Tickets, schedules, pins, magnets, etc. It was neat going through everything. Peter also sent some company; a 1950 Bowman Howie Fox and a 1973 Rookie Catcher card whose previous owner must have been a George Pena fan; the other two players on the cardwere crossed out. Thanks Peter! Lynn Miller sends my auction winnings of a couple of Pirates from the 1975 SSPC set. Along for the ride were hits to some second sets. Four from 1973, two from 1976 including Lou Gehrig, and the 1974 MVP winners from 1975. Also BOB Coluccio for my "Name". Thanks Lynn! The last auction item was from Kent Goto. He offered up a T206 Kisinger card in multiple pieces. Amazingly all 5 pieces of the card were still together after all these years. My daughter helped me assemble the "puzzle" anda little scotch tape made the card "whole" once again. Thanks Kent! Dan Austin helps out the 1973 second set with seven cards including the original A-Rod...Aurelio Rodriguez. Thanks Dan! Rick Lyons completes of trade by sending me a 1954 Bowman Gil Hodges, a 1966 Jim Wynn ruboff, 1964 coin, and a couple from the 1963 birth year quest.....a Bazooka all time great of Pete Alexander and a Salada coin of Ken Boyer. Thanks Rick! Ed Yudt helps me cross off 4 from the 1975 mini set leaving me with a baker's dozen. Each card featured a HOFer, Reggie on a W.S. card, Schmidt and Brock on leader cards, and the regular card of Carlton Fisk. Ed also included three for a couple of my 1970's second sets including a 1973 Mickey Lolich where he averaged over 350 innings pitched the previous two years. It's now been over 30 years since a pitcher has thrown at least 300 innings in aseason. Thanks Ed! Thanks guys! Not only am I behind in thanking people but I'm also behind in sending stuff out. I still owe people from the NCAA tournament. Hopefully I'll get some packages out this weekend.

With these hits my 51-80 run is down to needing 3079 cards. I am on a push to get it down to < 3000 cards. Matt pointed out that my math maybe wrong because the 70T was not included on my 70-79 count (need 2). That is because the 70T is my second set. Is this consistent with how everyone else counted? Matt also laughed about last weeks thank you posting where someone used theline =E2=9CMr. Holland=E2=99s Otis=E2=9D. He wanted to send me an Otis but only found an Ennis.

Hi Rob, I would guess they are printers scraps. They are talked about every now on then on the net54 pre-war board regarding T206 and carry a premium sometimes. I sold one for $300-400, which would normally have been a $20-30 card I've one from 1971, which is printed in just black ink, and a couple from 1972 which are only using certain ink colors. I believe they used them to test printing registration of the different colors.

Here is a question I sent out yesterday and Got no responses......Does anyone know the answer? can anyone help us on these cards? listed below is the original post Hey all, Today I took my son Tony to a baseball card show he actually got some awesome deals...he bought 100 beater 50s topps & bowman and 63 topps for $8.00...the kid has a gift...after we got home i looked at 4 cards he had and they were 1965 topps, my question was THEY HAVE a blank back...are the reprints? did topps make errors like this? has anyone ever seen/heard of these? I mean the cards are nobodies so why reprint them? Ron Hunt, Don Schwall and Ryne Duren......any help would be great... Oh yeah I bought my son Tony his VERY First Mickey Mantle......Well he has the 55 bowman but doesnt know it...LOL....I bought him the 58 Topps All Star Mantle...It is one of my favorite mantles and He saw it and FELL in love with it.

The cards are nothing short of amazing, jaw-dropping, mind boggling (well, you get the idea). I received a total of 97 Japanese baseball cards. They were mostly vintage and contained many HOF'ers including one of Sadaharu Oh, and several different types of cards. A brief summary: 1948 - 10 cards 1949 - 3 1950 - 3 1951 - 1 1952 - 4 1957 - 1 1958 - 3 1959 - 5 1960 - 4 1961 - 1 1962 - 2 1964 - 1 1970's - 25 cards 1980's - 8 1990's - 14 2000's - 11 Unknown, but looks like the late 40's to me: 1 card Plus one Banzai Babe Ruth card with a terrific vintage look to it. As I told Rob, I have many enjoyable hours ahead of me learning more about these amazing cards and the stories of some of the players. Rob took the time to identify nearly every cards which gives me a big head start in my education. It is clear to me that Rob went well above the call of duty in assembling this wonderful package of cards which are surely worth several times what I paid for them in the auction. His generosity is overwhelming and is a tribute to his passion for Japanese baseball cards. Thanks Rob, you have a new fan of Japanese baseball. I look forward to learning more about the history. In the auction listing, Rob promised to "knock the socks off" of whoever won the auction.

The first, from Wes Shepherd, had a 1962T NL home run leaders card in it. The card was an all-time great with the disembodied heads of Willie, Frank, and Orlando floating above the wood. Thanks Wes--what a great card! Randy Welk also sent along a five-pack of cards from less often hit sets. There were two 1960 T's (including a well-loved Dodger team card and a Mudcat Grant that may have belonged to a jail inmate since it has lots of little hash marks on the side counting something or other). There was also one each from 1958, 1961, and 1963. Thanks a bunch Randy!

Unfortunately, not THAT Markie Post, of "Night Court" fame (and that's no Bull) - but actually a pair of Markie's Posts. Thanks to MARK HOLLAND for nice surprise DCP of birth year (1962) Posties. Many thanks Mark! And props to those who got the OTHER Night Court reference above :-) (Of course if anyone wants to send the REAL Markie Post my way it would be the best SCP I could ever get.) ================= Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 00:19:34 -0000 To: OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com From: "ecexpress1" Subject: 3 to thank today The last week or so has brought a bunch of goodies to Western Wisconsin. First off, KEN "CAPTAIN" MORGANTI sends the essential accessory for summer ballpark wear--the official OBC cap. I had wondered how I could go about obtaining one. Wonder no longer. I'll pair it with the pin from Glenn and wear it proudly. Oh, what's this? There's more in the envelope? Yeah, you could say that. Four major hits each to the 1970 and 1972 ATG Kelloggs sets. Names you may have heard of include Gibson, Brock, Speaker, and some Ruth lady. Amazing, amazing envelope that I can't thank you enough for. A day or so later, an envelope arrived from a prospective OBC Member, JAKE ELWELL. Jake and I worked out a trade and if he thought he could bribe me to become an OBC Member, he was 100% correct. He sent way more my way thanI sent him, despite my stern warnings to not do it. Included in this envelope was a wide range of goodness, including a Robin Roberts exhibit card, several hits to the Hostess sets, Topps issues from 62 through 70, an autographed card of Seattle Pilot Phil Roof, and a handful of hits to the tough 74 Pioneers of Baseball set. Great stuff--hope Jake becomes an OBC member sooner rather than later. Last, but certainly not least, my good OBC friend RANDY WELK sents a great treat of 66T, including Juan Pizarro (former Milwaukee Brave from the championship season of 57) and the AL Batting Leaders card featuring Oliva, Yaz,and Vic Davalillo. Though I only started following baseball in the late 70s, one of my earliest card memories was getting a card of Vic and instantly becoming a fan. I have no idea why. So, one summer anyway, when my brother would pitch a whiffle ball to me, he would be Jim Slaton and I would beVic Davalillo. Actually, I was mainly Joe Adcock, but Vic would pinch hit. Kind of a weird kid. Thank you so much, fellows. I am honored to be a part of the OBC family. ================= Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 21:26:41 -0400 (EDT) To: directorth@aol.com, OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com From: LUURSCJG@aol.com Subject: Re: [OBC-Thanks] Look - it's Markie Post!

JD (John Dahms) returns fire after I was trying to return fire on him...this time TWO HOFers ride west in the form of 1969 Brock & Carew. Check these odd facts from the back...as you know 1968 was the "year of the pitcher". AL hurlers kept the young Carew to a measly .273 average, which was a lot worse than his usual...but still good for 11th place in the league.Underrated Lou Brock only managed .279 in the NL but backed it up with 46 doubles and 14 triples to go with his 62 steals...that's a weapon, folks! Thank you JD for the awesome cards! Nick Pelletier welcomed me to OBC with a great SCP! Wait...I've been here 15 years now, I think I was supposed to welcome HIM !!!!! Nick apologizes for having only one hit...nope, not when its 1958 Catcher Red Wilson !!

It's where Hank Aaron began his pro career. St. Cloud was another team in that league and Christopherson stocks my collection with two 1960s,a '64, two '65s, a '67 and nine '68s. My favoritecard is a '68 Orlando Cepeda, member of the 1956 St. Cloud Rox of the Northern League. Thanks Jason. Thank you OBC.
