If the name is foreign to you, I highly recommend reading some of thestories about him. Some of which our own George Vrechek have written. Lionel Carter started collecting baseball cards in 1933. He was 15, and later served I believe in the Cavalry in WWII. He rubbed elbows with JeffersonBurdick. He died at age 90 i think in 2008, with either none, or only a few baseball cards in his possession. His legacy lives on through us, and other collectors of cardboard. How can you have a piece of the legend? Well, the Rittenburg auction humbly offers a certified piece. """ LOT 11 """ Is a beautiful SGC slabbed "lionel carter collection" 1933 tattoo orbit of Cub, woody english. The Cubs were Lionel's favorite team. I have no idea why this piece is a 50 and not at least a 60. It is sharp! It is the second best card in my collection. The first is likely the HenryAaron topps rookie. So LOT 11 has 3 huge reason to bid high and often: 1. It's the Rittenburg auction 2. It's from the Carter collection 3. It's my best card! Bid high, and get your collection to the lionel carter level!!!

Right now it is expensivesince it costs $ to sell through comc and then if you agree to list your cards on ebay also, you must agree to a 20% reduction in sale price. I believe Dean's has marked up its cards, at least on ebay, even more to account for this, but Dean's may have an exclusive relationship with comc since they do such a large volume to have one price on comc and another on ebay. Wepeons can't do this. The rest of us have to live with the 20% off our one price OR list all our cards (on comc and ebay) at a higher price to compensate, and just allow comc buyers to bargain us down a little more. I had several meetings with different comc folks at the national, I think Iwas becoming a nuisance, but I learned a bit. One thing that surprised meis that many comc buyers don't join comc and therefore can not bargain, they must just pay the listed price. Since bargaining is such a good option on comc, it seems silly not to take advantage. Another thing I learned is that there are now folks who, like on ebay, troll the site for cards that sell for somewhat less than other similar cards, buy them and immediately relist, ie flipping, hoping to make profit. My experience, limited to be sure, is that this may work for high turnover stuff, like some newer pricey UV product, but not so sure it works often for staid vintage. Also it helps to check the listing number, which is up tosome 27 million right now. This is the number of cards that have been listed on comc. The most recently listed card will be the highest number. Soif you see a number that is in the 7 million range, you know that it has sat on the site for some time without moving. This is the only way I can tell how recently a card has been listed. I know that getting money back after you deposit with comc can cost 20%, soI deposit the minimum each time, an amount I know I will spend eventually and never have to withdraw. Hoping more of us can chime in with comc strategy. I keep bugging them to allow us to have a watch list, like ebay, but so far nothing.

The great thing is that you have no listing to make, no mailings to do, no customers to answer questions from, and nobody to get complaints from. That's worth something, actually can be worth a lot. I think perhaps if you are selling a set that would sell for around $X on ebay, you might do better to sell through comc, since you can total more income by selling individually. You may total $2X gross and pay out around 25% expense and make some profit with less work. But this will most likely only work for sets that have some appeal as individual cards, and not so much for a very common set like a 1990 Donruss (BTW, anyone want one??) I was told if you don't see many of what you want to sell on comc, you willbe more likely to find buyers there.

Doug is visiting family in Gainesville over the holiday weekend, and made the 1.5 hour trip W/NW for the meet-up. I should also say Doug had to brave hurricane Hermine to get to Gainesville in the first place! Now I forgot that Doug and I have actually met once before, at one of the first OBC meetings at Arlington TX back in =E2=9992-=E2=9994 back in the old days. I was living in Oklahoma City at the time. Doug was easy to spot in his OBC shirt, OBC hat, and OBC posture. Bent over stacks of vintage cardboard LOL! The traditional handshake ensued with Doug handing me SIX big hits 1934 Goudey, which takes me over 55% completed set. All beautifully trimmed, just my style. Doug also included a 2016 schedule for his local team the Asheville Tourists. Some dealers had to cancel because of the hurricane, but there was plenty of vintage cardboard! I didn=E2=99t spend much today, I see these dealersevery month, plus next Saturday is the BIG show down south at =E2=9CTheVillages=E2=9D retirement community. I picked up three 1955 "Golden Stamp Books=E2=9D NY Giants (anybody collect this set?) also a 1971 hi number #728 for .75c NL rookie outfielders if anybody needs the =E2=9971 LMKI=E2=99ll send it off. Also Doug and I bought a nice stack of 1963 Topps baseball to send to Doug Smith I think we found thirty some hits for $8 we both chipped in four dollars. With all the talk about the 1963 Topps Astronaut cards, my dealer friend Fred had two pairs of the 3-D glasses used to view the 1963 Topps Astronaut cards with the 3-D backs. I tried them out they work super cool. The meteorites are coming right off the card LOL! I also picked up a Planet Of the Apes #1 card in the set, I always pick up the first and last cards in these sets even if dupes if I see them cheap. I introduced Doug to all my dealer friends there, and also to a collector friend of mine Patrick. Patrick told me that one of our dealers had just purchased a collection of baseball cards, and the dealer thought I might be interested in them. STACKS of =E2=9952 Topps, beautiful =E2=9953 Bowmancolor, =E2=9954 Bowmans, =E2=9956 Topps, and not all these are commons either. The dealer had them priced based on how many you bought. Well, of course I had all of them, and just didn=E2=99t need to spend the $$$ on duplicates upgrades or Dealer Scum right now. Doug and I walk around and end up back at this hoard of beauties, next thing I know we are all counting these cards to see what kind of deal Doug can swing on the whole batch! Ended up being 650 cards and the dealer kept sweetening the deal with other cards Doug had set aside. STACKS of cards exchanged for STACKS of cash LOL! Doug treated me to a late breakfast next door at =E2=9CBob Evans=E2=9D where we talked baseball cards, family, life, God, and of course we talked about all of you LOL! Plans were made for me to take a visit up north one of these days. Doug said he might try for the National this summer as well.

Then in another weekI'll be receiving 54 and 55 bowman as well as 54 Topps. Now don't get too excited, the huge names aren't included. No big 3 RCs from 54 Topps. No mantle Mays in the 54 and 55 bowman. But 60 and 62 Topps does have Mick. Most sets are missing 4-5 cards. If anyone is interested in checking out the ones coming in, let me know. Prices will be pretty cheap since. I'll have somevariations for 62 Topps that I'm going to waiver wire or RAOK. Anyways, here's the info for 59 Topps that I have posted on Net54 for $625 right now. Take it on OBC for $550. Low grade 1959 Topps near set. I picked this up the other day and it was missing 5 cards (Mantle, Maris, Gibson, Campy Courage, Mantle AS).

They are completely different animals. While the '53set can be completed relatively easily, and in nice condition, the initialset (1952) is much more of a challenge in both areas. The traditional difficult cards in '52 are Erautt and Peterson, followed by Welmaker. There arealso higher demand cards, led by Chuck Connors, Mel Ott, Joe Gordon, and Lefty O'Doul. Complicating the definition of a set is the inclusion of several variations, including color and cropping. SCD lists three cards with "schedule backs". I can only verify two of the cards, but they will prove to be the most challenging....and likely expensive.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "jehutch75@gmail.com [OBC-Ramblings]" To: "obc-ramblings" Sent: Sunday, September 4, 2016 7:18:17 AM Subject: [OBC-Ramblings] 1952 Mother's Cookies- need some info These look neat and I have wanted to build a PCL set for a while.

Eastern Daylight Time, OBC-Ramblings-noreply@yahoogroups.com writes: There are two PCL baseball sets produced by Mothers Cookies, the first in '52; the second in '53. They are completely different animals. While the '53 set can be completed relatively easily, and in nice condition, the initial set (1952) is much more of a challenge in both areas. The traditional difficult cards in '52 are Erautt and Peterson, followed by Welmaker. There also higher demand cards, led by Chuck Connors, Mel Ott, Joe Gordon, and Lefty O'Doul. Complicating the definition of a set is the inclusion of several variations, including color and cropping. SCD lists three cards with "schedule backs". I can only verify two of the cards, but they will proveto be the most challenging....and likely expensive....

Doug is visiting family in Gainesville over the holiday weekend, and made the 1.5 hour trip W/NW for the meet-up. I should also say Doug had to brave hurricane Hermine to get to Gainesville in the first place! Now I forgot that Doug and I have actually met once before, at one of the first OBC meetings at Arlington TX back in =E2=9992-=E2=9994 back in the old days. I was living in Oklahoma City at the time. Doug was easy to spot in his OBC shirt, OBC hat, and OBC posture. Bent over stacks of vintage cardboard LOL! The traditional handshake ensued with Doug handing me SIX big hits 1934 Goudey, which takes me over 55% completed set. All beautifully trimmed, just my style. Doug also included a 2016 schedule for his local team the Asheville Tourists. Some dealers had to cancel because of the hurricane, but there was plenty of vintage cardboard! I didn=E2=99t spend much today, I see these dealersevery month, plus next Saturday is the BIG show down south at =E2=9CTheVillages=E2=9D retirement community. I picked up three 1955 "Golden Stamp Books=E2=9D NY Giants (anybody collect this set?) also a 1971 hi number #728 for .75c NL rookie outfielders if anybody needs the =E2=9971 LMKI=E2=99ll send it off. Also Doug and I bought a nice stack of 1963 Topps baseball to send to Doug Smith I think we found thirty some hits for $8 we both chipped in four dollars. With all the talk about the 1963 Topps Astronaut cards, my dealer friend Fred had two pairs of the 3-D glasses used to view the 1963 Topps Astronaut cards with the 3-D backs. I tried them out they work super cool. The meteorites are coming right off the card LOL! I also picked up a Planet Of the Apes #1 card in the set, I always pick up the first and last cards in these sets even if dupes if I see them cheap. I introduced Doug to all my dealer friends there, and also to a collector friend of mine Patrick. Patrick told me that one of our dealers had just purchased a collection of baseball cards, and the dealer thought I might be interested in them. STACKS of =E2=9952 Topps, beautiful =E2=9953 Bowmancolor, =E2=9954 Bowmans, =E2=9956 Topps, and not all these are commons either. The dealer had them priced based on how many you bought. Well, of course I had all of them, and just didn=E2=99t need to spend the $$$ on duplicates upgrades or Dealer Scum right now. Doug and I walk around and end up back at this hoard of beauties, next thing I know we are all counting these cards to see what kind of deal Doug can swing on the whole batch! Ended up being 650 cards and the dealer kept sweetening the deal with other cards Doug had set aside. STACKS of cards exchanged for STACKS of cash LOL! Doug treated me to a late breakfast next door at =E2=9CBob Evans=E2=9D where we talked baseball cards, family, life, God, and of course we talked about all of you LOL! Plans were made for me to take a visit up north one of these days. Doug said he might try for the National this summer as well.

Spent the day unpacking and card sorting. Along the way I picked up a load of stuff thanks to visits to 2 Denver areacard shops. I was also lucky enough to meet up with old friend Geno Wagnerto take in the Rockies vs Giants game last Monday afternoon. Maureen and I, along with Geno and his family, went for pre-games hotdogs at local establishment "Biker Jim's", then on to the game (if you ever go to Coors Field I highly recommend buying tickets for "The Rooftop" section in RF. Bars, restaurants, open standing. open seat selection, and only $14 a ticket including a $6 voucher for food/drinks. Amazing value!! After the game, we headedback to Geno's place for a beer before getting back to my cousin's house for dinner. Geno passed a nuch appreciated SCP along to me in the form of a 1959T #522 Snyder (LA). Thanks for the card and the company, Geno...and hopefully I'll get back to you on plans for next year once I figure out the finances. Also, apologies for not getting back to you re a second visit to Bill's Sports Collectibles. It was very late in the day before we finally gotthere and it literally was just a flying visit of about 10 minutes as we had to get back to meet family for Mexican food. I mentioned that I'd visited a couple card shops. They were Mike's Stadium in Aurora and the aforementioned Bill's. Both had their charms but Bill's was something special!!! I can see why Guru love's it so much. Barely a piece of floor space is unused and the guys who work there are very friendly and helpful. I picked up several hits and upgrades to my 1958T, 1959T, and 1962T sets, started the 1960 Leaf Baseball set, snagged another 5 1963 Topps Astronauts, replenished the dupes box somewhat and enjoyed a frenzy of packopening thanks to the purchase of several boxes of UV.

Since then I won a lot on eBay and just received 8 cards from net54. What is interesting is that I was trying to make head waywith only the 53 set first and maybe the 52 down the road which is double or more on price. In the two bunches of cards I snag since starting I endedup with more 52 cards then 53 in those lots. I took me by surprise since they and I thought they were 53's. Just had to revise my list after discovering a bunch were 52's; and yes for the price of the 53's. I would say they are cool cards and can not believe I did not know about them all this years.also on a side note..... Mark Macare the guru of west coast things found the one card i needed to ice the 1955 mothers cookie sportcard set. The set was done for an avg of $1.80 each which the dealers all agree it is highway robbery and the set is impossible to find .

Some of you are probably subscribers to The Wrapper, as am I. George Vrechek Coverage of U.S. non-sports cards has been handled by The Wrapper magazine since 1978. Founder Les Davis of Montgomery, Illinois, still publishes the magazine seven times per year and recently passed the 300-issue milestone. Long-time readers and advertisers have helped Davis keep the publication going, even helping directly with the first class postage. A typical recent issue had 80 pages with four long articles, letters to Les and ads from 37 advertisers. Articles included a good dosage of post-war sets and discussed some of the same issues found in the sports card hobby. When your subscription expires the editor sends you a reminder, along with a few non-sports cards. Many ads are extensive - throwbacks to the pre-internet days. If Jefferson Burdick (The Father of Card Collecting) were still around today, he would definitely subscribe to both SCD and The Wrapper. Burdick donated 306,353 cards to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and about 275,000 of those were non-sports cards. The Wrapper website is the (Annual subscriptions are $25. Incidentally, I think the price for 26 issues of SCD for new subscribers is only $25 or $30.) ================= Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2016 12:02:13 -0400 To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: Auction mailings From: Andy I'm mailing the last last three lots for Adriance, Mackie and Rumley-Wells tomorrow.

I grewup near there, a five minute drive from his shop. He used to have autograph signings at his shop. Lots of 85 Bears, some White Sox players. Always great stuff on the walls. However, I personally have never found good deals on vintage. After I joined OBC, I went into his shop looking for vintage. Hedidn't have much other than what was in his cases and what was hanging on the walls. I thought his prices were high. I told him about my collection, about OBC - he really didn't offer much back to me in terms of a conversation. He really didn't say much at all. I think I am a pleasant person. I have good relationships with dealers that I frequent at the big shows. I'm sure I was wearing a Red Sox hat - maybe that was held against me. Last year, from September to March, I was staying with my parents during the weekdays in an effort to avoid colds and other bugs as I try and get my body on track. I didn't go to his shop once - and it's five minutes from my parents. Didn't even think about it. So, I am glad to hear that Mike and Aaron had a good time at the shop and found some hits. Glad to hear that Mike had such agood time that he plans on going back when he is back in town. George, letme know when you go. Would be glad to meet up with you.

I wish I could afford to purchase that collection of 179 =E2=9949 and =E2=9950 Bowman baseball cards and send then out RAOK, but I can=E2=99t. So without the option of Dealer Scum, I would have just left those cards behind. It does involve some time and effort answering emails and preparing packages. But there is a couple of benefits forme too. I always compare these purchases to what is currently in my collection, and I upgrade when possible. Also it does help me build rapport with some of these dealers that I will see again. I=E2=99ve got a small stackremaining and it looks 100% for me to break even (which is the goal) maybeeven come out a few bucks ahead (which is not the goal). It=E2=99s hardwhen trying to compare what I paid, and then parse them out and not get killed on postage. Three puffies and eight envelopes out in todays mail. Oh and the "no copy-right=E2=9D sharks were out in force LOL! It does appear that the 1952 Topps #163 is one of the tough grey backs. 1952 Topps cards numbered 131-190 with gray (or is it grey LOL) backs are quite rare, and I usually pay attention to this fact when thumbing through stacks of 1952 Topps baseball cards. After a couple years of looking, Saturday I finally found one. A quick search on eBay generates four like cards all graded PSA and are Buy It Now priced from $750 (PSA3) to $4,000 (PSA 6) of course I understand that these cards are still sitting there. With the inputI got from Ken Morganti, I think I will have PSA slab this card, whether at next summers National or maybe just mail it off to them. My $4 card will probably grade PSA 2 and could it bring $500 that would be amazing? If thisis correct I will flip this card for sure!

Mac Wubben dealer scummed me a 1915Harry Hooper Cracker Jack, Hooper as a Red Sox is an extremely tough card(at least for an amateur like me) would've definitely been on my top 10 listif I had one. And one of my white whales arrived in the mail today, a T202 Joe Wood/Tris Speaker triple folder! I've been bidding on and losing this one for well over a decade and didn't quite believe it when I finally wonone earlier this week, such a beautiful card! If you told 13 year old me that I would own these cards when I grew up, I would've said my life was a success! That 2004 Red Sox World Series victory was pretty sweet as well.

From: Glenn Codere Just wanted to provide you with a heads up after a recent trade experience. I recently completed a trade with a guy on the Topps Heritage Collectors Facebook page. Unfortunately, he got stung for $14 postage when sending only 5 cards to me. How did that happen? Seems he put them in a puffy which doesn't go through the normal USPS mail machinery and therefore counts as a package rather than a letter. The lesson is, if you're kind enough to send anything to me, please put them in a plain envelope so it can be processed as a letter. It's MUCH cheaper!! I'm also hoping that I may be able to direct mail via my cousin in Denver in future. As many of you know, for several years OBCer Bill Ashton has acted as a middleman on my behalf, taking delivery of a variety of auction items and other purchases and forwarding a box on to me periodically. I'm extremely grateful to Bill for doing this for me for so long. He's really helpedme a great deal. As it happens, my cousin is planning on visiting us here in Scotland next year, so it kind of makes sense to have him gather stuff on my behalf for the foreseeable future and bring it over with him. I'll provide that alternate address for OBCers to use too as soon as I can. Cheers for now!

Otherwise, grab a beverage of your choice and/or maybe a light snack.  TAKE A RIDE ON THE READING: I got news of yet another work transfer on Monday. On Labor Day, I visited my old store in Danvers to help out and I learned that I probably wasn't going back there after the summer. They were right about that, but I had assumed that meant I was stuck in Quincy. Starting next week, I'll be resuming my role as frozen food manager in the Reading store. No pay raise, unless you count the 50 bucks/month I won't have to pay in tolls and the extra couple hours/week I won't be sitting in traffic going through Boston every day. It's a slower store, but that also means I probably won't get a lot (or any) help.MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT: I went into work early today (6 instead of the usual 7AM). I was on my way to the back room, when I heard the sound of s omeone hitting a cart in the water/soda aisle. This isn't unusual, as people frequently drop 24-packs of bottled water into the cart to make that sound. However, this morning there was a second sound immediately afterward that got my attention. The sound of someone's head hitting the cement floor - hard. I called 911 as the poor guy slowly regained consciousness. We had a fire truck, police cruiser ...and finally an ambulance on scene. I later learned that he was a diabetic, but he couldn't tell me how old he was while I was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher. He wanted to stand up (I think) and he kept saying he just wanted to go home. The customer broke his glasses and earned himself a one inch gash (with a nasty looking contusion) on the back of his head (which fortunately didn't bleed a lot), as well as a probable concussion. Pretty scary stuff for a bit though. It might be one of my lasting memories of being in that store now... or anywhere for that matter.KEN M GOES A-COURTIN' (or not): No, not that kind of courting. My previous 911 call was for the two guys who were breaking into cars on my street back in May. The DA finally got back to me. (I had called his office because I thought there was a mistake with the original summons I got - then I realized what it was for.) The DA told me my appearance was cancelled for this Monday and that I'd have to look at a police photo array as part of the procedure - even though I've stated (the night it happened) that I probably couldn't pick him out of a lineup and that they might be charging/trying the accomplice, who I didn't see at all until they arrested him. I was also picked for jury duty at the end of the month. I got a postcard that it had also been cancelled. That just leaves one court appearance left when I hopefully go before the judge with a signed separation agreement - but that remains to be seen.LET'S GET READY TO RUUMMBLE! The baseball season is winding down, while football season i s officially underway. It's a pleasant change to see meaningful baseball games still being played in Boston in September. The Bruins and Celtics should be starting up as well, making it the best time of the year to be a sports fan.THE POSTMAN COMETH (and goeth): My auction lot and a few other overdue packages finally got put into the mail. I also finally got around to paying for the three lots I won the day before the third one arrived. Sorry for the delay on both ends on my account.  UNTITLED: My heart is heavy and my thoughts are with Steve and Gina after I read the latest update here and on Facebook. I hope God grants them both peace and comfort. I have no words to express how sorry I am that they have gone through everything I've read about so far. And with that I have no more words for you to read.

Who? From: Ken M    I think I've typed something on this topic before. I couldn't find the thread with the poor search function on YahooGroups... or it might just be my phone.   I've completed the 66 set twice. The first set I started back in the mid 80's, when I was just getting into vintage collecting (and collecting ex+ stuff). I was at a Hall's Nostalgia monthly auction and they split a complete set into two lots: 1-522 and the high numbers in the second lot. I bid on and won the first lot - it was my birth year set, so I was eager to start it. I still have the auction scorecard from that day. I paid $325 for the 522 card lot. I should've realized something was up back then when the bidding on the high numbers went way past what I paid for Mantle, Mays, Clemente, Rose and most of the other stars in the set. I think it ended up between 500-600. Unfazed (and naive), I decided, "Well, I'll just get the last 75 cards the hard way." TEN YEARS LATER: I still had a handful of these impossibl e to find cards on my list. In the rare instances where shops or shows had them, they were usually below my condition requirements (I wanted them to match the ones I started the set with). I think the last card to fall was the Tigers team card shortly after I joined OBC (or maybe late 90's).  Then I smartened up. Second time around was easier. I sorta fell into collecting the set a second time. My fav card shop in Boston was having a 20% off everything in the store sale one day. The owner frequently showed me stuff he didn't have in the display cases (stuff he just bought, hadn't marked up or just didn't have room for at the time.) He shows me a two row box packed with toploaders, and some loose cards. The toploaders are all big names, mostly mid 60's with a few older cards: Aaron, Williams, Banks, Koufax, a couple Mantles... etc. There's a small post-it on the top of the box that had something like $1100 written on it. I ask if that's the price for the whole box and can I get it for 20% off of that. I walk out with about about 300 cards for about 900 bucks. The loose cards were most of the 1966 high number run including a Twins team card. The stars in the toploaders accounted for the majority of the lower number 1966 stars including one of the Mantles. I needed mostly commons and maybe a dozen high numbers, so I started the set again - this time any condition goes. I figured that would justify what I paid for the box and give you guys a target to hit... the rest was gravy. And man, some of the cards I got to send out as RAOK's were awesome! Former OBC'er Ron Kingsbury literally threw a box of 66's at me and it took a lot less time the 2nd time around (I knew which cards to pull the trigger on when I found them, although the box gave me a huge jump on the set.) I think the last two were bought at a Ft. Washington show on a Sunday. The dealers weren't having a good show and were selling whatever they could just to recoup their table fees. This guy called me over and asked what I was looking for, practically begging me to buy something, anything at his table. I got a semi-high Aaron and the high numbered Perry at his table to ice the set for 20 bucks I think. This was probably 15 years ago.  Now with eBay, COMC and other internet tools at my disposal, it's easier to track down the cards for vitually any set - but I don't think I'll try that one a third time. You never know though...

Who? I'd like to have a conversation about 1966 Topps seventh series, or cards 507-598. Would enjoy hearing people's stories of ways they've approached finishing this particular series. Do you have them all? Did anyone actually buy 7th series packs new? What are the hardest ones to find? How do they compare with the big names in the rest of the set? I also know the price guides REALLY don't reflect or even understand how hard some of these cards are to buy. I personally watch every copy of 591 (Shirley/Jackson) on eBay and they consistently end over $100. I only have 14 of the 92-card series, and will very likely never pursue the whole series. I know it's almost blasphemous at first, but think about it. No offense to their mommas, but who were Chi Chi Olivo, Choo Choo Coleman and Chico Salmon? I just can't justify chasing these nobodies instead of the Mantle, Aaron, Brock, Maris, Gibson… Right? RIGHT?!? On my limited budget, if I can get a legendary Gibby or get a Choo Choo Coleman, which one makes sense? To that end, I'd like to hear what I should expect if I targeted these 6 specific cards. I think I would consider it "finished enough" if I got them... thoughts? 514 Woodeshick. 526 Twins Team. 544 Cardinals Rookies. 550 McCovey. 570 Mahaffey. 583 Tigers Team. So that means three Cardinals, two team cards and McCovey for the 500 HR club. Plus I'd always like to get another 591 because it's my very own last-name-sake Mister Bart Shirley. I have one of them, because it's actually the FIRST Shirley Topps card. But I bought it more than 20 years ago, and it cost WAY less than it would now. I seriously hear a lot about this being one of the HARDEST cards in the set. But why would it be harder than any other SP? Okay... hoping this will get some conversation going. Say what you know, say what you think, even if you think we've talked about this too much already. I believe our pooled expertise is a thing worth pursuing and documenting!

From: Jimi Thayer Hey guys, I wanted to clue some of you in on buying bubble mailers on the cheap. I remember buying 10 bubble mailers in a pack at Walmart years ago for like $5or whatever it is, and thinking, "Wow, this is so much better than buying them one at a time!" LOL. Then, I discovered Sam's Club sold them for $6-7 for a box of 25, so I did this for a couple of years, until the stupid lightbulb went on and I thought, "Why haven't I been checking EBay for this kind of stuff?" I already have to buy baseball card supplies in bulk on eBay because there is no card shop anywhere near here, so why wouldn't they have bubble mailers for cheap on eBay? Guess what? They do!!! Soooooo.......the last bulk order I made was for 500 bubble mailers for only $30+!!! They have a plethora of sizes from all sorts of companies selling their bubble mailers. You can get some for $35 for 250 depending on the brand or size, and like I said, I got 500 for that price last time. Maybe some of you have another avenue to get them cheaper, and I'd love to hear! I send out so many packages that buying this many makes sense, and to be honest.....I have the room for them, although 500 mailers doesn't really take up THAT much room. :) With this in mind, look around for other supplies in bulk on eBay. I buy 12 binders in a box, and 9-pocket sheets by the case as well. ANd I also buy boxes in bulk, too. I bet a couple of you have access to a wholesaler somewhere that beats these prices, but I thought I'd at least try to spread a little joy today! :) Sent from my iPad ================= Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:58:30 -0400 To: Jay Tysver Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] Re: [OBC-Wantlist] Let's do some 1975 work From: jerry barnes >> 1975 TOPPS wanted for STEVE SANKNER: 1 3 4 5 7 11 12 29 33 37 41 50 57 60 61 68 70 74 77 90 93 98 100 108 122 126 130 140 141 143 144 150 157 163 164 170 183 190 191 192 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 203 204 205 207 208 211 213 223 224 235 257 260 288 300 306 307 309 312 320 323 331 335 386 394406 412 417 423 429 433 440 441 447 460 470 486 507 510 511 515 518 523 525 531 555 562 580 595 604 617 622 657.

From: Kent I took a vacation out to the west coast the end of the August for my nephew's wedding in Calistoga, Ca. A beautiful wedding set up in the Napa Valley wine country. Naturally we (the wife and I) did some wine tasting. Anyhow we (my brother, sister, and the wife of course) went up to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days. We love going up there as the parents used to own a cabin there back in day. Anyway fresh mountain air and great beaches and the lake of course. Anyway now to point the last night we are there I fell. Long story short I dislocated the knee. I was at the bottom of a flight of stairs and the knee locks up and as I am falling I reached for the railing and the damn railing comes apart. I've been having knee problems for the past year and the doctor had said I would need a knee replacement and surgery was coming in the future. This happening may make doing the surgery sooner than I'd like as we had been doing shot treatments. So, now it is three weeks later and I'm still hobbling around. I've missed the first three weeks of the bowling season and may be out for another three weeks at least. Doing therapy and it seems to be getting better but still can't bend the knee like normal without some discomfort. Anyway the wife's been a trooper catering to my needs during my recovery period. lol. With me being incapacitated I have had time to sort out cards so I will be mailing out cards in the near future.

Who? From: Jay Tysver I'm down to six left in the set. The way I figure it, if a card is consistently $100, that's the same as a superstar I don't think I went over $70 on the Grant Jackson rookie, which I only didto complete the set. I got lucky and picked up 30-40 cards as part of a 500 card near set for a couple I try not to spend $15 or more on any card but there are a few I went $30-40 I may be wrong, but I think the '66 highs are harder to find than the '67s.

I once got a substitute card for one I had ordered and found out that it had sold onone of the other sites. dean Hanley said when that happens, if it does not get instantly removed from the other two sites, they sent a different version of the card that is equal or better than the one ordered. I told him that I collect variations and this was one so I did not need the card, justthe version I saw. He did refund the purchase but that is small consolation.

But they looked at 1964. Facepalm. This is at the 63 World Series! The number 23 was worn at times in 1963 by Marv Breeding and Don Zimmer. Zim was purchased by the Senators in June, so he wasn't at the 63 WorldSeries. That's MARV BREEDING. Or some other schlub who put on a spare 23 jersey that day. You know how long it took me to figure all that out? About 3 minutes. Aboutas long as it took Dean's Cards to actually look up #23 and see who wore it, get it wrong, and list DOZENS of cards that way every single time. But now that they've got it wrong, they are going to list it wrong, (say it withme) EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Hooray for automation! Okay, I'm done.

The Dodgers used 4 pitchers in the four games Koufax, Podres, Perranowski and Drysdale. Only one reliever and he only pitched 1/3 of an inning. The Dodger pitchers only gave up 4 runs in four games, to a Yankees team that had Mantle and Maris. The age old adage that good pitching will beat good hitting.

Looks like he has finally changed his address to the new house up north. Rogers City is where they have moved to.

From: mikesportsfan@aol.com Congratulations!!! That is a major accomplishment. Sal swapped me the 58 YL Clemente at the National to get me down to just 77 Zimmer to complete the yellow letters. I have a couple of yellow letters and lots of other material to swap to complete this, if anyone can help me out. With Sal also recently completing my 1952 red and black backs, this has become my highest priority variation to finish.

Pardon the interruption - but I have to share: right before we left for ourNew York/New Mexico vacation, I somehow won a 1958 yellow letter Clemente on eBay for under 50 bucks. It arrived when we got home, so my '58 YL/YT quest is now finished! Only the elusive Herrera error card is missing from my'58 master set. Thanks to all who have helped along the way!

From: richard dingman Congrats on that! I have completed the yellow letters and also need the Herrera print variation, as well as a few other oddities I have seen but not bought --- 243 Raines with Mazeroski back, 284 top of 1 in 17 RBI gone OR yellow spot left of Ray, 399 missing letters in logo box, 435 lower right corner white, 447 yellow blob(s) above back, 474 triangle inside Semproch "p", Plus a few other cards with orange vs red or such minor color print variations. If you come across any of those I would be interested in a trade.

Here's my list: 1958 TOPPS VARIATIONS 46YN (Sleater), 52YT (Clemente), 65YN (McDaniel), 76YT (Farrell). Let me know if we can help each other. BE WELL!!!!
