fanned out, and no numbers to go by. I spent 2 hours matching up faces I could see with numbers in the book. Finally ended up bidding on one lot and lost but overall it surely dampened my enthusiasm. I'm not sure I want to spend that much time doing the seller's work.

I emailed the seller telling him I couldn't read the names or see the numbers and asked if he could please list them for me. he responded back with "I wish I could but I don't have the time, look at the picture and match the names with the numbers in a book" am I wrong to be frustrated by this? or is this normal I don't sell on ebay and I understand someone who has a ton of items, but what happened to good old customer service? thanks for letting me vent John Dahms 3260 Kingsbrook Dr. #601 Jackson, MI ================= To: wmcashton@aol.com, obc-ramblings@yahoogroups.com Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:10:41 -0400 (EDT) From: trufan999@aol.com Subject: Return thanks Thanks to Bill Ashton for a return from my waiver wire.

I usually attend, although Ido not know if I will be there all 3 days. Usually Gord Ellis is there onFriday and Carlos Alcazar on Saturday. While I am there primarily to lookfor prewar and oddball hockey and Canadian issued baseball, it is getting harder to find hits. Aside from having gone to the show probably around 15times, so I have gone through many dealers invetory repeatedly, and the show getting smaller over time, the Canadian Dollar is now about par with theUS Dollar. At various times I have been able to get up to 60% premium on my US Dollar. The lack of the premium makes prices significantly higher. That said, I am happy to try and shop for your Canadian needs. Send me your lists, with condition requirements and what you are willing to pay, and Iwill try and shop for you. This is especially good for those working on OPC. If you are interested in starting a set or 2, let me know and I will see what I can find. DO NOT SEND ME YOUR COMPLETE WANTLIST, JUST CANADIAN ISSUES!

I usually attend, although I do not know if I will be there all 3 days. Usually Gord Ellis is there on Friday and Carlos Alcazar on Saturday. While I am there primarily to look for prewar and oddball hockey and Canadian issued baseball, it is getting harder to find hits. Aside from having gone to the show probably around 15 times, so I have gone through many dealers invetory repeatedly, and the show getting smaller over time, the Canadian Dollar is now about par with the US Dollar. At various times I have been able to get up to 60% premium on my USDollar. The lack of the premium makes prices significantly higher. That said, I am happy to try and shop for your Canadian needs. Send me your lists,with condition requirements and what you are willing to pay, and I will try and shop for you. This is especially good for those working on OPC. If you are interested in starting a set or 2, let me know and I will see what I can find. DO NOT SEND ME YOUR COMPLETE WANTLIST, JUST CANADIAN ISSUES! Please send by May 1, so I can print them out and take them with me to the show. E-mail me with questions.

It has been almost a year since I have sent out cards, since I moved I still have not found my dupes box. I have received quite a few packages and feel horrible that I have not returned the favor. There have been so many things going on right now...One is my job...I still have a job but I am in Limbo, as I need bcd surgery and refuse to get it as I am scared to death to get it. My job won't put me out on disability unless I have the surgery, and I am not going to get the surgery just to get disability. Second my son Tony is totally wrapped up in baseball, and since we had such a great warm winter Tony and I have been practicing all year...he played ball in a league until november last year. He has put in so much time, and It makes me so proud to see the progress he has made...He went from one of the Lower round pics last year in the draft to a top pick this year, and asof now is the top player in the league. So most of my free time goes to working with Tony. Another thing that has me thinking, is it seems I have lost the desire right now, I don't go to shows anymore other then to meet players and get autographs, I don't even look at cards on ebay. Another reason for my debate is heck the few times I have free time I spend it with my wife either going out or just chilling out with her...no jokesince i stopped with the baseball cards me and my wife's relationship has really gone to a new level, and I love it so much. Basically what I am trying to say is my free time i do everything I can to spend it with my Family.

As a bennie for running the auction, Mark Talbot included some faux-T202 cards that I love! I bought a few boxes of these when Upper Deck put them out in 1993 and open one every once in a while. They are the only modern set I like, so I love trying to piece together sets on a rainy day (with a new craft beer, usually)...thanks, Mark! My second bennie came today from Brian Lindholme - a book written by Bob Probert! I really liked Probert, especially when he was on the Blackhawks. He could be the tough guy against the Maple Leafs Ty Dohme (not sure how that's spelled), but he could contribute on the offensive end as well...fun guy to watch! I've been hinting about getting an Al Secord, red Blackhawks jersey (I know, sweater) every year for my birthday. It started out as small hints, but it's gotten to the point of "If I only get one gift, I want it to be a red, Al Secord Blackhawks jersey." Somehow, the hint is always overlooked.

I've used them for 15 years and am having the same issues. I finally submitted an email to them and was told that they have not yet transferred old pages yet the new format but that this will happen sometime. They will not give me atime frame so I'm also in the market for a new web site. I may end up using theOBC web pages.

I did manage to finish off my 1959 Topps gray back/white back variations, & also picked up a '59 Musial to get the base set down to 4 (Two Bobs & two Mickeys). Made a dent in my '64 set, getting it down to a baker's dozen. I also snagged a six-pack of '40 Play Balls from William Chappell for 2 bucks each, and also splurged $2 & bought my first-ever 1964 Topps Standup. Ken's '68 set is getting close to completion but I struck out trying to help him find a Fergie Jenkins and/or a Joe Sparma. On the way out Ken let me go through a dupes box he had stashed in his trunk & I came away with a pair of '79 Kellogg's & a '61 Fleer. Not the greatest of Moeller shows, but I got to meet up with 2 OBC'ers - only missing Gersh from the SW Ohio/KY chapter - and it was a good warm-up for the Columbus show next month, and for the National in August. ================= To: Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:31:01 -0500 From: "George and Susan Vrechek" Subject: Re: 1963 Topps Variation Dear Ray, It's a slight cropping difference on Wyatt.
