No limit on how many lots you request, but you can only win one lot. I=E2=99ll keep track of who is interested in each lot, and draw the winner out of the =E2=9Csplatter=E2=9D cover that sits on top of my microwave oven. Gurus =E2=9CWauction=E2=9D ends this Sunday at 6AM EST, with =E2=9CWauction Winners=E2=9D announced. The =E2=9CWauction=E2=9D catalog will be published on the OBC Facebook 1. 1958 Topps baseball #47 Roger Maris poor condition (rookie card). Off center L-R 95-5 and the card has numerous light creases but presents well. Roger is pictured in his Cleveland Indians uniform. Lower left corner severely 2. 1962 Topps baseball #139 =E2=9CBabe Hits 60=E2=9D GREEN TINT! Limegreen infield dirt, support pole visible in the background, and a less focused image. All the characteristics (according to Tom Housleys green tint checklist) that green tint collectors search for! The card is off centered both top-bottom, and left to right, but otherwise a solid VG-EX! GREENIE FEVER, CATCH IT! 3. 1959 Topps baseball #380 Hank Aaron. Consigned to Gurus =E2=9CWauctions=E2=9D, this is a solid G condition card! No paper loss at all, but has some pretty dinged up corners and numerous light creases. Milwaukee Braves! 4. 1952 Topps baseball #122 Jack Jensen NY Yankees. One of the preferred horizontal cards in the iconic Topps set! 1958 American League MVP, Jackie retired in 1960 due to his fear of flying, and being separated from his family. This card has a weird fan shaped heavy crease pattern on the lower left edge, like it was caught in a machine of some sort? Or maybe bicycle spokes? 5. 1953 Tops baseball #228 Hal Newhouser high number short print. Detroit Tigers. Card appears to have been glued into a scrap book, and features paper loss on the back from removal. Beautiful image on the front! Baseball HOF1992, and his Tigers uniform #16 has been retired by the Detroit club. After his retirement from pitching, =E2=9CPrince Hal=E2=9D worked as a big league scout. Retired for good after the Houston Astros refused his recommendation to draft Derek Jeter. 6. 1951 Bowman baseball #151 Larry Doby Cleveland Indians. No paper loss and just a beautiful G-VG card! 1998 baseball HOF. While serving overseas in WWII, Larry heard that Jackie Robinson had signed a minor league contract, and became the second player to break the color barrier. 7. 1954 Topps baseball #20 Warren Spahn. G condition card with just a slight amount of paper loss on the front. A great image of Warren, and that beautiful, rich, baby blue background sets this card apart! 8. 1955 Bowman baseball #265 AL Barlick (umpire card). Worked for 28 years in the National League, and was elected to the HOF in 1989. Known for his strong voice and booming strike calls. A solid G condition card, but suffersfrom minor paper loss on the back. This paper loss affected the card number, so I have conveniently =E2=9Cinked=E2=9D it in. 9. 1966 Topps baseball =E2=9Crub-off=E2=9D wax pack insert Pete Rose.Perfectly centered example which is VERY rare for this issue! One of the keys to this set, but has some toning and light creasing. 10. Non-Sports SPECIAL. 1976 Donruss =E2=9CSpace 1999=E2=9D full set of 66 cards with an unopened wax pack! Based upon the TV series starring Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. Plus you can turn the cards over and completea really cool puzzle! ================= Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 11:57:30 -0400 (EDT) To: OBC Ramblings , Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] MINI MAY is here!

First, I should point out that I was not the whistleblower on the card in question. However, I did find an eerily similar looking card by doing a completed item search on eBay. Comparisons of the Wauction photo on Facebook and the eBay photo lead me to believe in my 'expert' opinion that they are indeed the same card OR a super rare variation that was produced exactly two times. I am seriously considering placing a "bid" on this card to complete my master set (minus the 50 Canadian gray backs and probably a dozen more obscure ones I don't care to find out about). I would urge GGS to encapsulate the card and revise the listing accordingly to ensure bidder confidence (but only if there's some time to kill between accepting bids). I must also ask if this was an isolated incident or have any other cards been similarly affected? I eagerly await the photo evidence and GGS report.

First, I should point out that I was not the whistleblower on the card in question. However, I did find an eerily similar looking card by doing a completed item search on eBay. Comparisons of the Wauction photo on Facebook and the eBay photo lead me to believe in my 'expert' opinion that they are indeed the same card OR a super rare variation that was produced exactly two times. I am seriously considering placing a "bid" on this card to complete my master set (minus the 50 Canadian gray backs and probably a dozen more obscure ones I don't care to find out about). I would urge GGS to encapsulate the card and revise the listing accordingly toensure bidder confidence (but only if there's some time to kill between accepting bids). I must also ask if this was an isolated incident or have anyoth er cards been similarly affected? I eagerly await the photo evidence and GGS report.

I dropped off a dozen gray backs to PSA and walked around for a short while. I didn't buy too much besides the giant stack of red checklists. Found a Csonka RC for 50 cents and a 1968 Topps MB common for a buck. Otherwise not much to report. I didn't see any OBC'ers and I'm kinda mad I missed seeing both Nick Pelletier and Mike McCann, both of whom I forgot to keep an eye out for. Now that I think of it, Mike's table was the last one I stopped at before leaving and he wasn't there. I guess I'll have to meet up with both of them in July. Anyway, I have a bunch of pickups from the last two shows I attended and I really need to start sending out some envelopes. I don't think I sent out any packages last month. If I did, it wasn't nearly enough because I don't remember going to the PO recently. I also have a gremlin to report.

An impression that has landed =E2=9CIntern Irv=E2=9D back to sorting 1988 Donruss. The card in question is back in the hands of GGS, and will be encapsulated later this afternoon.

I am trying for a master set as some cards come with different puzzle pieces on the back. I always thought there were 144 different cards. George Vrecheck emailed me that there are only 115 cards in the Master set? Articles at Old Cardboard, and the PSA site say there are 114 cards. I need to do some further checking I don=E2=99t know where I got the idea there are 144 different combinations? Since I already have 112 Imight be closer than I think! I=E2=99m such an idiot LOL! I thought there were 144 different combinations of fronts and backs. So I subtracted the number of cards on my wantlist(32) from what I thought was a full set (144) thats where I came up with the fact I had 112 in my collection so far. So when George tells me there are just 115 cards in the master set (it actually looks like there are 114) that just didn=E2=99t make sense. So I thumbed through my cards and I actually have 82 different out of 114 in the master set or 72% complete. It did give me the chance to re-confirm my want list and I had to make one correction.

As a proud member, I appreciate how this is stated on our front page ofthe website. I think it truly fits the spirit of OBC. It also says, "when collecting was a hobby." Well guess what! The hobby lives on! Yesterday, I ventured into a card store in Dayton. Terry, is the guys name,owns the shop with his mother. Good people. Always friendly, and my 2 yearold Amelia loves going there. She gets frustrated being confined to the car seat. So, yesterday became daddy daughter day as my wife took Nolan to soccer. It was 37 degrees and sideways rain. He loved it. He's only 10. Though childish at times, still innocent. He gets rough, but won't abuse or wantanyone else to hurt anyone. So anyhow, Amelia and I are at the card shop. And she knows automatically she wants to browse. I only buy binder pages and boxes there, as it's mostlyUV. The store owners like to watch her, as do I. She fidgets through some of the open display cases as I cringe. I've seen her work before. She can make sports cards crumble. So the older lady and I giggle, share small talk.Amelia keeps galloping to and from the UV stuff picking out cards. She ended up with one. Like a 2009 upper deck football past heroes of tim brown innotre dame uniform. It was 50 cents. Innocence. She wasn't priced out. She can barely talk, and doesn't know thedifference between boys and girls yet, except long and short hair. So sweet. She also can't tell you the difference between a shiny future stars hockey card or a 71 Topps Clemente. But she knows theyre both cards, and wants to play with them the same. Moving on, she, only 2 ripe years old, approaches the counter and gives thecard to the clerk, looking at me. She needed no prompt. I had a pocket full of coins and fish out a couple quarters. She forks over the 50 cents and pinches her first purchase of a baseball card. Chin tucked into her chest, pot belly stretching her little pink jacket. Her long curly yellow hair obstructing her vision. She was hooked. Card collector! Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. The day my innocent daughtershowed signs of carrying a legacy of youth and a baseball card hobby that OBC is supposed to represent. I don't know what would ever come of me if anything ever destroyed or abused her innocence. But as long as it doesn't happen to her, I guess everything else is okay. Good thing she hasn't been hurt. I thank God for that every day. So the collection I'm protecting from her, will one day be hers to share with Nolan. The cards sometimes can represent perhaps that innocence at times, and I take comfort in that. I would never violate that, which is why OBC appealed to me anyways. Judging by yesterday, I think my daughter may enjoy preserving the hobby as best she learns how. ================= Date: Sat, 6 May 2017 07:21:02 -0400 To: vrechek@ameritech.net, OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] OBC Best Baseball Movies Ever Results - Field From: mikesportsfan@aol.com In Toronto, cannot sleep.

Reading my email, one movie that, rightly so, does not make anyone's list of great baseball movies is "The Slugger's Wife". However, they did get Topps to produce a card of Darryl Palmer for the movie and the card is identical to the 1984 Topps set. I have one--it is probably the most unique item in my collection. Ipicked it up when the movie was being made--got in touch somehow with a guy who was at the filming. He claimed that Topps made a box of 100 or so (I have no idea how accurate that number is). And speaking of baseball books (notice the smooth segue), I recently read abook called "The House of Daniel" by Harry Turtledove. It is a weird book--as it combines a touring minor league team with magic, but the book is mainly baseball. The best part is picking out the people who are allusions to real players.

OBCers voted for their top 10 baseball movies. Points were awarded based on 10 for picking a movie first, 9 for second, etc. The card grades were then assigned by yours truly. I=E2=99ll post this someplace on our website to establish a semi-permanent record. It was never close for the number 1 spot among the 23 OBCers who responded with Field of Dreams listed among the top 10 by 22 of the 23 voters and 14 voters picking it number 1 or 2. The Natural was ranked by 17 voters, and 7 people picked it number 1 or 2. Bull Durham and Eight Men Out fought it out for third place on the podium. A League of Their Own was a top 10 choice of 14 voters, but generally ranked further down the list. The final #10 spot was a close call among 6 films. If we all voted again today, I=E2=99d that the results for pick #10 would change again. Not everyone has seen every movie mentioned. There were movies that received strong support from some of the voters, while others really didn=E2=99t any basis for voting for a movie they hadn=E2=99t seen. It gives us all a list of movies that may be worth watching. The OBCer with the most =E2=9Cright answers=08 221; was Joel Freedman who had 9 of the top 10 movies on his list, missing only my favorite =E2=93 Pride of the Yankees. There are probably movie posters that are collectible for each of these films. LA super-collector Gary Cypres has an entire room filled with sports movie posters. I know there were cards of Robert Redford produced and appeared in The Natural similar to the 1940 Play Balls but in color.

We started off in Anaheim withe Angels. To me the front of their stadium is really well done. We stayed at a hotel 5 minutes from Dodger stadium. The Angels game was so cold - we were not prepared, that we had to buy an Angels blanket. Now, I have an Angels blanket I do not need. The hotel we stayed at had very little parking. Since my hips are bad we have a handicapped parking pass. The hotel had one handicapped spot. By some miracle it was open every night we came back from the games. The best food I had was also at Angels Stadium - a tri tip k-bob with rice and humus. It was an Angel 2 -1 victory over Dodger Stadium was next and of course I had to have a Dodger dog - no big deal to me! The Philles managed to lose all 3 games due to the bullpen. One night (I had never seen this in person) - the Dodgers hit back to back to back homeruns. This happened in the bottom of the ninth.My Phillies hada 5-2 lead. Then the homerun onslaught began. Ok - one homer I can live with that. 5-3 now - another shot - 5-4 ok we still have the lead. Next hitter - pinch hitter hits the tying homer. Pk - lets go extras. Dodgers get more runners on and a seeing eye single drives in the winning run. It was a tough Finally, we ended up in San Siego at Petco. We stayed in the Gaslight district about a 5 minute drive to the ball park. The Padres ended up beating the Rockies. The Rockies pitcher had a no hitter going into the 6th and then the bottom fell out. It was interesting to see a lot of the players that had been with our Padre affiliate in El Paso - teh Chihuahuas. Had a really good sausage fro RandY Jone's grill. The Padres ended up winning. The home team won every game we went to. It wasa a nice trip - only a few weird things but they were minor.

I actually have a great story from that show like 15 years ago so if we get together, I will share I should be able to make it up Saturday. I am about 45 minutes away from the show so it's pretty close by for me. If the weather is good, I'd probably be up for the Pirates game on Friday, too. I work downtown and have a great parking situation when I'm going to the stadiums. I leave the car in our garage here, walk across the street to the T, and then hop on for a free five-minute subway ride to the stadium. I haven't checked yet but if there is a home game Friday night, I would be interested in going, assuming I can get away. I may be able to do a Saturday night dinner, too. Just depends on what is going on that day and how long I stay at the show. Manny is at the games and runs a BBQ place. Well, he's got people doing it for him and he's there, but you get the idea. I didn't get down to the stadium last year or this year yet, so I can't verify if he's still doing that for sure but I assume he is. The requests usually aren't too bad but I remember his bobblehead night a few years ago and everybody and their brother was down there. I'm not much of an autograph guy but he's super nice. The sports marketing agency I used to work with had a guy in our office that was basically his de facto agent of sorts. I will touch base later to update.

E.g., the 1953 Fridley has missing letter(S) at the end of =E2=9Coutfielder=E2=9D but it sells at commons prices. The same scenario exists with the 1957 Gene Baker card with part of the =E2=9Cr=E2=9D in=E2=9CBaker=E2=9D on the back gone. People pay triple figures for it but not nearly as much for the Maglie or Valentinetti that are even better examples of paint anomalies. Go figure.

From: JAY TYSVER I saw an item on Ebay the other day which started out at 1 cent but had a $16 shipping cost. The item itself was probably about a $20-$25 item. Even at $1 the item was an approachable buy. So I asked myself, why the high shipping? It occurred to me that EBay can not charge fees on the shipping. So, essentially, shipping is used to make up the Ebay fees. If you sell an item at a low cost, you don't have large fees. A higher shipping cost could merely mean that the seller is trying to get their money out of selling the item rather than giving 10-15% of the profits to Ebay.

The same scenario exists with the 1957 Gene Baker card with part of the =93r=94 in =93Baker=94 on the back gone.

From: Anson Whaley It's true that eBay previously did not charge sellers a percentage on shipping but they do now. They changed it a while back because sellers were doing exactly what you described. Now, you can still charge exorbitant shipping fees and make it up. But eBay still takes its cut from whatever you charge. What's annoying is that they could easily refund that portion back to sellers that ship through their platform. When a seller prints the eBay label from their site and buys postage, they know how much a seller legitimately paid for shipping. eBay and Paypal ARE separate companies now but that's a non-issue. The money comes from your PP account but eBay still knows what you are paying because they tell you the cost for the shipping label before it is deducted from PP. As a result, even the honest sellers have to scramble and charge buyers MORE than the actual shipping charges if they want to simply break even on postage. Some simply eat it to avoid any hassle. And, as you can imagine, that leads to some buyers saying that sellers overcharged them on shipping, leaving lower ratings, etc. Overall, I really have few problems with eBay. It was the thing that got me back into card collecting, to be honest, and it's great to be able to find almost any card when I need it. But the charging for shipping thing really needs to get sorted out. There was immediate furor when it first happened but it's kind of died down.

If you're still unaware of who they are, look up just about any card ever in finished auctions and you'll see they're stuff is all inflated. They've endured a lot of scrutiny forthis for several years. If I sold that same exact card tomorrow, I might get half that amount. When using VCP, most people take the PWCC prices outof the equations when trying to determine accurate sale prices of graded cards. Kind of like removing the highest grade off a midterm if using a bell Just my two cents, Tom.

It was $30. so a little out of my range, not being a Mets fan. It appears to be some kind of photo card depicting Mets players from different eras, (despite to notation says "1962 Miracle Mets" on it). Many of the players photos have been autographed, all with the same blue sharpie. (Koosman used a pen). Seaver and Carter didn't sign or Frank Thomas either but quite a few others did. If any of you Met fans want to buy this item, I will gladly drive back and get it, it's only about a 25 minute drive. It was $30. I kind of hid it down under the junk where I found it and it's probably still there.

And i can see it now.... 265 pound roid hitter, doesnt even pick up a bat. Just puts on a helmet. Wait. Doesnt even put on a helmet. Just stands up. Umpire looks at pitcher. Pitcher shakes head no. Designated hitter sits down, lets his heart and lungs breath. Eats another chicken. Goes back to bicep curls in the dugout, telling roid stories. Pinch runner called in. The Skipper nods over the 18 year old track star fromcentral Georgia, who doesnt even like baseball. Just does it for money. Wears diamonds on both ears. And so he trots on out to third base, and faces the third base coach. (Mind you, we're still talking about the majors) Embarrassingly, the veteran third base coach, who had a fine career in the 80's, has to point this idiot over first base, as the future hall of fame first base coach scoops the night air into his jersey. He motions the poor kid, i mean millionaire, to join him at first base, and reminds him to face the home plate instead of the out field. The millionaire graduated high school last year. You get the idea. I can see it coming. That's bot baseball. That's just stupid. I'm not sure if I'd ever buy another ticket if I saw this little storytranspire in real life. Except it probably already has, I just don't know of it yet. Just play baseball. Throw the damn ball, and hurry up. You wanna shorten the time of the games? Well then quit the silly shows and 'entertainment' between every inning, and just get on with the freakin pitch!

In writing my stories on Sy, I was helped by his daughter, Maxine, and wife, Gloria. Gloria appreciated the stories. She contacted me three months ago to see if I was interested in accepting Sy's collection of approximately 130 sports books which include many of the popular books about baseball over the last few decades. Some were given to Sy by people he knew, the rest he purchased. None of the books are signed. They are used books, but Sy Berger's used I thought it would be great to have Sy's books and that the number of 130 was miraculously close to our OBC membership. I thought, who wouldn't want a book from Sy Berger in exchange for picking them up or paying for the shipping? I told Gloria that I would be happy to have them, provided I could arrange a way to pick them up. I noticed that Sal Domino was the closest OBCer to Rockville Centre, New York, so I gave him a call. Sal was equally enthused. I told Gloria I would take the books, and that my intention was to re-gift books to OBC members. Recently, Sal picked up 132 books and 17 VCR tapes. Sal and I will prepare a COA for Gloria Berger to sign listing each item referenced to a hologram sticker inside each book or item. The COA will be accessible from our oldbaseball.com website. It looks like the cost to box and ship one book with a hologram will be about $4, depending on the size, weight and distance. Shipping two books in one box will be less than an additional $4. If you want to drop by Sal's house in Levittown, you are welcome to pick up a book at no cost. The goal is to breakeven and to distribute all the items to OBCers. Gloria Berger will be happy to know that we are providing a good home for Sy's books among As to the mechanics, I thought we would work it like our waiver wire claims. Let us know if you are willing to provide a new home for one or more of Sy's books. Take a look at the attached list of books and list the books you would like in order of preference in your email back to me. Sal will do his best to match books and tapes available to your requests. Anyone who wants a book will get at least one book to start with and then additional books will be assigned. You can sign up for all the books and tapes, which would mean that Sal and I won't have to figure out what to do with what is left. Once the dust settles, we will let you know which books from your choices are available to you, and then can provide the shipping costs and collect that prior to shipping. If you don't like the cost or the books available, you can drop out. You agree to keep the books for at least a few years. I have done little heavy-lifting in this project. Sal is the one who deserves the credit for agreeing to pick up six supermarket boxes full of heavy books and moving them into his house, temporarily. Let me know, if you are interested in participating by responding to this email within the next week (by May 28th) with an email to me at Count me in. I'm interested in taking up to _______ books and ________ The books I would like in order of preference are: (see attached list of books). Use the item # on the list to identify the books/videos you want. 4. etc I'll get back to everyone with the results.

Both teams would call up minor league pitchers for the games. I believe they actually played a home and home game each season, although they were a month or 2 apart. Proceeds from the games went to support minor leagues in the area from my recollection, although I could be grossly mistaken on that. At some point they stopped the games and the Tigers started an annual game against their Triple A team, the Toledo Mud Hens. Usually Toledo supplied both pitchers. I think this game ended up getting played in Toledo for a while. Maybe John McLaughlin can help me out with that.

All caps v small letters. Bold printing v thin letters. Some years had different photos of players and others used the same photo over again.

I didn't find onehit for me but good to thumb through some old cardboard. Wauction or handshakes at the National, restock dupes box for NHL playoff losses? SomethingI've never seen before a dealer had all his cards spread out on his two tables and a big sign "Every Card $3" so I bought a '62 Topps baseball WillieTasby and Bob Buhl variation cards that have plain caps and a '59 Topps high number AS Casey Stengel, and told the dealer I'd be back. From another dealer I bought two more '62 Topps hi number Rookie Parade cards which always get plenty of Wauction bids. #597 w Menke and also #598 w Jim Hickman dealer was at $20 for the pair but I got him off of that amount when I pointed out all the flaws lol $15 for both I thought that was prettygood. Next dealer had six nice 1959 Topps hockey cards for $10 but I made him toss in a '58 Topps Lou Groza FB card and a '58 Topps Eddie Mathews AllStar with a clipped corner how often do you see late 50s early 60s hockey?Another dealer sold me an autograph 65 Topps Don Cardwell for .50c why not? Then I went back to the $3 table and asked the guy if he would discount if I bought some more so he was at like $1.50 so I bought:' '57 Robin Roberts,'60 Leaf Wilhelm, '59 Cepeda high number AS, '61 Killebrew, 3 '62 Hi numbers SPs maybe, McCarver RC also Spahn Drysdale and F Robertson AS cards. Some '63 hi numbers and a '64 Minnie Minosa a hi number also a Pinella RC. A nice stack of '67 Leader cards also a Kaline and Ernie Banks cards. Two 1970 WS cards with Nolan Ryan that's a good price right? '72 Bobby Bonds hi number #711 finally a '74 McCovey has Washington Natl League. Then I went to Home Depot and bought my kid a lawn mower and leaf blower sohe can tighten things up around here lol!

Since my memories are fuzzy I pulledout my 1965 Phillies yearbook (which I purchased at Connie Mack Stadium with $1 of my paper route money) and looked at the schedule to confirm. Sure enough, theday after the All-Star game they played the annual "Junior Federation Baseball Game" against the Baltimore Orioles. I never attended one of these, but I do remember listening to Bill Campbell and By Saam describe them, with the young Richie Ashburn, I believe. I don't remember if they played it every year (I can imagineit would alternate with one year home and one year away). But, yes, that certainly did evoke a long forgotten memory. I love it. It also reminded me of the awe with which I was struck the first time, that same game I purchased that yearbook, when I first saw the grass at Connie Mack Stadium. Our Little League had taken us (for the princely sum of $2, including bus). I had NEVER seen anything that green in all my life as the grass at that stadium.

From: Kent I've been relatively quiet since my total left knee replacement surgery. It has been a long and painful recovery as well as healing process with three months of physical therapy to boot but I'm on the way to a better quality of life in which I can walk without pain now. So, I've had time to review and decide what I can do to update/upgrade my wantlist. Hopefully it will be easier for members to hit with. So, here's what I came up with - 1914 B10 Blankets: St. Louis Cardinals Bill Doak - Yellow Pennants Hub Perdue - White,Brown, and Red Infield Hank Robinson - Purple and Yellow Pennants Slim Sallee - Purple Pennants Bill Steele - Purple Pennants Miller Huggins - Yellow Pennants Possum Whitted - Purple Pennants Chief Wilson - Yellow Pennants Brooklyn Robins (to be added later) 1951 Berk Ross lst Set (All 40) 1960 Topps Tattoos (All 96) 1979 Topps Comics (All 33) Special Project Sets: One of my favorite sets in which I want 9 of each card to fill one plastic sheet 1975 Topps Basesball Set (To be announced what I have already when I have binders and sheets in place) (All 660) Special Project Type Card/Misc.: 1st Card or item type card/misc. for football chronologically (To be announced when I have binders and sheets in place) This last project I've been thinking about for quite a while as I go to The National, card shows and mall shows, etc and find and see things that I've never seen before. It may be a undertaking that I may never finish but I'm going to give it a go. I thought about doing this for baseball but just far too many types to deal with. So, I researched the football stuff and decided it was more doable. Plus, I wanted to donate this to the OBC Archives if we had one. Thus, we would have a place to look for identifying football stuff. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome on this topic.I'm always curious as to who read this ramble. ================= To: OBC Ramblings Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 14:58:15 +0000 Subject: nine-set projects and other mini-hoards?

I have mentioned before that I collect the 1955 Gould statues. My wantlist was down to 5. Last week, I found an Ebay listing for 5 Goulds - and 4 of them were the ones on my list, including the Ashburn and the Banks. The entire lot was $64 including shipping, the Banks is generally over $100, and the Ashburn is right up there. I also got the Billy Pierce, and a damaged Bobby Thompson, so all that is left is Sid Gordon, and he is one of the lower priced ones, so should be relatively easy to get. Because of the high prices on the Banks, Ashburn and Mays, I never thought I would finish the set, now I am within spitting distance. Now on to the Dairy Queens!

From: Ken M I was giving this a little more thought and came up with this idea for an 8-pocket 1950's super set:Pockets 1-5: 1952-1956 ToppsPockets 6-8: 1953-1955 BowmanThe question is how many pages would you need? All the sets except 1955 Topps would have at least 224 cards (if you combine the two 1953 Bowman sets) or would you go with more pages and just leave empty pockets when some of the smaller sets were exhausted?  Also, for those of you doing 9-pocket sets: I have the cards in back to back, except the center card which is front to front. Am I the only one who does this? (I think I mentioned this to Ed Schott and he groaned at the idea of having to turn over almost 600 cards in his 1965 set. I don't think he did it.)

From: T J VALACAK MIME-Version: 1.0 Just wanted to give a little background on my 78x9 set. 1978 was the firstyear I collected cards. For most, it's not that popular. For me, I absolutely love it! I had already completed a 1978 set back in 2001. In 2005, Ijoined OBC. At some point I began working on a second set. We were having one of our OBC auctions, and Lynn Miller had four different 1978 lots listed in the auction. I placed bids on all four. Lynn sent me an email, stating that there weren't any hits in the 78 lots to my second set, as he had checked to see if I needed any before putting them up for auction. In my reply back to him, I told him I didn't mind the dupes (or triples), as I would probably always keep working on a 78 set. That's when Lynn came back atme asking if I had ever considered a 1978x9 project. I told him I hadn't,and would probably just stick to one set at a time. About a week later, along with my auction winnings of the four 78 lots, were about 1500 1978 cards. I was on my way. My 1978x9 quest was helped along by many OBCers. The finish was epic. Lynn Miller started me on the project, and he also brought it to a close. He sent me my last 17 hits, which were :Nolan Ryan rb (4),Eddie Murray (6), Thurman Munson (1), George Brett (1), Johnny Bench (2), Rookie SS =E2=93 Klutts, Molitor, Trammell, Washington (3). Who sends 6 Eddie Murray rookies!Unbelievable. I must say, it's pretty cool looking at those 78's. Each card having it's own page. I love it. I do have some 78's in the dupes box- so if Jimmy decides to go for it, letme know. I can help T.J.

The site is mine and the image in question was labeled incorrectly and, thus, ended up on the wrong page. Appreciate the correction and I'll get that fixed. In a much broader sense (and this is for everyone, actually), I am still in the process of making modifications to the site. But when done (I anticipate in the next two weeks), I was hoping to reach out to the group for any other corrections that need to be made. The site has really turned into a much larger project than I initially anticipated. I am not aware of a site focusing only pre-war cards for the four major sports. I expected to be doing about 350 or so set/issue reviews but have pretty much doubled While I was planning to wait before asking for input, please feel free (anyone) to send me additional changes that need to be fixed. The set reviews that are brief right now, such as that one and many of the strip cards, will be expanded. I'm currently in the E-Cards (working my way through alphabetically) with the hopes of making them longer. Once I have those more under control, I'll be mostly working on articles, etc. and have already had several people ask to write issue-specific pieces (which will be welcomed).

When I was gathering them, I purchased a few low grade lots. Three of them that I remember specifically had just commons except HOF Manush. I had dupes on Leslie. (It is a very cool card pose) , I probably had 4 of Harvey Kendrick and another popular one was Lou Chiozza. I wasn't paying attention to colored backs/years in the gathering phase, but maybe if the comment about scarcity is specific to a certain year or version it would make sense than my more general statement. I know I had far more green backs, mainly 1934. But that's not how I collected them, they were compiled that way by eBay dealers. ended up abandoning my set, since it could really be called three sets and the high numbers are really tough. A shortened version, one of each guy, might be feasible. I do have most of the HOFERS. Do you have each Tommy Bridges version, Spike?

I want to thank you for hooking me up to OBC because on Sat I received a 66 Jim Bunning from Josh Levine....just in time for one of my yearly remembrances!!! The 1964 Bunning perfect game ON FATHER'S DAY over the Mets...I was only ten yrs. old, but I think I saw every pitch!! It is fitting that our two teams face one another even as I write these words. Sal, thanks again for you help!! With warm regards: John Subj: Sal Is A Giant of a Man... Date: 97-06-17 06:52:46 EDT From: XDrJ BCC: ChicoD1 FRIENDS.... it takes a big man indeed to be as noble and gracious as our guy Sal. For two "Fathers' Days " I gleefully reminded him of the stunning 64 perfect game hurled by Mr. Bunning against those Mets of his. As a boy of ten, I hung on every pitch! And this year, Sal chronicles the 95 and 96 OBC bantor on the subject! Certainly this was painful for Sal....what a guy! Though I was quiet this Fathers' Day, I did indeed reflect back to 1964 several times during the afternoon. And yesterday morning I respectfully straightened my Bunning commemorative HOF items that adorn my office compliments of Bruce Gregory and the grizzled one! But let me here express public thanks to and respect for Sal Domino....a noble phellow indeed! And also...he's to blame for bringing me into OBC !! Thanks Sal.......

Remember to "Fill in the Blanks". Those who are on the fence, jump on over to the OBC side! The knowledge in this group will make your head spin. For example, Spike just told me I may have to expand my Dodger want list because of some variations I don't have listed. Richard Dingman and Mike Rich are the kings of the miscuts. Steve Rittenburg can fit more cards in his car than any card store you have ever seen. Guru will do some preliminary on site GGS grading, bring him your worst! I think this year, everyone should do a Treasure Hunt to find the absolutely WORST card you can find and bring it to the swap. Remember, there are a few new activities. Cubs are playing Monday against the White Sox, Friday The Brew Crew is home and some are going on a road trip. Steve, we need a call to Mother Hubbard's to let them know we are taking over the joint again. I am already putting handshakes together, so be careful what you purchase between now and the National ;-)...

I haven't read them, but they look like they would be great for kids interested in baseball "back in the day". They appear to be stories of a kid whocan travel back in time to write book reports and does so to learn what itwas like to be part of baseball's biggest scandal and the first prominent black major league player.

I found on Beckett shows in Edmonton and Calgary about six months ago in June they were the 17&18 two different shows so we planned a trip around being there on those dates hoping to score some OPC or other Canadian issue stuff. I've been pumped and super excited to go on this trip counting the days dreaming of all the cool stuff I would see that I've never seen before. Then last week my wife tells me she has to bump it back a week because of work! I know I told her about the shows but as you can expect from most wife's just a shrug of the shoulders. My dreams of that great score just fell like arock now I guess I have to hope to find a card shop or two along the way which I'm very doubtful.

Twenty OBCers responded and expressed interest in 114 items. Fortunately, there were only about 5 items that 3 or 4 people listed, so it looks like whatever preferences you listed should have a good chance of success. I received several nice comments about this project to share with Gloria Berger. Now comes the fun part of Sal Domino looking at my fancy spreadsheet of responses and the emails to figure out who gets what and how much the shipping is. I didn't hear from anyone who said they would drop by Sal's house, but that option is certainly open. Who knows, Sal might even buy you a refreshment if you pick up the books. It will likely take some time for Sal to have a chance to confirm the proposed distribution to recipients, determine the shipping costs, notify recipients, insert the COA stickers, collect the shipping costs and mail the items. I'll let Sal get back to each of the winners on those matters. Once we know who is getting what, I will prepare COA letters for Gloria Berger to sign with the idea that a separate letter from Gloria goes to each recipient by mail. One OBCer said he was interested in anything that is left. At this point there are still about 40 items needing a home. I would hope that those items could still be spread among OBCers. If you haven't responded yet and still have an interest, let me know. I can send you a list of what is left. You can also tell Sal to just pick out a book or two and mail it to you. Thanks again for adding Sy Berger books to your collections. George Vrechek ================= Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 14:13:08 -0400 To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: Trade Block.

I have been sending out a fair amount of cards of late and I have had a number of guys email me that they have cards that I need but short of condition needs. I don't expect anything in return so my answer is always the same, save them for someone who needs them. But I know myself that if I get something I'd really like to return something that someone needs. So with that I'd like to ask that if anyone does notcare much about condition and on the chance that they have something in very nice condition and I could use the upgrade I'd return the lessor card and thensome. Again, I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way.

The store is only closed two days a year (Thanksgiving and Christmas), so usually it's an opportunity to cash in on some extra overtime and in some cases, double time. I was scheduled off Sunday, Monday AND Wednesday this week. I managed to get a few OT hours in yesterday (at another store) because they have inventory on June 7th, but I couldn't sucker anyone into paying me double time today.   I played some softball both mornings, so I should be pretty sore tomorrow. I also got to spend a couple Father-son hours with Dominic because he called me this afternoon from his Mom's house saying he missed me. After I dropped him back home, I resumed what I had spent most of the day doing: rooting around eBay looking for cards on my list... and cards that weren't on my list.  It went mostly something like this: "H ere's a half dozen 1977 OPC I can use. What else does this seller have? Oh! Some 1975 minis I need and a big group of 1978 OPC I don't." :::add everything to cart::: Later on I found a 1971 Kellogg's variation, plus an overpriced and crappy looking 1968 MB Aaron from Dean's cards. "Hey! If I spend $100, I get ten bucks off and only pay $3 shipping." So despite how unenticing that deal really is and how overpriced Dean's cards usually are, I managed to buy just over the hundred to grab 15 cards off my list: a 1971 Kellogg's variation, all three of those 1964 upgrades I had left, two of the four 1970-71 hockey cards on my list, two of three 1967 Topps football and the rest were all mislabeled Milton Bradley cards (Aaron, Mathews, Dodgers TC and four footballers) Probably not a good deal, even with the discount, but I managed to kill a lot of time.  So now it's time for a nap, then work one day, pick up both kids and have another day off Wed. I think I'll do the laundry after I drop the kids off at school. TAYL, Ken M - of course there will be some idle time waiting for the clothes to dry...
