Tommy John & Jim Roland. Poor Tommy ... he'll always be remembered for "Tommy John Surgery" ... however ... he was a heck of a pitcher ... through 1971 his career ERA was 3.00. Tommy played for some underperforming Chisox teams. Also ... the quiz on the Jim Roland card asks ... "What in baseball is a grass cutter?" The answer ... "A hard fast ground ball". I'd never heard that phrase before. Did Topps just make that up?? Anyway ... thats for the help on the 72T set Shawn!

Joe Denning sends along something old and blue (two Atlantic Oil cards of Jim Bunning and Roger Maris!) and something new (seven cards that cannot be named)! Larry Gersbach sends a 1939 Play Ball that is a real piece of history. The front of Morris Arnovich=92s card indicates that he played for the Phillies, as the owner wrote that in the bottom. Ofcourse, a trade to the Reds means that the old team must be scratched out and the new one added. The best part of this card, however, is that someone wrote in pencil across the middle of the card autograph=85. And then erased it. Fantastic! Greg Henthorn sends 19 BARELY uv football hits, knocking that list by a third. He adds a pretty nice card along for the ride =96 the 1978 Molitor/Trammell RC from 1978, putting my second set of one of my favorites to bed!

Matt Yudt sends a nice group of return fire hits =96 with seventeen big 1971 OPC hits and an amazing thirteen hits for my Hostess sets, including Carew, Carter, Palmer and Fisk Rick Lyons sends two 1975 OPC hits (the 51 MVPS and Don Sutton) and a very nice Johnston Cookies Braves cards from 1954!

From: As my lovely wife and I are getting ready to head out to see my all-time favorite singer/songwriter, Don McLean (with Judy Collins thrown in), the mailman cometh and included a great envelope from Matt Yudt. In it were 4 75 minis, including The Bull, Greg Luzinski, as well as three 1971 OPCers, all higher series cards, with one being my 2nd favorite pitcher growing up--Chris Short (Jim Bunning was first--that perfect game on Father's Day does wonders for an 8 year old). He also included a Cubs team (does anyone know why so many Cubs team cards are just head shots?) and good old Campy Camperneris. Now, if only I could find a way to get Don to sing "On The Amazon" tonight, but I think the odds of that are slightly less than the Phillies winning it all in 2016.

(Long) From: familytoad@comcast.net cards lately!
So many envelopes from you guys (and in-person handshakes from Rick and Dave!)
It's a pleasure to write this thanks !

Ihinted that I got a few flats before I left to go to Seattle for the card show.
Upon my return, they have not stopped coming!

Let's start with the first one on the stack...Greg Henthorn who is blitzing OBC lately!
A stack of 1970 Topps FB from WV!
Thank you Greg!

Taylor sends, you guessed it...a few 1970 Topps FB!
Thanks Taylor, they are a big assist!

Ed Hutchinson send a duo of 1970 Topps FB...nice job Ed!

Jay Tysver mailed a big envelope stuffed with 1970 Topps FB...yes that is correct, not a typo!
Jay is also working on my very fun Dan Pintz project. Jay is very talented!

I opened up an envelope from George V, and yep...1970 Topps FB! Thanks George they fit in!

Ed Schott sent twobig envelopes , overflowing with 1970 Topps FB ! You gotta love when football cards come from Baltimore! Grazi Eddster!

Patrick Prickett over does it by mailing a pair of 1952 Topps. These are baseball and lower my Topps run quest! Star Wars for 52's? omg PP!

Steve Rittenberg mailed awhopper of a package too...Dolphins cards from the 1970's accompanied by the 1964 AL Bombers (Mantle!) and some more 1952 Topps including a well loved Antonelli. I love these cards now! thank you Steve and best wishes as we continue to think of you and Gina!

Jake Elwell went straight to the big guys sending Bob Griese and OJ Simpson from the 1970 Topps FB set, along with 7 more. He hints that we are about the same age, collecting old FB cards in the same era. I am still collecting 1971 Topps FB, now approaching 16 sets...< insert address to looney bin> Thank you Jake !!

Atthe show, Rick and Dave gave a nice recap of the festivities...I will add a little.

It's been a week since I returned but I have finally caught up enough to get the cards together. Rick provided the wonderful Thai lunch on Saturday and a 1953 Bowman B/W and a 51 Bowman high number. I'm getting serious on tackling the Bowmans too! It's such a pleasure to visit with my older brother Rick (that dinosaur has me by 72 hours LOL!)

Dave and Jan overdid the hosting as always , room and board at their house means great conversation, food and cardboard. This year we even had culture by attending a live play on Friday. Those singer/dancer folks are talented!
And sneaky Dave snuck a C46 Imperial Tobacco hit into my old cigar box ..which used to be his box, but he gave me that last June too! Then, he unbelievably bought a 1965 Bob Lemon Seattle Popcorn card he already has, giving it to me! What?!!? He knows I love type card HOFers, and this is a treasure.

My good fortune at the roulette table also allowed me to buy a starter lot of 1910-11 OBAK PCL cards, on house money. I may list those sets too, I have a stack from the old days around here somewhere !
I bet on 19-Yzerman, 20 -Schmidt, 21-Kiick and the newest member of my lucky number club 28- Miss Laura!

So I will end with the tally of 1970 Topps FB cards I received47!

And My Topps 1952-1980 run is now 215! (Maybe I will ramble about this quest :-)

I warned you in the title, it was a long list of thanks from an incredible team!
OBC Forever!
Brian

These cards are really difficult to find at shows any more, and they rarely turn up on eBay. The third is a beautiful 1934 Goudey Baxter Jordan card, literally beautiful from the front, and still beautiful when viewed from the back, which is missing about a quarter of the surface. These are the cards that really matter. They were loved, used, handled, and maybe pasted into a kid's album or onto his bedroom wall. I think it's for that reason that I'll never again purchase a new car; I don't mind the dings and scuffs, which give the car its personality. Same goes for baseball cards. Thanks, Jim! Speaking of way overdue thanks, I need to mention that Mac Wubbin sent me a really, really nice 1934-36 R327 National Chicle Diamond Stars Al Lopez, saying "I love the flying catcher's mask!" which really gives the card a lot of visual appeal. I used to catch in my company's softball league many years ago, just wanted to be involved in every play on the field for the defense. I took it all a lot more seriously than the situation probably deserved. I left it on my desk, looking at it every day, before slipping it into my collection this weekend. Just a beautiful card, much appreciated. Speaking of "a difficult week for me this month," it's not really that difficult compared with all the turmoil in the world, just a "first world problem" that my manager effectively cancelled all the remaining vacation (11 days) I had for this year. I might be able to defer some of it into 2016, but for the rest of the year it looks like I'll be working weekends, Black Friday after Thanksgiving (usually an IBM holiday), and will need to work right up to about 8PM on Christmas Eve - then take the deferred days off in January, when I have literally no plans or need for any vacation at all. Looking forward to retiring soon, or hopefully getting laid off with a separation package, so I can spend more time with my cards and with you Wayne Delia, wayne.m.delia@gmail.com IBM Master Inventor "Baseball isn't a matter of life or death, but the Red Sox are." ================= Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 12:29:28 -0500 To: "" Subject: The Flavors From: ShoelessWes PETER MEAD sends along a very important article and checklist about the 1963 Jell-O examples, which narrows all the players down to the ounce and flavor!

His OBC handshake consisted of a few items he picked up at the show for me which included some quarter '71 OPCs and a '68 MB FB card, as well as a few 10-15 dollar cards for 1 dollar (a '76 Joe Greene and OJ, along with '70 3D Don Maynard). Some great and much appreciated cards. Thanks Doug! Other than that, I didn't pickup much at the show, though I did finish my '70 Kelloggs upgrade with a Boog Powell, and found a $3 MB Gaylord Perry anda $2 MB Daryle Lamonica, along with a '74 Jim Otto blank back. But I had agreat time bird-dogging for Doug, introducing or re-introducing him to Larrie Dean, Chandy Greenholdt, and Kurt Turdot as well as few good local dealars. It was fun chatting about almost EVERYTHING we collect as it was a card and toy show combination. I know Doug found a few good deals, except for the '70 Lou Brock that I got him to overpay for, which we found cheaper a few dealers later. Hope he can forgive me for that one.

Taylor greeted me with the traditional OBC handshake - a pair of 61 Topps, a pair of 63s, a 64 and a huge hit to my dwindling 56 Topps list in the form of Enos Slaughter. Taylor proceeded to introduce me to a number of dealers (they certainly allknew him!) and we started to hit Kurt Tourdots table. I got a number of hits to some keys sets I am getting close to completing. We walked the entire place, checking out all the cards, comics, and toys on display. Taylor seemed to know my wantlist better than i did, and was great bird dogging! Went back to Kurt's table about the time Taylor headed out. I picked out a large stack of cards out of the $.50 box, including a number of 53, 54, and 55 Topps and a number of 53 Color Bowmans. I also found a huge stack of 1971 Topps Football Game inserts, and when added to some I had picked up earlier in the day I have over 75% of that set. Earlier I had picked up the Namath, Starr and Simpson for a buck each. Picked up a stack of 66 semi highs for a quarter a piece from Chandy. During a third trip back to Kurt's table I picked up the second year cards of Kaline and Banks, and the Banks Rookie card! The Banks RC put me over my available cash, but Kurt didn't hesitate to tell me to take it and mail him a check for the difference. All based on the reputation of fellow OBCers! It was great. The Banks rookie was the card highlight, but getting to meet Taylor and hang around the show was the show highlight.

Good times. I sorted my cards into teams, cutting up all those league leaders and rookie cards. But one card that always stands out in my mind is that Minton card.

What I find interesting is that Larry didn't turn 26 until June of 1957. That means that someone actually held on to his cards into the next year, and was actively looking at them--neat. He also included 3 "unaged" gray backs. I'm still trying to figure out why I decided to embark on the path to collect the white and gray backs--wasn't one 1956 Williams enough??
