Huge hit with #90 Burgess Whitehead. I don't finish sets often these days - and certainly not a set from the 1940s! Awesome! Just Awesome!Oh, and to give the scouting report on this set. IF you are willing to collect the cards cut in half; about $2-3 per common, and HOFers vary pretty widely. Some go for little more than a common, other are pretty expensive (the 2 Ted Williams and the Joe dimaggio I expected to set you back at least $50 each - possibly more). (I had a large starter set - about 2/3rd that I was trying to sell ing Ebay with 1 of the Teds. It will probably be posted up there again at some point.) IF you hold out for uncut cards ... good luck!

State victory over L.S.U. by sending me a very nice `52 Topps card of Hank Sauer =E2=93 Red Back, a John Player Tobacco card =E2=93 some coat of arms or something and a shiny card with Nap Lajoie.

We were closing on our house the following Monday and mortgage guy called and said we needed another $2,000 to close. Our protest that he already had all our money fell on deaf ears. So, I called up Mike a Wheat and on Saturday my wife and I drove to Pittsburgh and sold $2,000 worth of cards to him in his kitchen, including my Red Backset.

Mark Talbot hits the T218 set with Albert Cutler a pool player and a 54 Bowman of Don Larsen. Sam Taylor dropped off four of the cut in half Double Plays including Harland Clift. Sam also hosted an excellent pizza and wings get together following the show. Wes Shepard chips in a Moose Fischer from the 48 Bowman Football set. Tom Housley hits the 52 Topps set with Charley Silvera who had the best job in baseball as Yogi's backup. I imagine Charley playing once or twice a week and cashing lots of world series checks. John McLaughlin dropped off a 33 Goudey and a Mud Hens schedule. Joe Denning hits the 61 Post set and the Atlantic Oil set with Santo and McCormick. Mike Rich knocks the card exchange pinata wide open completing three sets including the 1948 Kellogs Pep, the 72 Sunoco Football Stamps and the 72 Topps Football pinups.

Geno sends a needed 1911 T205 Robert Ewing with a Polar Bear back, slabbed in an SGC holder. As you may or may not know Geno was one of my inspirations for collecting this set (along with Josh L). I had a chance to see Geno's collection, and how nice these cards look in SGC holders, so I am collecting this set slabbed in SCG holders. Adding this card to my collection involves two extra steps: #1 scan the card #2 add it to my SGC Registry where I am now at 77% completed. Thank You Very Much!

Between the cards I bought and the cards that were given to me I came away with a pretty good haul. My main goal was to focus on my 1965 Topps set which stood at 14 left to go and the embossed with 2. I cut them both in half with 7 left from the regular set and 1 more embossed: #58 Ernie Banks. Of course seeing old and new friends is always the best part. My wife and I arrived on Friday with plans to visit with our son Jason who lives in Cleveland. Since Jason wouldn't be getting off work for a couple hours, I had a chance to catch a little show time. That's when I found Sam Taylor. Sam's handshake came with an envelope with 8 cards from the '62 Topps set including a high # Norm Cash AS, plus 4 '63 Topps. Thanks Sam, sorry we couldn't make it to the after show gathering at your place. Saturday was the main event, with fellow Fraternal Order Of Tiger fans (aka FOOT) arriving around noon. I happened upon Mark Talbot first. Mark's handshake always comes with some very interesting and creative stuff and he didn't disappoint this time either. Mark handed me a cool Tiger logo for my car window, a nice 4x6 photo of Mantle/Aaron, an oversized postcard with the 1934 Tigers Infield of Dreams, a 2015 Tiger Schedule and 10 1960 Topps. Next came Mike Rich who was busy hunting down some cardboard treasures so we had a brief chat and he tracked me down a few minutes later with an even dozen 1973 Topps all from the nose bleed section including a Yankees Team card. Ron Perry was also busy delving into a bargain box when I found him. I'm sure that box was drained of any treasures when he was done. Ron's handshake included a 1959 Topps hi number card of Fred Haney. Thanks Mark, Mike and Ron. Wes Shepard and his son Nolan were next. Wes handed me one each from '60, '61, '62, '71 and '73. Thanks Wes. I had a senior moment there when I couldn't find your cards in my bag and I thought I must have lost them By now things start getting a little scrambled. Joe Denning gave me three 1963 topps including F Robinson. Ed Hutchinson handed me 3 1960 and 2 '71 hi number cards... I think? That could be the other way around, but in any case, much appreciated, thanks guys. I also had the pleasure of meeting Joe's lovely wife, LaShelle. It took a little looking around but I finally found Tom Housley. Tom's handshake came with two '59, a '61 and a 1971 Topps. Thanks Tom. It was a great time and nice to see old friends and make a couple new ones.

From: Jimi Thayer Thanks for a great week so far from OBCers. Again, I hope to regain my ultra-addiction to cardboard soon, but I have been crazy busy with life right now. Livin' the dream! :) I got the coolest package on Monday, and something I've never experienced before in my roughly 14 years of online trading. SAM TAYLOR sent along a package to me, but it wasn't just from him. Included was a smaller package from MARK TALBOT and another from MIKE RICH inside the bigger package! Why you say? I thought I was going to Strongsville originally for the big show, but had to cancel once the soccer schedule came out. So, these great guys lumped together and sent a nice group-RAOK that consisted of '64T Giants,some HOFers, and some hockey cards! Thanks, guys! THEN....another similar package arrived just a few minutes ago from JOHN McLAUGHLIN with a similar message, saying that the guys consolidated the packages. SO, I think John and maybe some others' cards are included in this package. Regardless, what a great group of cards! Some 1956 Topps, 1951 Topps Red Back, and a 1959 Topps as well! STEVE HITZEMAN joins in as well with a few 1957 Topps and a smattering from1958 to 1961! These cards will fit in great, Steve! Finally, new guy, GREG HENTHORN passes along one of the strangest boxes I've ever received (not the cards, but the actual box!) lol I even witnessedthe mail lady putting this into my mailbox and pausing to take a look at the box! Ha! Great cards inside though, as he sent a few to my HOF collection and a bunch of 1975 Topps cards! Great stuff, gentlemen!!
