Eleven more 75 minis for my all-OBC (so far) set. This included one of my favorite players growing up--Rick Wise, the only person ever to pitch a no-hitter while hitting TWO homers in the same game. I was devastated when the Phillies traded him for some guy named Carlton (I eventually got over it!). Joe also included a 1971 scratch off of Boog Powell, a truly great guy. If you ever get a chance to go to Camden Yards, make sure you stop over and see him if he's there (I believe he usually is).

From: Jerry Coker Thanks to Greg Henthorn for a six pack of cards including a 59T and (5) 60T's. In Greg's note he commented about the 59T #401 Ron Blackburn ...Blackburn ... a pitcher ... is winding up ... and wearing a helmet! Thought I'd look thru my 59T's this weekend to see if there are any other pitchers wearing a helmet in 1959 :-) Also ... I wonder if Ron had an artistic bent as his card signature looks cool with a rather ornate capital "R" and "B". The cartoon on the back is almost sadistic too. It shows Ron holding a Braves scalp ... with the word "scalp" and an arrow pointing to the scalp in the drawing ... in case you weren't sure what he was holding ... (man I love the cartoons :-) Finally ... it says that Ron appeared in 36 games as a reliever in 1958. That sounded high to me for 1958 (my birth year) so I checked Retrosheet and see that Don Elston led MLB with 69 appearances. And Ron'steammate Elroy Face appeared in 57 games ... finished 40 of them ... and saved 20 which lead MLB in1958. Always cool to read the backs of vintage cardboard! Anyway ... thanks for the great cards Greg! Have a great weekend!! Thanks OBC!!!

From: James Silva Well that started out wrong! Let me explain. I just returned from my one-year-delayed honeymoon to find several envelopes with various collectibles featuring prominent players of baseball. From Greg Henthorn a variety pack - =E2=9971, =E2=9961, and =E2=9966 Topps singles including a Lou Brock (the =E2=9966). Man that guy could rake and run! Thanks, Greg! From Mike Galbreath a pair of =E2=9961 Toppss lovelies including Steve Boros who I remember as a manager, not a player. I liked him as the manager of the A=E2=99s - always seemed like a level-headed, smart baseball man.Thanks, From John Scott Gray a pair of =E2=9954 Topps including Hank Sauer who averaged 30 homers a year from =E2=9949 to =E2=9954 according to the back of the card. That=E2=99s pretty mighty. He has mostly flown under myradar probably because he was a Cubbie for a good chunk of his career. Nothing against the Cubs - just grew up an AL guy who also paid attention to the NL West because of the California teams. Thanks, JSG! And from Joe Denning another variety pack including a =E2=9954 of Bob Turley, a =E2=9971 coin of Cito Gaston, a =E2=9971 card of Gaylord Perry, and a =E2=9973 card pf Bob Didier. Man, Perry was a force for the Giants with a string of sub-three ERA=E2=99s. Thanks, Joe! Great cards, gents! Much appreciated. Very nice to come home to after an amazing 3 weeks of travel!

As always Taylor had some cards to share. He jump started my '57T set and added a '54T. Always like to get those. Then Taylor and I checked out the dealers for some vintage deals. It didn't take long to realize that Kurt Toudot had the best deals to be found. So I spent at least an hour going thru his plastic tub of goodies. Since Taylor jump started the 57s I pulled a few of those. Kurt said I have some OBC beaters in here if you need these. He pulled out a 58T Ted Williams and said here is a 5% card. So for $30 I picked up the #1 card from the 58T set, plus it is my first Ted Williams card as a player. Then he pulled out the Teddy Ballgame All-Star card and said $20, then a 55B Mays and it just kept going. When I handed him the stack he said $115. I didn't do any math but I think Kurt was clearly using his OBC math. I ended up with 44 cards from the 50s from Kurt. Then Chandy had some 71 Topps Coins that I needed for a $1 each so I grabbed 7 of those plus a 68T high number from him. It was another great day in Raleigh spending time with family and friends.

And Bob Corvello chipped in with a 1962 Post of Gino Cimoli as well as four 1971 Topps, including Cesar Cedeno and Bill Russell. Much appreciated, Jake and Bob. I knew of Pepper Martin through his play with the Gas House Gang. And I ran across him again while simming some memorial games for deceased players who performed in the Florida International League. I particularly enjoyed the following about Martin, from the SABR article: "The Great 1952 Florida International League Pennant Race," [http://sabr.org/research/great-1952-florida-international-league-pennant-race]: "Two of Martin=E2=99s incidents in particular stood out. In Havana on August 26, 1949, in the midst of the pennant race, the petulant Martin got into a heated exchange with umpire Clem Camia and grabbed him by the throat with both hands. Martin expressed to the press that he thought Camia was being unfair to his team. The game was forfeited to the Cubans and the former =E2=9CGas House Gang=E2=9D leader was fined$100 suspended for the remainder of the season. In August of 1951, the FIL fined Martin again, this time for $25, for hopping a chain link fence during the seventh inning of game against Lakeland and punching a fan. Although Martin was none too popular with the men in blue, his likable nature, down-home charm, and ability to relate to the fans made him popular throughout the FIL." I don't think I would have wanted to be that fan or Umpire Clem, for that matter. And interesting is that claim of his ability to relate to the fans given his punch-out of one of them. Fan probably had it ================= To: Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:45:16 -0500 Subject: Thanks to BOB CORVELLO From: "George Vrechek" Who sends 3 OPeeChees with two Darrell Porters via the waiver wire.

So, the result is that I have been very remiss in some thanks. For that I apologize, and I am late getting out some over due envelopes to some fine gentlemen.

Frank Robinson was a beast! He was a rookie in 1956 and was still producing in 1974! He is one of those players that flew under my radar until Ilooked up his stats on Retrosheet. Most of what I'd heard about him was his fierce competitiveness ... and temper. He's right up there near Willie and Aaron in my book. Thank you Matt! Sal Domino ... who sends along ... in honor of Bill Rainsley ... three 72T's including NY Met pitcher Danny Frisella. I remember Danny from my Strat-O-Matic days :-) It looks like he was on the Amazing Mets in 1969 ... but not on their Pennant/World Series roster. Maybe he was a September call-up? And the Mets are back in the post season! I guess I'd rather see them than the Nats. I think the Nats were picked to win it all this year ... on paper.But man ... my Braves were a mess in 2015 :-( Anyway ... I look forward to seeing how that young NY pitching staff performs under pressure. If it's like the 69 post season staff ... lookout! Thanks Sal!

Tom left me with a five-pack of 59s, a sweet '61 upgrade Red Soxteam and a nifty pair of Footballers -- a 70 Jim Otto and a 55 All American. Excellent cardboard and even more excellent meet-up.
