While look at my 1950 Callahans, I think I may have found some errors in my 2009 Standard Catalog. I haven't checked to see if these errors are in other editions. The catalog lists two variations in the "Museum Exterior View" card -- "No date on back" and "1954 on back". However, these are variations in the museum INTERIOR card, not the EXTERIOR card. Similarly, variations are listed in the Interview view card but those variations apply to the EXTERIOR view card. Could someone confirm this? I think I know the difference between an "Exterior" and an "Interior" view. I told Gary Mandell about these to see if he has both versions and is aware of the error. Now he wonders if there are other errors in the Standard Catalog. I don't collect variations so I'll merely list the ones I see in my catalog and ask people to tell me if they know of others. Chief Bender: (a) Bio ends "immortal name for him." (b) Bio ends "died in 1954." Mickey Cochran: (a) Name incorrect (b) Name correct Eddie Collins: (a) Second paragraph begins "Eddie had every" (b) Second paragraph begins "He was brilliant" Bill Dickey: (a) First paragraph ends "He was right-handed all the way." (b) Second paragraph ends "during his final year." Charlie Gehringer: (a) White cap. (b) Dark cap. George Sisler: (a) Bio ends "Sisler today is." (b) Bio ends "Sisler was chosen as."

Eastern Standard Time, srittenberg@gmail.com writes: Hi all. While look at my 1950 Callahans, I think I may have found some errors in my 2009 Standard Catalog. I haven't checked to see if these errors are in other editions. The catalog lists two variations in the "Museum Exterior View" card -- "No date on back" and "1954 on back". However, these are variations in the museum INTERIOR card, not the EXTERIOR card. Similarly, variations are listed in the Interview view card but those variations apply to the EXTERIOR view card. Could someone confirm this? I think I know the difference between an "Exterior"; and an "Interior"; view. I told Gary Mandell about these to see if he has both versions and is aware of the error. Now he wonders if there are other errors in the Standard Catalog. I don't collect variations so I'll merely list the ones I see in my catalog and ask people to tell me if they know of others. Chief Bender: (a) Bio ends "immortal name for him." (b) Bio ends "died in 1954." Mickey Cochran: (a) Name incorrect (b) Name correct Eddie Collins: (a) Second paragraph begins "Eddie had every" (b) Second paragraph begins "He was brilliant" Bill Dickey: (a) First paragraph ends "He was right-handed all the way." (b) Second paragraph ends "during his final year." Charlie Gehringer: (a) White cap. (b) Dark cap. George Sisler: (a) Bio ends "Sisler today is." (b) Bio ends "Sisler was chosen as." Paul Waner: (a) Complete black frame around picture. (b) Bottom missing on black frame around picture. Museum Exterior View: (a) No date at top of list on back. (b) 1954 on top of list on back. Museum Interior View: (a) Back copy ends "... to all baseball men." (b) Back copy ends "... playing days are concluded." Thanks for reading.

Part story telling, part inspiration, part self-help. On my personal bucket list is a trip to the Negro League Museum in Kansas City. I laughed, cried and smiled all over again. If you can only read one book this year--read this Also just read this year's Casey winner on Bill Veeck. Another great read--well researched, documented and presented.

Posted by: "Andy Huntoon" cobbspikedme Hey all, I've been working on my wantlists lately and have added several new sets to it in the last couple weeks. The oddball sets that I added recently are: 1968 Atlantic Oil (I love this set!), 1970 Topps Super, 1966 Topps Rub-Offs, 1967 Topps Posters and 1969 Topps Decals. After picking up a nice lot of cards with the help of Jake Elwell I've added several Topps Base Sets from the 60's that just weren't on my lists yet. I've added 1960, 1961, 1965, 1968 and 1969. I've been really focused lately on my 1975 Topps (need 43), 1976 Topps (need 43), 1981 Topps (only need 6 more of these!), 1968 Atlantic Oil and 1968 Topps Game sets if anyone can help with those too.

If anyone else is interested, let me know. I have come across a stack of older Becketts (mostly baseball but all sports) from the 1988-1995 time frame. I don't know anyone who actually collectsthese and I'm getting ready to just dump them to the recycle bin, but as the hoarder I am, I hate to just "throw them out", especially if there mightbe some of interest to those player/team collectors out there. During thistime, they had some great cover player photos (back, front, and interior cover pages) along with some nice artwork. Of course, most were from the current players but there were some old-schoolers as well. If anyone is interested in certain players, or certain teams, and wants me to pull them for you, PLEASE let me know.

He has been giving them away a few at a time to kids, coaches of sports teams, etc. Today I had a quick look at them. They consist of many (30+) complete sets of Topps and Donruss baseball and football cards, mostly from 1987-1988, but also some back to 1984, and all in mint condition in boxes. He must have at least ten complete sets of 1988 Topps football, which listson Dean's Cards for $108. He'd like to get rid of them, and would like to be paid a reasonable amount. I'm really not interested myself in cards from this time period, but would like to help my neighbor dispose of these. Any ideas on how I should counsel him? Although as mentioned, he would liketo be paid, my guess is he would be willing to accept less than "market" value (whatever that is). A proper inventory of what he's got would take a few hours, I guess. Thanks.

Btw--- I very rarely work with "new" cards. I have a question to ask the sage UV guys in this sector of our group...are any of you "CHROMIES"??
My neighbor Bob is a newer card collector. He has thousands of the past several years with chrome, refractors, signatures and his real favorite...patches.
We hang out sometimes and talk cards and sports but we are kinda worlds apart in what we collect.
If there are Chromies out there with certain needs and want to pass along their list, LMK.
I can get a list from Bob too.
I'll need a rosetta stone to figure out what this all means, but I'd like to see if I can help in anyway!

(note, I included Ramblings just to get a few more eyeballs on my email...I'll try to stick an old card in the mail for someone as penance ;))

I have all my arrangments booked except the rental car They must know the desperate baseball fans will pay the ransom for the week. Its' actually waaaay more to rent a car for the time I'll be down there than it is for my airfare! Here's what I have up my sleeve I'll be in AZ from the 12th through the 17th. The first couple days I will be an hour south of Phoenix in AZ City visiting my uncle. I have the most available time on March 14th (Thursday), although the otherdays could work too. We ( some work buddies) are staying at the Talking Stick Resort and Casino this year. We decided to fancy up our stay a little :) Plus, as you may know, the Salt River fields are right across the road. BEAUTIFUL We have tix for 3 games, 2 of them there on SAT and SUN. The Friday game isin Scottsdale Stadium, a WS rematch betwixt the Giants and Rangers. Now, being based in Scottsdale for the end of the week puts me close to anyaction, but I may or may not have wheels. The other guys are sales guys who can likely use rewards points to buy the car, putting me at their mercy but giving me a boost in the wallet. Has anyone else made their plans yet? I know the tix were going faster thisyear than last, (although still modestly priced) if you have a group who wants to sit together.... If I know who might be coming, I'll try to throw some "OBC handshake" cards in my luggage !!

I agree that it is stupid to keep his name off of the card--though maybe they are holding back to issue "corrected" versions to boost sales. At the same time, Pete Rose used amphetamines for much of his career--whichwere illegal then and are now banned. So, in a sense, his case is not that different from McGwire (and most of the other 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s players for that matter). Just my two cents...

Todays show also included an autograph guest DuJuan Harris, a running back with the GB Packers $10 for his signature I passed. For a small local card show there always seems to be plenty of our kind of stuff,and today was no exception. I joined the growing number of OBCers collecting the 1977 Charlie=92s Angels cards, I picked up a box of 215 of the 253 cards along with 33 of the 44 stickers. Got all these for $18 or about .07 cents each a pretty good deal I thought. I=92m also now collecting the 1976 Donruss Bionic Woman set, I picked up 35 of the 44 cards in the set, forgot what I paid but they were pretty cheap. Only one duplicate. Also picked up eight diff 1963? Abby Monster Magic Action trading cards. These appear to be unnumbered. They include this plastic viewer that you rub on the card and it makes them look like they are moving, super cool. In fact they are so cool I just bought three complete sets of 24 cards with viewers on ebay:) These sets were $10 plus shipping seemed to be underpriced from the other eBay listings? Let me know if these are on your wantlist. Anybody heard of these? Anybody want a set when they arrive? I met a retired Navy submariner, and he had some 1941 GUM Uncle Sam cards including several from the Sailor series and I bought them thinking perfect for Lynn Miller. But when I got home he already has all of these numbers, might just add this set to my wantlist now, or drop in my newly established =93pre-war=94 box. haha I continued to hammer my late 60s and 70s football card list, I=92m still finding hits in the 15 cards for a dollar box. I must have spent an hour going through these cards. One dealer had this big sign MAKE OFFER. He had a binder with several 64 Topps baseball along with a few 57 Topps and 67 Toppstoo. I made a quick count of these cards at ten cents each and bought the whole binder. Cannot compare this find to the Baltimore =93SEWER FIND=94 lol. This same dealer had a 1969 Topps Mantle =93Decal=94 wanted $10 but I offered $5 he wouldn=92t take it. He did sell me two Thurman Munson rookies 1970 Topps #189 in real nice shape for $5 for both seemed like to good a deal to pass up. These are available to trade LMK. Bought a 1966-67 Topps hockey checklist #66 marked and wrote on Tipton Mint. Dealer had $40 said it was an expensive checklist because Bobby Orr is onthe card? But I got it for $5 seems like an OK deal it=92s available to trade. Picked up sixteen 1973 Topps baseball checklists (the blue ones) I have seen these on someones wantlist. A couple of duplicates and a couple are trimmed, I have the full set already these are available LMK. Soupy Sales cards, Outer Limits, my first Addams Family, 007, a handful of Topps JFK cards, may start these sets, time will tell. Also did some good damage to my early 70s basketball sets. Left show with two single dollar bills in my wallet, had a heck of a good time. I=92ve updated my wantlists, now have to sort and get all these cards put away. And I always check these cards against what I already have in my binders and upgrade when I can.

We were talking about the 1949 Joe Gordon card, which is rather unusual, and he had a good back story about it. And that got me to thinking. In this diverse group, I am sure every one of us has at least one unusual or unique vintage card. I think it would be pretty cool to know what they are. As some of you know, I write a sports card/sports book blog for my newspaper, The Tampa Tribune. If you don't, here is the link to my latest entry: http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/comments/negativity-gets-a-positive-= And here is my Twitter: @BobDAngelo1. Follow me if you want. Enough shameless plugs. Here is what I would like to do. If you are interested in sharing your most unusual or unique vintage card -- or even vintage memorabilia -- with my audience, drop me a line via email at bdangelo@aol.com. I will set up an interview and we can chat about it for a few minutes. We can do it by phone (preferably) or by e-mail (as an alternative). If youhappen to have a scan of the card, that would be very helpful, too. Remember, it doesn't have to be your most expensive card. I am looking for something offbeat, odd or even amusing. But I want it to be a vintage card. I like the idea because it's always a thrill to meet up with OBCers. This gives me a chance to connect with even more of you. And if the response is plentiful, then all of us can see some of our unique cards/memorabilia.

Or not to grade? Grading is subjective...period. And in my opinion a waste of time and money (that can be spent searching and buying cards you want). My suggestion is educate yourself. Spend a lot of time (and a little money)looking at or buying magazines, books, articles of the sets you are interested in. Speak to other collectors and dealers that you know and trust. My rather large T205 collection is nearly all ungraded. The only graded cards I own (6 of over 1,500) are because I bought them that way and am too lazy to crack them out. There are a lot of fakes. I can say with certainty that in the last 15 years of collecting pre-war cards I have not been burned once. That is because I buy what I know from people I trust. If I have a question about something, I ask my dealer friends, OBC, or other collectors. Eventually you will becomfortable to make the decisions yourself.

Fake t205s tend to be rare and obvious...fake t206's are all over the place. Post a scan and we could give a better opinion, but sight unseen, I'd say it's real. If you're keeping it, slabbing is a waste of money...if you're looking to sell it one day, it will probably help.

Is there anyone that has an opinion about early 20th century tobacco cards,in raw form or graded form? I am curious as to how many "fakes" are out there floating around in the market, and how, if any, problems arise for higher dollar t206, 205, 207 cards that are out there? I have recently acquired a decent looking poor/fair condition t205 Cobb, and I am thinking about getting it graded. However, I surely do enjoy it in raw form. I got it from a very reliable trader, who knows his stuff on pre war cards, and I trust him. Good or bad idea to grade? Any input or personal opinions are appreciated.
