These are definitely not the coin sheets. I picked some up, and the 206's fit nicely. They look real sharp. Most of my old tobacco cards are non-sport, and I'm going to leave those in the 15 pocket pages. But I hadn't yet put my t206's in a binder. I wanted to see how they looked in teh 20 pocket beforemaking a decision. Again, they look sweet! ----- Original Message ----- From: mikesportsfan@aol.com To: tvalacak@comcast.net, OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 9:33:19 PM Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] 20 card sheets The 20 count sheets usually have square pockets and are great for coins (Salada, Armour, 1964 & 1971 Topps, Old London, etc.). The normal T-206 sheetsare now the 15 count pages, but I do have a few 18 count pages of 3 rows of 6 across. The T cards fit better in the Ultra Pro 15 count, than the 18 count.

The owner there has a real nice looking shop, great guy, but doesn't have boxes of cards to thumb through - which is always my favorite thing to do in the shops. However, it's always good conversation, and I always enjoy the chatter. He had some old movie star tobacco cards in one of hiscases, displayed in 20 card/sheet. I had not seen these before. They are put out by BCW. Is anyone in our group using these. I would assume t206 and other tobacco cards would fit in these, but wanted to check with the group. Any feedback is appreciated. ================= Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 18:06:16 -0500 To: tradingbases@yahoogroups.com, vct@lists.vintagecardtraders.com, Subject: Just got back today..

If you are interested, there is an ongoing thread on net54 reporting newly found examples of "variations" being discovered all the time. Happy hunting!

Thanks a lot! :-D As luck would have it, I still have two 1973 sets. So, I had to check them out at one in the morning because these things can't wait - and I sure wasn't going to get any sleep otherwise. Ihad the bandaid version in one set and the other version in set two... which is going into set #1 now. I'm in the market for a 73 Kaline, either version, any condition to replace the one in my second set. (I don't collect variations for second sets. One round of insanity is enough.)

Back in the day when Brock Hattox was a frequently mentionname in our group he would just drive us crazy. Brock had a Geno Wagner like want list that was impossible to hit and from time to time he would add a set - like the `65 Embossed insert set.

I would get excited because I was sure I could send some stuff to Brock because I was perpetually in the hole to this guy. That excitement would quickly dissipate as within a few days Brock would chime in that he bought the set or a near setthus once again making hitting his list near impossible again.

When I joined OBC back in 2008 George Vrechek was my mentor. George is out in So Cal on vacation. And since there was a small card show near where he stayed we went together. Thiswas a huge coin collectors show that had some Baseball card tables. Georgehanded me a Basketball card and a Football game card on the way to the show. I was surprised he had any dupes out with him since they flew out to thewest At the show I met up with Mark Macrae. It's always nice to talk with Mark. And I was able to start a couple of new sets. The 48 Signal Oil set and the69 Football mini album sets are now on my lists. Both are about 25% complete. I picked up a few Football cards for the dwindling sets and a few 50-55Topps and Bowmans. Time went by too quick. Back on the way home George and I continued our conversations and well we passed his exit. But George knew the area pretty well and we were able to easily back track. Thanks for a great day George. John Stamper ================= Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2016 13:40:27 -0700 To: obc ramblings Subject: Blogging away! From: James Silva Hello again Gents (mostly gents? all gents?), I just wanted to let you know that I have added content to my blog again. Iam working to post every Thursday at a minimum. So far I am staying ahead,having just posted my third entry. I cheated this time! My friend, who haswritten for baseball blogs in the past, has agreed to write with me as time permits. I posted his first entry today. So far we have content on the A=E2=99s, the Rockies, and the Padres with more to come on each, as well as posts to look forward to (hopefully) on every team in MLB. Actually getting to write about baseball and have a place to put it all is an incrediblefeeling! Before the special ed teacher gig, I majored in writing and loved/hated it. With some maturity (some - no really - some) and an added ability to keep my ass in my seat for a little while, I am finding the writing process so much more enjoyable. I am just flat out having a blast! I am luckyto have a fabulous wife and friends who support me. Anyway, please check out my writing if it is something that interests you. Now that there is a tool on the blog for notifying readers of new content if they leave their email address, I will stop bugging you guys every time I post something. I know we have other writers in the clan - writers who actually have chops. I would love to hear feedback - and not just from the writers in the crew. Thanks for being my first audience (at least for my emails if nothing else, right?).

Number one on everyone's mind is yesterday's NFL championship game. Since the Pats were eliminated and I no longer gamble, I had no vested interest in the game at all. Sunday is usually the busiest shopping day of the week. Couple that with an impending snowstorm and everyone getting last minute party supplies and you have the perfect mix for supermarket chaos. I chose to stay at work for a few extra hours of OT. From what I've read, I guess I didn't miss much, not even good commercials or halftime entertainment. By 7:00, the store was a ghost town and I got to catch up on my work, so we were ready for this morning's panic before it started snowing. Even the snow storm was overhyped though, as it didn't leave more than a few inches of light fluffy snow that was easily brushed away with a broom.  I seem to be in a rut on eBay and COMC. After a long layoff (a couple years?) of only buying cards at The National, I sta rted searching eBay again in November last year. After three months of searching maybe every other day, I feel like I'm looking at the same cards over and over. Might be time to take a break and start sticking money in the sock drawer for August in Atlantic City.  Speaking of which, I'm going to see if we can make the rental house work for the show. It would be similar to the badges. We'd need probably 8 people willing to put up to $250 for their lodging. We'd rent the house Tuesday through Sunday (6 nights). Not sure of the exact numbers, but if there's enough interest, it could work out to something like $40/night with a cap at $200.  That way, if you're only looking for a spot on the floor for two nights, it would cost you $80. A lot of the places have wifi and a grill too, so that would automatically be our swap and cookout location as well. I'm going to dust off the National server and start a thread, but if you're interested in "OBC: Jersey Shore", LMK now so I'll ha ve some idea if this is worth pursuing further.  I've been in a kind of holding pattern for a few months. My divorce court hearing (rescheduled from Nov.) is now scheduled in a couple weeks. Things have been going smoothly so far (as far as these things go I guess), but I'm still waiting for things to hit the fan. Hopefully a large burden will finally be off my shoulders by this time next month.  Forgot to mention, five minutes before I left work yesterday, I was putting stuff away in the freezer and closed the door - on my thumb. At first I was shocked that I did it (and that I was so careless), but then I noticed that blood was seeping through my gloved hand. I really did it good, puncturing a 1/4" of the thumbnail. It's swollen and is turning a lovely shade of purple, but I'll live. I'll also probably have to be retrained on how to properly close the walk-in freezer door...  Well, this turned out a little longer than I expected (as usual). Thanks for reading.

Since the Bears rarely make an appearance, I find myself rooting for numbers, and rooting for a good game. Last year, with two teams I don't like at all, it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable Super Bowls I have ever seen. I thought the game was great. This year, with nothing on the line, I was again rooting for numbers, hoping Manning would win, thinking the Panthers would win, but ultimately wanting the game to be close late in thefourth. I thought the Panthers came out real tight. The Broncos D was relentless. I thought Manning threw up some ducks that should have been picked.Yes, there were quite a few turnovers, but I think the D had a lot to do with it - on both sides. So for myself, I enjoyed the game. It wasn't great,but I thought it was good. I think Cam's post game press conference was brutal. I understand that you lost the biggest game of the year, but that pouting was brutal, just brutal. The commercials - awful. Absolutely awful. And halftime. The show was good, but come on. That's Super Bowl 50. They had a tribute to all the rock legends that had performed at a Super Bowl duringthe halftime show. I think they should have had a legend there as well. Not that the three performers are not great. They are. But there was no Wow factor.

I hate how he sucked at superbowl 50. I love how his team won it for him. I hate coldplay and crappy computer commercials that aren't funny. I love how cam newton just eventually gave up. I hate the panther arrogance in how they play and coach. I love states south of the mason dixon, but not their football. I love living where football is religion. I hate how Ohio teams suck. I loved seeing the superbowl old timers, i hate how the best NFL players can't even talk right. I love seeing a spectacular defensive performance, as the broncos did so like none other game in recent history. I hate how people dont see the significance in textbook defensive victories. I love how peyton manning is arguably one of the more influential quarterbacks for the overall game, since, dare i say sammy baugh or maybe johnny unitas. I hate how he couldnt even throw the ball, or get a receiver to catch it on sunday. I wish he would just drink a budweiser and say he's retiring, instead of making it a whole big thing, like a cheesy 80's suspense horror flick. (We know the boob girl will fall, get over the suspense). I hate how the media is making a thing of it too, like they dont know.

Play was lackluster, (punt return; Tag, you're it! Oh, wait, you're gonna run 41 yards now? No fair!), (Fumble by the Quarterback; Should I fall on it? Nah, those guys will all jump on me and it will hurt. Better to just backaway slowly.) (Manning, third and long inside his own twenty; Well, we need this first down to keep the clock moving and keep them from getting another chance to score...better run than trust my rag arm, after all, we gained-1 yard the last two times we ran). Penalties were many and stupid. False start, false start, false start, delay of game, false start, taunting, unnecessary roughness after the play, false start, face mask, (at the two yard line, sheesh) Carolina's offense on first down never changed, run off tackle, 1 yard, runoff tackle, -1 yard, run off tackle, no yardage, run off tackle.... Opening up the defense with a Newton run or two was not possible, (with the exception of a couple of times he was chased out of the pocket for some decent gains). Not possible because everyone could see the fear in his eyes through3/4 of the game. He looked broken. Manning couldn't throw, but we already knew that and he played well enough to get the Broncos into field goal range several times where they didn't miss. The Panthers were not so skilled, clanking the ball off the goalpost when they were fortunate enough to get close enough without fumbling. Finally, the half time show sucked. Period. Believe it or not, I'm not usually so negative, but I feel I wasted my whole night watching this game.

Some folks might think it was a defensive battle, but not me....neither team looked Super to me. Granted Denver's defense was good, but I think Carolina's offense was so lame it made it easy on them. Even the highly anticipated round of commercials was rather disappointing. What do you fellows think??

Number one on everyone's mind is yesterday's NFL championship game. Since the Pats were eliminated and I no longer gamble, I had no vested interest in the game at all. Sunday is usually the busiest shopping day of the week. Couple that with an impending snowstorm and everyone getting last minute party supplies and you have the perfect mix for supermarket chaos. I chose to stay at work for a few extra hours of OT. From what I've read, I guess I didn't miss much, not even good commercials or halftime entertainment. By 7:00, the store was a ghost town and I got to catch up on my work, so we were ready for this morning's panic before it started snowing. Even the snow storm was overhyped though, as it didn't leave more than a few inches of light fluffy snow that was easily b rushed away with a broom.  I seem to be in a rut on eBay and COMC. After a long layoff (a couple years?) of only buying cards at The National, I started searching eBay again in November last year. After three months of searching maybe every other day, I feel like I'm looking at the same cards over and over. Might be time to take a break and start sticking money in the sock drawer for August in Atlantic City.  Speaking of which, I'm going to see if we can make the rental house work for the show. It would be similar to the badges. We'd need probably 8 people willing to put up to $250 for their lodging. We'd rent the house Tuesday through Sunday (6 nights). Not sure of the exact numbers, but if there's enough interest, it could work out to something like $40/night with a cap at $200.  That way, if you're only looking for a spot on the floor for two nights , it would cost you $80. A lot of the places have wifi and a grill too, so that would automatically be our swap and cookout location as well. I'm going to dust off the National server and start a thread, but if you're interested in "OBC: Jersey Shore", LMK now so I'll have some idea if this is worth pursuing further.  I've been in a kind of holding pattern for a few months. My divorce court hearing (rescheduled from Nov.) is now scheduled in a couple weeks. Things have been going smoothly so far (as far as these things go I guess), but I'm still waiting for things to hit the fan. Hopefully a large burden will finally be off my shoulders by this time next month.  Forgot to mention, five minutes before I left work yesterday, I was putting stuff away in the freezer and closed the door - on my thumb. At first I was shocked that I did it (and that I was so carel ess), but then I noticed that blood was seeping through my gloved hand. I really did it good, puncturing a 1/4" of the thumbnail. It's swollen and is turning a lovely shade of purple, but I'll live. I'll also probably have to be retrained on how to properly close the walk-in freezer door...  Well, this turned out a little longer than I expected (as usual). Thanks for reading.

On Feb 9, 2016, at 12:09 PM, "tvalacak@comcast.net [OBC-Ramblings]" > Just a little ramble here of a few good things that happened in the hobbyover the last few days. On Sunday morning, my wife was meeting with a cleaning lady with the intent to hire her. This is a tough move for my wife, as she is not the type of person who seeks out help like this. But, with our current situation and myself not being around, the household chores havepiled up. So, I thought I would get the kids out of the hosue on Sunday morning so it would be quiet while Traci met with this cleaning lady. I decided I wold take the kids to a card show. A small local show that runs thefirst Sunday of every month. The kids were instructed that they had to ask daddy before making any purchases. (They all had three dollars with them- big spenders). So, first table, my oldest son Anton sees a Patrick Kanejersey card. He loves Kane, loves the card. No price on the card, I figure it's going to be 25 bucks. I told Anton to ask the dealer. Dealer says5 bucks. Anton puts it down, face drawn. I say that's a good deal. He says he doesn't have enough money. So, I say I will loan him the two bucks.He still doesn't want to get the card because then he will have no money left. So what do I do, I buy the card, let him keep his three bucks. Tavin picked out some Bears cards from teh same guy, and Danika picked out a few Blackhawks. The guy was nice. Said the Kane card was a 10 ollar card. So, I felt good about that. We hit a few more dime boxes and settled on a one dealer in the corner of the show. He was great. Even had a vintage dime and quarter box - so I did some shopping too. Picked up some 60's and some 72 high #s. Will have to check if I can use any for upgrades, then pass them along. BUt the kids had a blast in those dime boxes. Danika dropped a pile of uv Red Sox players. Picked them all up. Was pretty cute. After the kids made their purchases, the dealer called them all in and said they can go through and pick out another 10 cards for free. They loved it. I know it was only uv stuff, but really cool of the dealer to do that. There were another 2 tables with vintage, but I'd had the kids their for almost two hours. They were ready to go, and I really didn't want to spoil themood. This is only the second show I have been to in the last two years. It was fun to get out, look at cardboard. I even found some uv to add to my Red Sox World Series collection. Cool. > On Monday, I had to give a blood sample at one of Rush's satellite clinics. It's in a western suburb of Chicago, and there is a card store about a mile from the clinic. I have popped in there many times. This is the guy who got me going on the 20 card sheets for tobacco cards. Anyway, we talked for a bit. He was telling me and showing me a 73 football set he is putting together. All PSA 8 and greater. He knows my collecting style, as I talk about OBC often. Well, I told him I was down to my last 9 for the 73 football set. He pulled a binder out and had me tell him what I was missing. He had 6 of the last 9 I needed, including Fran and Staubach. Sweet. Iasked him what he wanted for them. Nothing. Take them he said, I'm happyto help. Wow! I was floored. Awesome. Left that shop on cloud 11.

On Sunday morning, my wife was meeting with a cleaning lady with the intent to hire her. This is a tough move for my wife, asshe is not the type of person who seeks out help like this. But, with ourcurrent situation and myself not being around, the household chores have piled up. So, I thought I would get the kids out of the hosue on Sunday morning so it would be quiet while Traci met with this cleaning lady. I decided I wold take the kids to a card show. A small local show that runs the first Sunday of every month. The kids were instructed that they had to ask daddy before making any purchases. (They all had three dollars with them -big spenders). So, first table, my oldest son Anton sees a Patrick Kane jersey card. He loves Kane, loves the card. No price on the card, I figureit's going to be 25 b ucks. I told Anton to ask the dealer. Dealer says 5 bucks. Anton puts it down, face drawn. I say that's a good deal. He says he doesn't have enough money. So, I say I will loan him the two bucks. He still doesn't want to get the card because then he will have no money left. So what do I do, I buy the card, let him keep his three bucks. Tavinpicked out some Bears cards from teh same guy, and Danika picked out a fewBlackhawks. The guy was nice. Said the Kane card was a 10 ollar card. So, I felt good about that. We hit a few more dime boxes and settled on a one dealer in the corner of the show. He was great. Even had a vintage dime and quarter box - so I did some shopping too. Picked up some 60's and some 72 high #s. Will have to check if I can use any for upgrades, then pass them along. BUt the kids had a blast in those dime boxes. Danika dr opped a pile of uv Red Sox players. Picked them all up. Was pretty cute. After the kids made their purchases, the dealer called them all in and said they can go through and pick out another 10 cards for free. They loved it. I know it was only uv stuff, but really cool of the dealer to do that. There were another 2 tables with vintage, but I'd had the kids their for almost two hours. They were ready to go, and I really didn't want to spoil themood. This is only the second show I have been to in the last two years. It was fun to get out, look at cardboard. I even found some uv to add to my Red Sox World Series collection. Cool. On Monday, I had to give a blood sample at one of Rush's satellite clinics.It's in a western suburb of Chicago, and there is a card store about a mile from the clinic. I have popped in there many times. This is the guy who got me going on the 20 card sheets for tobacco cards. Anyway, we talkedfor a bit. He was telling me and showing me a 73 football set he is putting together. All PSA 8 and greater. He knows my collecting style, as I talk about OBC often. Well, I told him I was down to my last 9 for the 73 football set. He pulled a binder out and had me tell him what I was missing.He had 6 of the last 9 I needed, including Fran and Staubach. Sweet. I asked him what he wanted for them. Nothing. Take them he said, I'm happy to help. Wow! I was floored. Awesome. Left that shop on cloud 11. Healing power of cardboard, right! So, I just wanted to share a couple of feel good stories about the hobby. A couple of good days.

Eastern Standard Time, _OBC-Ramblings-noreply@yahoogroups.com_ (mailto:OBC-Ramblings-noreply@yahoogroups.com) This was the worst Super Bowl I've ever watched. Play was lackluster, (punt return; Tag, you're it! Oh, wait, you're gonna run 41 yards now? No fair!), (Fumble by the Quarterback; Should I fall on it? Nah, those guys will all jump on me and it will hurt. Better to just back away slowly.)

Penalties were many and stupid. False start, false start, false start, delay of game, false start, taunting, unnecessary roughness after the play, false start, face mask, (at the two yard line, sheesh) Carolina's offense on first down never changed, run off tackle, 1 yard, run off tackle, -1 yard, run off tackle, no yardage, run off tackle.... Opening up the defense with a Newton run or two was not possible, (with the exception of a couple of times he was chased out of the pocket for some decent gains). Not possible because everyone could see the fear in his eyes through 3/4 of the game. He looked broken. Manning couldn't throw, but we already knew that and he played well enough to get the Broncos into field goal range several times where they didn't miss. The Panthers were not so skilled, clanking the ball off the goalpost when they were fortunate enough to get close enough without fumbling. Finally, the half time show sucked. Period. Believe it or not, I'm not usually so negative, but I feel I wasted my whole night watching this game.

"Time to open the viewer mailbag again, and answer some of the nicer letters that we get from time to time... >From: FERNANDO >Subject: TOPPS 40 >I need help abot 91 cards i have of 40 years of baseball, what can i do? >Is it possible to sell? >Thanks in advance. Dear Fer., I'm flattered that you wrote to me asking for advice, but I have to confess that I am kind of a small time collector, and probably not in your league at all. 91 cards! Man where do you keep them all? Do you realize that this is the equivalent of 6 packs of baseball cards?!?! Wow, I can sympathize with your plight, brother. Now, you're lucky that these cards are from the highly prized 40 years of baseball set, manufactured by Topps OVER 10 YEARS AGO, so you and I both know we're talking about a vintage goldmine here. Unlike some things you may have purchased in 1991, these cards (assuming they are in pretty good shape, and knowing you, Fernando, my buddy, they probably are) have retained some of their original value. I don't want to get your hopes up to high, but, I have to say, if an item like this was to come up at auction, I would expect that it would receive, conservatively, and I stress conservatively, somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 cents. However, if you were willing to throw in free shipping, and who isn't these days, you might find somebody willing to offer as much as ninety-five cents for this lot! Not me, of course, but someone. Maybe. "Is it possible to sell" you ask? Fernando. This is the USA! It's possible to sell ANYTHING. Or at least to try to sell it. Whatever, give it a shot, my friend. And let me know what happens! But even if things don't work out, at least you still have your song. And that's more than most of us can claim... There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando... They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando... Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando... Later, dude."

I hate how he sucked at superbowl 50. I love how his team won it for him. I hate coldplay and crappy computer commercials that aren't funny. I love how cam newton just eventually gave up. I hate the panther arrogance in how they play and coach. I love states south of the mason dixon, but not their football. I love living where football is religion. I hate how Ohio teams suck. I loved seeing the superbowl old timers, i hate how the best NFL players can't even talk right. I love seeing a spectacular defensive performance, as the broncos did so like none other game in recent history. I hate how people dont see the significance in textbook defensive victories. I love how peyton manning is arguably one of the more influential quarterbacks for the overall game, since, dare i say sammy baugh or maybe johnny unitas. I hate how he couldnt even throw the ball, or get a receiver to catch i t on sun day.

The DeLong piece gives good insight into one man behind Boston's booming gum / candy business in the 1930s. Several companies added new card + gum sets in 1933 after a breakthrough in gum formulation allowed it to be packaged safely with paper products. It's possible Goudey's success overshadowed their competitors so completely in 1933 that other companies dropped card products. Or the Great Depression made it hard on everyone and Goudey was the only one to make cards profitable throughout. Or...something else.

After Figgy Newton stared at his fumble before backing away, I turned off the TV in disgust. I didn't even realize the score had changed in the final minutes until I read about it in the paper the next day. I also missed the postgame interviews so I didn't see some of the stuff you guys talked about. And where the heck was the Boob Girl!! Damn! Also, I made a mistake on the stupid punt return. It was a frickin' SB record 61 yards not 41. I read an article by Joe Posanski, (my favorite sports writer even though I probably misspell his name), recapping the Super Bowl. It was like Joe was in my head only in a more descriptive way. Made me feel like I wasn't just seeing things.

But you can still find most of these mixed in with regular cards if you know what youare looking for and you get lucky. I was able to pick up all but one of the '59 non optioned/traded cards for regular prices, and I didn't have a difficult time finding the 'no A period' version of this one (probably real lucky BUT... This is having the ability to attend a number of local shows a year.For those that don't have that luxury, it DOES get a bit more difficult and could be more costly.

From: chris tripler As you may know (or perhaps not), one of my favorite past times is to look for vintage in odd ball places. I know I can get it at the local card shop or eBay, but there is an adrenaline rush from finding vintage where you least expect it...for me craiglist was what started it all off for dad & I in 2012. I have started going to antique shops, thrift shops, and estate cleanout companies to offer my "services" as an evaluator of cards. Most of what comes in as you can imagine are giant piles of '80s and '90s, which stillcan be fun to put into sets...but is essentially worthless.However, once in a while you hit on something that really catches your eye. So, recently Istruck gold and wanted to share with my OBC brethren the "find"... I've attached a picture of five cards from the '48 Leaf football set. Four of these are variants and two are the rarer of the possible variants...the "Bobbie" error with red pants and the Fischer with the white background between his legs...the Fischer is one of the three highest grades in that card(not much, a 5, but apparently this set does not grade very high anyways).While I would love to find the best home for these in OBC (dad and I don'tcollect football)...I think the best way for me to serve the group is to take their value, buy big lots of vintage baseball. Since Dad and I's are interested in putting sets together, and redistribute dupes for everybody's sets...I'm thinking '52T and Goudeys for everyone :) Brian Dwyer of REA was very interested in them (I've worked with him before- sold a near complete '48 Bowman basketball set in 2014), so you should see them in the Spring auction as part of their "internet" items (too late to get into the catalogue). For perspective, the third highest PSA graded set of 98 cards sold for $176,000 in 2014 (http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/1948-leaf-football-set-sells-176299/) - we should see some interest in this lot given the rarity of the variants and the high grades...

I had my first trade with him back in 2002. He and I don't collect much in common so I hadn't heard from him in years until last last year. He offered me a 1944 Sporting News guide (for my '44 collection) and was seeking Topps cards of Fred Hutchinson and cards of previous winners of the Fred Hutchinson award. I was able to help him with a few. Stan eventually put together a collection of all of Fred Hutchinson's Topps cars, as well as cards of all 51 of the previous Hutch Award winners, and then donated them to Hutch folks for an auction at the Hutch Awards luncheon. The auction brought in $525 for cancer research, and the winning bidder was Adam Wainwright - this year's winner of the Hutch Award.

My son brought home a box (I believe they call them "blasters") of this year's base baseball.
They just came out last week...
They are really quite nice for base Topps cards, nice photography and not so shiny as to blind you when opening the packs!

Grant...as promised, a little something headed your way. Nothing fishy about it, as your guy showed up half way through the "break".

Some interesting subsets produced a Roger Maris RC reprint, a Jackie Robinson tribute and some fella named Babe Ruth.
Not a single Phillies player though:-(

I may move this conversation over to the UV server to discuss swapping if I buy some more and we put a set together. Apologies forany UV fouls I may have committed :-)

Pitchers and catchers are packing their suitcases...and I have purchased my flight tickets for Arizona for next month too (anyone going? I presume Dave and Jan will be on their group trip)
I'll be catching 3 games in mid March . Email me if interestedin further details if you may be in the area then.

So baseball is coming fast!
OBC Forever,
Brian

I have a few of these and there appears to be 4 'different' ones. 1977 Topps with * and **, 1977 O-Pee-Chee rounded corners (like the Topps), and the 1977 O-Pee-Chee square cards (the size of regular 1 ) Can someone confirm if there are actually 4 different versions of the same card? Or is it just 3 and the * and ** just depend on the actual card number (from different sheets)? Or are there more? 2 ) Were these issued in 1976-77 as well?

The 4 versions I still need all happen to be on eBay, but I think they're all slabbed PSA9 and I'm not shelling out $40-60 each for a Selma, McNally or Northrup - and certainly not the $350 asking price for the Wright with the Angels crest logo.   I've been doing some more research on the 1979 Kellogg's and I'm almost ready to add the team logo variations to my list. Thanks to those of you who sent pics of the factory sheets/sets. I think they account for the vast majority of the cards out there, while the ones that came individually in the cereal boxes (and were more likely to be thrown out) have the (®/stat) variations on my list. How the third print run figures into things (either copyrighted team logo differences or just different logos) remains a mystery to me. I have found team logo differences for 12 teams (Cards, Cubs, Dodgers, Mets, O's, Padres, Phillies, Rangers, Royals, Tigers, Twins, Yanks). The jury is out on the other 12 (as there are no Indians or Mariners in the set). Six of those teams have the copyright on the team logo on all versions (Angels, Braves, Expos, Giants, Pirates, Reds) while I haven't been able to find ANY cards with copyrights on the other six (A's, Astros, Blue J's, Brewers, BoSox, ChiSox). In a nutshell, I'm putting the master set at 152 cards... and counting. I may start a tab on my website just for this set. OK, enough of the insanity - now for some FREE CARDS!  In the interest of some activity, I offer up the following dupes. These are all hand cut, some unfortunately while also having a mild seizure of some sort apparently. I'm also offering a 1977 starter set that has all of the ones listed below and a bunch more (53 diff.) o n the DS server. I ended up with a bunch from one particular panel which may be used as packing material if unclaimed. So please claim away!

You can get about 2000-2200 cards (decently protected) into either shape medium flat rate box using 3-660 boxes with some other 'method' (sheets or other shaped boxes), depending on the thickness of the cards. I've used the long/skinny medium flat rate with 800 count boxes, BUT I 'cut them down to size to fit (and sealed the 'cut' end with a hard case top loader). You could get 2400 cards into a medium flat rate box (again, either size) but NOT inside other boxes (400, 660, 800, etc). If you NEED to send 800 count boxes(such as larger factory sets), you will need to use the (long sized) largeflat rate box. I have found that you can get by with some 'slight' bulgingof the flat rate boxes, but not much (and no alterations). If you can go regional rate, it wil be cheaper (I think it's because it's all ground transport, but don't quote me). You CAN order priority boxes to be dropped off at your house, but not sure if that includes regional boxes. It should say on the web site thought. Finally, it is cheaper and easier to pay online. And for flat rate, the weight doesn't matter (though it's good to have a reasonable estimate).

From: Jimi Thayer Hey guys, A friend and I decided to start a little friendly competition to build 1948Bowman sets in all PSA holders. The thinking was to: -try something new with our collections -communicate with each other by sending pics in texts when we acquire a newcard -pick a set that was doable, not too big, and something we feel we wouldn'tquit on halfway through lol -watch each others' sets climb the PSA set registry -whoever finishes first is not necessarily the winner as the person who hasn't finished yet will have an undetermined amount of time to complete the set, too, before seeing who has finished on top -if this goes well, then we are thinking of maybe doing the 1954 or 1955 Topps sets after that I'm really looking forward to starting this new project and glad I have a buddy to do this with! Have any of you ever done something like this before? I may end up selling some of my HOF stuff to get going with it as I am broke right now. Lol I'd love to know if any of you have any to trade or sell. Right now I don't have any and I'd consider any grade. Sorry for the long ramble, but thanks for reading!

I used to type up like a page of mindless drivel and/or thanks every day. Here it is, some twenty years later and I haven't been kicked out :-D Feeling somewhat nostalgic this evening/morning. It might be those two mixed drinks I had a little while ago (I very rarely drink). I was looking over some old wantlists I posted on the server some 15 years ago earlier (before the alcohol) and looking at the progress I've made with my collection since then (I have one of the first wantlists I posted to the group on one of my old computers somewhere - before the current server was made in 2001). Thanks to so many of you who have helped along the way. My 20th anniversary in OBC is coming up at the end of June and I'm trying to plan something special to mark the event.  Anyway, I was poking around eBay the other day, as I often do, when I came across the last two 1977 BK Yankees cards I needed (Dent and Reggie) - both slabbed for around 15 dollars apiece. No thanks. Wait! Here's a complete set of 22 (minus the SP Pinella) for ten bucks plus shipping OR make an offer. Hmmm... I'll offer ten dollars delivered for all 22 cards. Accepted! So now I will soon have a starter lot (20/23) of 1977 Burger King Yankees available for trade - missing Dent, Reggie and the SP Pinella. My first option is to trade the whole thing for the last Burger King card I need for the entire run (1979 Beniquez #22). Otherwise, I may hold onto it for a waiver wire or send it out as a RAOK at some point.  I'm on vacation and the kids are with Mom tonight, so I have some rare time to myself. Only about four of you claimed any of my Hostess waivers this afternoon, so I may have to offer up some other stuff to generate activity. Is this thing on?   I think the the response to sharing a house for the week in Atlantic City for the Nationals is a bust, so I'm going to go with the tried and true method of booking a room with two beds for cheap and then see who wa nts to be my roommate. The room is going to be in Absecon or Brigantine and not in or near a casino, as I can not trust myself to staying away from gambling.  Every few years, the company I work for (Stop&Shop) and the union work out a contract. This is one of those years. A meeting has been set up at the end of this month to approve the new contract/go on strike. This year I've heard almost nothing about the contract talks with less than two weeks to go before the current contract expires. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. We've worked without a contract before, but a strike would seriously jeapordize my National plans, as I'd probably have to use the money I've been putting aside ($20/week in the sock drawer) to pay for other expenses. Hopefully, I'll be able to book a room March 1st.  Well, I have the kids tomorrow and this is getting long, so I'll try to get a nap in until maybe noon or so (that won't actually happen).

We will have a snake-style draft sometime during the first week of the season. The league is based in Boulder, COwith one San Diego member. It is our second year of existence.

I have done the regular SIM leagues for a several years with a break - just started back up. Recently, I joined the dynasty league and WHOA! It is really intense - feels kind of like what a GM and manager would go through. You manage an entire organization from hiring coaches,drafting high school, college and international talent, negotiating with agents, to setting up pitching staffs and lineups, and dealing with trades and injuries. It is quite diverting! I am not looking for owners for them oranything, just sharing with the biggest group of baseball geeks I know.

Last Sunday, I flew to DC to provide training at our facilities in that area. While making my plans, I decided to intentionally fly a day early (on Sunday) so I could spend Monday with OBCers!! But I forgot to control the weather. It started snowing Sunday night and continued most of the day on Monday. I made my way to Rockville, MD to see a friend for breakfast @ 8:30 and from there I went to see Ant Arbeeny at his house a few miles away. What a place! Someday we should all provide video tours of our homes. Mine would probably be considered a disaster area. Ant's is amazing. It's a wonderful home for him and his family. But he is only allocated a small closet for his cards. Not even room for binders from what I could see. Ant made up for this with his hospitality. He already had a buffet of snacks laid out for everyone. And he was ready to cook lunch as well. At my house, we have delivery pizza when OBCers come over. At Ant's house, we had freshly made chicken parmesan sandwiches and pulled pork. Attendance suffered due to the snow. Peter Mead, Andy Cook, Rich Robinson, Joe Adriance, Dan Cipra were all no shows. Plus too far for Brian Betza. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. Ed Schott did come down all the way for Baltimore. And Mac Wubben uber'ed his way over as well. Typically, I could not find some of the cards I brought for people. I will work to get them in the mail this year. I mean this week. Despite my failure, Ant, Mac and Ed each let me pig out from their dupes boxes. Here's what I ended up with. I'm not sure which pile came from which person... Topps Magic FB common 1955 Topps Red Sox common trimmed down to the size of a 1951 Bowman. I LOVE these. I'd like to collect trimmed team sets. :-) 1950 Bowman copyright variations 1949 Bowman #13 Bob Chesnes 1962 Post - 4 out of the last 20 that I need. Wow. Hostess cards: I don't care about Hostess/Twinkie. Ant let me raid his dupes, including his stashes of Twinkies dupes that will go into my mixed sets. 1961 Posts - I probably took the stack and will waiver out the extras. This year. Or decade. Or most likely at an upcoming National. 1975 and 1977 full sized Twinkie panels. I might collect full sized panels after Jay Tyser bombed me with about 40 from 1977 a couple of months ago. Non-sports including cherry picking from a box of stuff with cards from sets that Ant isn't collecting. I found a 1976 Star Trek upgrade, several Welcome Back Kotter cards, one of the two Fighting Marines that I need, several 1957 Topps Planes high numbers 1970/1971 Topps Scratchoffs 1969 Topps Decals 1970 Kelloggs Football including OJ 1934 Diamond Star ultra-high number #105 Ernie Lombardi from Mac. I will be paying for this one for a long time. Ed also brought a little box stuffed with Red Sox cards for me to pour through. I promise to waiver everything I cannot use. Unfortunately, the day had to end. I had more people to see and Ed & Mac needed to get safely home. I gave Mac a ride home and even then I got the better end of the deal. In exchange for a ride back to his house, I received a tour of his house, a chat with his wife, and some Mac-made cheesecake to be consumed at a later date. I was able to leave a few cards for people there: Ed should have something for Peter Mead and Mac should have something for Joe Adriance. The others will get theirs in the mail in 201x. Time to end this ramblings/thanks but the good feelings will be there for a long, long time. Thank you Mac, Ed and especially Ant. Steve Rittenberg From Ed Schott 1961 + 1963 Posts. I probably took most of Ed's dupes. ================= Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 20:39:30 -0500 To: OBC Ramblings Subject: Card Shows Report! From: LAWRENCE TIPTON I saw the add on Net54 for a new card show with =E2=9CNational=E2=9D dealers 80 tables so it sounded big. But its four hours away in Tampa! I text the promoter and he says only 25 tables sold but some big time dealers. Well I was not going to go until I notice another smaller card show on the way, and I was feeling a road trip so I go. Heres the report. Up and out the door at 5:15AM so I can be at the smaller show when it opensat 8:30. It=E2=99s in a giant flea market but low and behold 1/3 of oneof the building is filled with baseball cards. My first purchase I mostly hit my non sports list =E2=9966 Donruss Spec Sheet, a couple of =E2=9966 Topps Superman, Green Beret, Daktari, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Also #1 cards Batman orange and #1 =E2=9953 Topps Wheels dupes, then two football hits 1952 bowman small these are getting tougher for me! I also bought four or five postcards early 1900s fora buck each boxing and a football will need to id these=E2=A6=E2=A6 Next table was good as the guy had 60s baseball cards in decent shape cheapplus 50% off! =E2=9967 Banks, =E2=9970 Mays, =E2=9967 Mays, =E2=9967 Topps #1 card, =E2=9967 Gibson, a couple =E2=9967 leaders cards w Aaron Clemente Mays these were a couple bucks each a pretty good deal I thought. Baseball Scoops with Jackie, a 55 Bowman Yogi for $3, =E2=9964 Banks, eleven 1966 Topps hi numbers. Next dealer sold me five =E2=9955 Bowman Umps for $10 total and a handful of =E2=9950 Bowman cheap but they had ink on the back. Last dealer I bought fifteen hits DonRuss Odd rods most were from the original series, and I finished off my Golden Press baseball set with #32 Honus Wagner. Pretty good I thought and back on the road an hour further south for the big show which really was a little disappointing plus they charged $5 to get in but I was told it=E2=99s a new show trying to get off the ground so you got to support:) And I did see a couple of dealers from the National. I did score 25 1965 Topps football =E2=9Ctall boys=E2=9D all SPs all two or three bucks each and after I upgrade my set these will go out to OBCmembers. More non sports hits for me James Bond, Rat Patrol, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Outer Limits, then a small stack of =E2=9968 Topps Laugh In these are dupes. I did pick up two hits 1972 Topps football hi numbers these are tough! Five =E2=9967 Topps baseball high numbers for dupes. Biggest purchase was seven hits 1962 Topps =E2=9CMars Attack=E2=9Dincluding the #1 card those alone cost me $80 but I am glad to get them! So it=E2=99s 1:30 and if I hustle I can get back to the flea market showthat closes at 4PM! Dealer with the good prices had a PILE of 1963 Topps baseball including many hi numbers. I bought three #558 Ron Hunt RC $3 each, two #562 Davy McNally RC $2 each, best deal might have been three #544 Rusty Staub RC $10 these book for $50 each. =E2=9963 leader card #1, =E2=9963 Topps last card in the set #576. More =E2=9965 Topps #5 w Mantle, another =E2=9967Banks, =E2=9963 #169 Gaylord Perry RC , Buc Blasters w Clemente. Dealerwas super nice too. I had some fun here, plus the dealer =E2=9CJohn=E2=9D gave me a real good lead on another card show that occurs in a Senior Citizen Center wherethe residents have a card collecting club, and they hold a card show once in awhile. WOW this should be good I cant wait for that! Finally picked up 40 hits 1956 Adventure set these are NM for $1 each for my set. On the way home stopped to eat at McDonalds and I don=E2=99t eat there much but they really hit the meal out of the park! Big Mac looked as good as the picture and the fries were right out of the fryer and I bought a lattee to get me home. I hate to brag on McDonalds but those kids did it right so often I am disappointed with fast food.

From: JAY TYSVER I wish my wife was into sports. She doesn't know any terminology or rules of any sports. But, she dances and teaches dancing and travels giving seminars on dance. She spends as much money on dance as I do on cards. She is, infact, more obsessed than I am with cards about dance. She has spent over athousand on a particular bracelet for her dance. When I told her I would need to spend a minimum of $800 to get a rookie Hank Aaron she didn't bat aneye. She does like some of the design of some older non-sports stuff, but that is the degree of her interest. I guess that works for us.

It wasn't really a specific or a good reason in my eyes. It was more likea combo of - baseball cards are for kids, you have two young daughters - there is no time for that. I felt bad for him - but outside of saying, whatthe heck did you marry, I was trying to see if anyone else had that problem and how they squashed it. I mean I think he could still do it, but I feel like he would always be kind of keeping it on the down low and then it wouldn't be a fun thing anyway.

I had to teach her she really pre paid for series 2. It took two tries to buy the Gretsky, try one was a reprint. I had to break it to her gently that 25 dollars does not get you a mint gretsky. After careful examination, the colors were off and paper stock was different. Then I taught her about PSA grading. On the other hand she did complain that the 250,000 cards in the house are taking up to much space. I said, it was your idea to go to the antinque shop where they sell cards!!

From: tvalacak@comcast.net Great thread, Although my wife has never taken my wantlist and purchased some vintage cards for me, I cannot complain one bit. One of the firs things that struck meas super cool with her was when she said she wanted to go to every major league ballpark. Wow! I thought. Unheard of. I didn't even have that ambition at the time, as I didn't have a strong desire to go to some of the old cookie cutter stadiums. For our first Christmas, she bought an autographed ball of Ted Williams for me. And she bought an autographed ball of Mickey Mantle for herself (I have kind of claimed that one- kind of). I got back intocard collecting a few years after we were married. I started going to shows with a buddy, who collected cards but was really after autographs. Traci had no problems with this. And to this this day, she still has no problems with my collecting cards. In the last two years, you guys have Stan Hacked me a few times. Not only does she see how excited I have been (and am when receiving OBC mail), but she listens to the stories, looks at the cards. She calls it my vice, and will tell people I could be doing a lot worse things. Even now, she will buy me a few packs for my birthday and Christmas.These are usually given to me by the kids, and I have had to explain my preference for uv Topps. It's fun. I consider myself lucky. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Smart shawnsmart@hotmail.com [OBC-Ramblings]" To: obc-ramblings@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 11:37:59 AM Subject: [OBC-Ramblings] Valentine's Day wifey thanks (or so)!

From what I understand, Pat Prickett needs Pete Reiser to finish the run. He's been looking for this white whale a long time. I remember at one of the Ft. Washington shows I attended in the late 90's that the guy at 707 Sportscards was offering to trade three or four 52T high numbers straight up for each 2nd series grey back. I talked to him at the last National (asking about Pat's Reiser) and he claimed to be 3 or 4 cards short of a 3RD run of them. Seeing how he has had access to the inventory at the biggest shows for the last 20-30 years (and seeing what he displays at the show), I have no reason to doubt him (Mr. Prickett does though).

I am reading all kinds of conflicted stories about the origin, printing, and distribution of that series. Some call them Canadian Topps, others refute that. George has a fine article in the Library about the 52s. Mayb e he'd like to revisit a story on this series? Does anyone in the group have any of the grey's? If nothing else, it's making for some interesting reading.

Remember, you need to do this as a master set with the cream and grey backs :-). This one was down to the last 8 at one of the Nationals, when the boys rallied around to help kill it. 1962- In the middle of that now, finding it a little rougher on the high numbers, this set has slowed down considerably. They are out there and I'm inching my way along. I have found a decent number of highs in bargin bins. Most important, expect that you will be doing the greenies with this set. As others can attest, I will make SURE of that :-). I had more fun and learned a lot by going after the greenies and the other variations first. 1966- Bought a starter set during one of our OBC auctions a number of years ago. The highs are ridiculous. I ain't paying anywhere from 30-90 bucks for Choo Choo Coleman. I am down to 20 cards, big ones being Tiger and Twins team cards and Perry, the last card in the set. This one is slow and steady and be in it for the long haul. This may be one of the more satisfying sets to complete because of the long journey. I think others would agree, despite the frustration factor. Summary: do what the others told me, just list em! At some point you are going to do each of these sets anyway LOL!

The Yaz rookie is the top card but can be gotten for a decent price. 1962 is achievable as high numbers can be gotten for around $5 each or so and a lot can be gotten for less if you seek it. These tend to be condition sensitive 1966 is tough, tough, tough. The highs are priced high and there are a couple of high cards which are a ridiculous cost. Grant Jackson rookie and ChooChoo If you had to complete one of these, the 1960 would be the first I would gofor. If you went for a 1962 set, make sure you don't go for a higher grade set. Stick to Vg to Ex at best. If you go for the 1966 set, you are all in. I tend to think that you will eventually go for all three sets.

You might regret it if you were to trade those away then decide to start the sets later. I can understand your thought process though. I've always been kind of reluctant to add sets to my wantlist over the years. When I first joined OBC, the only sets on my list were 1968 to 1973. I was soon "advised" by the vetsthat I should expand my horizons. I took the easy route first, knocking off 1974-1980 in fairly short order. After a few more nudges, I moved back intime and listed everything back as far as my birth year (1960). As those sets approached completion, I added 1957-1959, which is pretty much where I am now, almost 18 years later! At the moment I'm wavering on whether or notI should start building pre-1957 sets, so the "Will !? Won't I?" bug is still with me. 1960 was a fun one for me as it was my birthyear set. Like any set, it has a few key cards but nothing outside the realms of obtainability. Even the high numbers can be found cheaply. The high# All Star cards are brilliant. On of my all time favorite AS designs. 1962 ...... fun or frustrating? You might choose to go for just the base set, but at some point the greenie madness sets in and you'll find yourself chasing those too. 1966 is definitely the toughest of the 3, but you should be able to knock off 90-95% of it fairly easily. Even the high number SPs (with a few notableexceptions already highlighted by others) can be found fairly cheaply witha bit of patience. Get your wantlist posted, buddy!!

Low grade examples of the Ted Signs card will run you a couple hundred if you're not happy with a reprint.1960 - a good set to get relatively cheap HOF'ers. The #80 doesn't have a Pepper Martin front, so most don't even bother with it. You can pick up most, if not all the cards for ten bucks or less.1961 - similar to the 1960 set, only issued in two series. The high numbers are slightly scarcer, but still won't break the bank like 66 or 67 Topps (no sp's either)1963 - the most challenging of the 60's Fleer issues, but fortunately (or unfortunately) the most popular. SP's like Adcock and the checklist can be pricey, but show up in lower grades a lot. Loaded with stars, but like most sets, they can be found affordably with patience and perseverance.1970-1975 - I just started most of these a year or so ago at The National. The WS cards ar e popular and plentiful. The blue backed 70's being the easiest to complete. The 71's present the only scarcities, which were't even issued with the rest of the set. Almost every card can be had for a buck each in group lots and bargain boxes. They aren't as popular, so tracking them down is a little challenging sometimes, but not cost prohibitive. That's it for the sets I've collected. Maybe I'll start a blog covering the rest of my personal collection.

Usually I'll find a few hits, but it's strictly minor league compared to the big shows in Cincy & Columbus - but it has the advantage of being only 15 minutes away, so I always try to go. > However, this month had two added bonuses: 1) OBC member Jimi Thayer was set up at the show as a dealer for the first time - his first time setting up at a show, and just a few short hours after being confirmed as a certified dealer - and 2) new OBC member Jerry Barnes accompanied OBCer Wes Shepard to the show. > When I got there, Jerry & Wes were already camped out behind Jimi's table. I got OBC handshakes from Wes & Jimi (details to follow in the Thanks mailing list), and then I started seeing what Jimi had to offer. I picked off a few 1962 Topps upgrades, and also 5 hits to the '52 Bowman set. Jimi invited behind the table where I could have easy access to peruse the cards in his cases. I grabbed a small stack of '55 Topps, with a Clemente sitting ontop for under $200. Although I needed that one as one of the last 4 for the set, I was to hesitant to pull the trigger; I'm cheap, and my palms startto sweat when I think of dropping that much money for a single card. But, in the middle of the stack was a Koufax RC card, and the price was right, so I pulled the trigger on it. A small corner crease, rounded corners, a slight stain on the card - but it's in perfect shape for me and it didn't break the bank. Wow! With an incoming Berra from eBay, the '55 set is now sitting at Clemente and Mays to go. > Jerry had to take off pretty soon after I got there, but Wes & I had sometime to talk. Jimi's table had a steady stream of customers while we were there, which was good to see. He didn't have a lot of competition as far asvintage goes at this particular show, so it was looking like he would havea good day. I will have to say that if he sets up at any other regional shows around Ohio, you should be sure to check out his merchandise.

It...was...great! I brought my 5 year old son, Jacob, with me for his first card show. He was a bit overwhelmed when we first walked in. I wanted to scan the tables as we walked by and see what was there and Jacob kept pulling my arm saying, "Daddy, let's go over there I want to see those football helmets" or baseballs or pictures or anything. I brought him over to the Hunt Auctions booth and showed him a Babe Ruth auto ball, a Ty Cobb auto ball, a '52 Topps Mantle, etc. He wasn't impressed. I went to my first booth of the day and saw a couple Josh Gibson bobbleheads that were priced right and I couldn't say no, so I picked up both. Jacob picked a Florida Marlins souvenir baseball out of a bin and wanted it. The Marlins? Really Jacob? That's not our team. But he wanted it, so the dealer tossed it in for free and I was good with that. While we were at the booth someone called my name. I looked up and saw a strange guy in an Orioles hat looking right at me. He said he was Ed Schott and came around to say hi. My second in person OBC meeting! Ed was great and said the guys were going to meet up by the food area at 1:00 to chat and pick through a 3200 ct box that Ed brought. We planned to meet at 1:00 and parted ways. Then I saw Uncle Dick and went right over. I introduced myself and having my OBC shirt and hat on Uncle Dick was very nice and chatted with me for a bit. I pulled some T220 boxing cards from his bin for $2 each, and some '54 Topps (Joe Black and the O'Brien brothers). He gave me a great deal and I headed on my way to check out more of the show. We met up with Brian Betza back at Uncle Dicks and it was almost 1:00. Brian brought us over to meet Kurt Tourdot. Wow! Kurt has an impressive bargain bin. I would buy the entire bin if I had the money. Brian had to run to his car before we met up the guys, so Jacob and I went out with him. Then we went down and found Ed and Matt Yudt at the table. Jacob and I got some food and went back to hang out. I ended up pulling almost 100 cards out of Ed's box. Matt handed me some sweet hits. We ate. Met another ex-OBCer (sorry, I'm terrible with names and can't remember his name at the moment). Brian became Jacob's new best friend and even took him around the show just the two of them for a little while. Jacob wanted a bobblehead like the ones I have and they found some while they were walking around. Towards the end of the show Jacob and I went searching for his bobblehead and he got excited about a vintage looking Phillies one that I was happy to buy him. So he got his first bobblehead. He also pulled his first 10 vintage hits out a box at one table and the dealer threw in an 11th card for him. I picked up a lot of great stuff before it was over. My best score was a 1956 Topps Mantle that Kurt had just bought from a guy walking the show selling cards. I was standing there picking more '54's from Kurt's stack when he bought it and I said, "would you want to flip that right now or do you want to hold onto it?" and he let me have it for a great price. I'll have to list the '56s now (I have a few of them now). I was very cool meeting Brian, Ed and Matt and I'm really looking forward to meeting more of you at the National in AC in August! I should be there Friday night, Saturday and heading home Sunday night. Thanks for reading this far if you're still here. Andy Huntoon ================= Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:06:57 -0500 To: obc-ramblings Subject: Re: Philly Show Report From: Andy Huntoon I forgot mention one more thing from the show. Kurt Tourdot tossed me a free card in the form of a T202 end panel of Hoblitzel. He said I could have it but I had to post this on the server. This end panel found its way to Kurt from Nick Pelletier after Kurt had his stroke. So he wanted to put it back in OBC. So thanks Nick and Kurt! Gotta love it.

Actually, my consignors did quite well...LOL. I have a few guys that consign theiritems to me, and their stuff was hot. I went to the bathroom only once while I was there, and that was due to the high traffic at my tables! I was very pleasantly surprised, but I have a good mix of vintage (both low gradeand high grade) and UV stuff so that helped. I brought along my brother as my friend/business partner, Bryan, was at his daughter's basketball tournament. Tony, my brother, was a huge help, and I couldn't have done it without him, so I appreciated it. I met up with Wes Shepard and Tom Housley again (both of VCT and OBC), and new OBC member, Jerry Barnes. Always great to meet these guys, and other online group members in person. I'm up to 31 different members now, if my numbers are correct! I learned a lot about what to bring next time, and what to leave behind....but then again, if I brought it...no one would want it, right? LOL. And ifI didn't bring it, someone would have wanted it! It's tough to decide allof that for sure. I have more inventory coming in later this week, and it's always exciting to get more stuff to go through....even if it's not mineto keep. :) Thanks for listening, and I am grateful to OBC for allowing me to be an "OBC Certified Dealer", so be on the lookout for some e-mails in the near future! I won't post every time I do a show, but figured since people were asking, I'd let you know that it went well and I'm likely to set up more. Thank you all!
