It's Bob D. Actually, today was worse than a nothing day. I'm suffering through a toothache that will lead to a root canal--but only after the swelling goes down and the pain subsides, as well as having to tell a basketball team that won a tournament game by 30 points that it had to forfeit (they used an illegal player). Not a great day, but Bob comes through with a great 56 Pee Wee card, slightly smaller than normal, but that is very befitting for a guy named Pee Wee! Really brightened my day--many thanks Bob.

A nice problem to have to be quite honest. :-) Anyway, LARRY TIPTON sent over a nice TCP of 1961 Post including a Duke Snider! Awesome Guru!! Thank you so much, I always like getting Post hits. I'll see what cards of yours somehow found their way into my dupes box out here. SPIKE GLIDDEN also sent me a TCP, this time of 1955 Topps. I always thought the 1954, 1955 and 1956 sets were such nice looking sets with the two images and bright colors on each card. Thanks a lot Matt!!! And then BOB DONALDSON the 3 for 3 with a TCP of 1969 Topps hits. Oh, and there was a stowaway with Bob's TCP in the form of a 1973 Topps Johnny Callison # 535 Hi Number hit!!

Today, first envelope is from STEVE SANKNER, who sent a 1959 Dodgers team checklist card, and some UV goodies of some of my favorite players. Nice hits, Steve! I'll see what I can find to return the favor. Second today, BOB DONALDSON sends a Yankee DCP, a 1956 Topps Irv Noren (some disgruntled Washington Senator fan penciled in a mustache and beard!), and a 1957 of Al Cicotte #398. Fun cards, thanks Bob! Two thank you mentions I think I neglected are for JAY TYSVER, who sent in 3 nice 1961 Posties, and EEK!

Pretty psyched to finally have one of these, they're pretty hard to come by at reasonable prices. Mike Glasser let me scour his dupes box, I came away with a stack of 62's, a 67, and 3 tough psycho hits. Mike also treated us to a non sport education and tossed 11 Fonzie cards at me on his way out the door after I professed my childhood love of the Fonz. Looks like a Happy Days set may be coming to my want list! Steve Rittenburg knew I was doing the 62's and took the first step to try to indoctrinate me into the cult of green tints sending me home with a pair. I'm expecting literature in the mail explaining the benefits of collecting these! Mac Wubben handed over 6 54 Bowman's including Nellie Fox. And in the mail recently, Bob Bannon sends a pair of 53 nosebleeds, wow really nice anytime I get to cross one of these off the list! Andy Cook sends a 73 Topps SCP. Mike Rich sends a 62 and 2 more 73's. Getting pretty close on the 73's, probably be able to close that one out this year. The Guru sends an SCP from 1965, the Glenn Beckert cubs rookies nosebleed. Have an outside shot at closing this out this year as well! And in yesterday's mail Bob Donaldson sends 4 sharp Yankee psychos, ironic considering we're both Sox fans but these hits are getting tough so I'm happy to have them!

That's highly unlikely, since OBC wasn't even formed until 1991 and I didn't join until 1994. What I was most likely thinking of was a mid- to late-1990's Willow Grove (or Ft. Washington) Philly show where I met up with him and a bunch of other OBC old-timer's like Jim Montgomery, David Kolenda, Steve Rittenberg, Ken Morganti, and Howard Miller. Guru sends a beautiful 1959 Topps #467, "Aaron Clubs World Series Homer" action shot. Did I mention it's beautiful - gently rounded corners, minor scuffing, a very slight crease. This is a perfect condition card, in my view, and it's very much appreciated. Also in the mail in the past week or 10 days (Yipes! I'm behind on my thanks!) are three Topps 1963 pitchers - Ryne Duren, Jack Hamilton, and Frank Lary. Despite being 54 years old, these cards look like they were taken out of the pack 54 minutes ago. Really sharp, vibrant colors even for an otherwise drab, dull set, and certainly needed on my want list.

First, Bob Bannon sends a pair of Nu Card Scoops including the Pee Wee Reese -- great cards! Haven't cross off any of those for a while and it felt good. Second, another pair of hits came from Donnie Barnett -- extra sharp 72 hits including the Reds TC and a high number! Much appreciated. Saturday I went to the show in Hickory, arriving a few minutes before they opened the door. Before I could even pay to get in Taylor hits me with a pair of nice 58 Topps including Bobby Richardson. Awesome. Then in the show he finds a 68 MB Oliva for me -- wow! Thanks. Jake "The Kid" passed on a Puckett Starting Line Up figurine, which was really cool. Thanks to all of you! As fa as the show went, I got some great deals including a nice find at a table Taylor pointed me to. The guy only had a few cards in a box and a bunch of toys, but I found a 64 Berra in Ex condition, a 66 Aaron that would be nice but for a coffee cup stain, a 62 Kaline with writing on the back, and 64 Banks, and a needed 64 League Leader card featuring Koufax in Vg+ shape, all for $12. I spent most of my limited time though going through Chandy's dime boxes (quarter boxes technically but if you bought 200 or more they became dime boxes). I ended up with 300 cards including a 1960 Leaf Wilhelm in Ex condition, a few early 50s football, a lot of odd balls including 1960 Fleers, Post, etc, stacks of 65, 66, 67, 68 and 69 Topps baseball, I know nothing about basketball but picked up some names I recognized - Maravich, Frazier, Walton, etc. Turned out a number of them book in the $8-12 range and are in reasonable shape. Took forever getting it all organized, and I am embarrassed by how many upgrades I made on my 60's baseball sets out of a dime box!! LOL. ================= Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 01:15:48 +0000 (UTC) To: OBC Thanks Subject: Guru hits From: Rob Bessette Guru sends the 1969 Topps Rodriquez variations.

Unexpectedly included was a super Cardinal pin with a red-white-blue ribbon. I've no idea how lod it is, but the ribbon is kinda faded and has stains from the rust on the pin. Which makes it look old and also quiteawesome. Thanks for the pleasant surprise, Jake! JIMI THAYER sent a 1972 Fleer Baseball's Famous Feats card of Dazzy Vance. The Fleer collection is still growing, thanks to cards like this. Thanks, Jimi! TJ VALACAK sent me a small flat rate box full of early UV stuff, and I found a 1957 Topps Ossie Virgil included.

Our resident chef whipped up a batch of hits to my lists, cutting a few of them in half. There was a 1977 glossy and 1978 OPC that left both lists at one remaining. a couple 1977-78 hockey team cards for my $10 set. There were a few 1975 mins and it was garnished with a 1977 OPC LL card featuring "The Bird". THANKS ANT!!   Today's mail brought two envelopes answering my call for 1968 Topps low numbers. I had pulled the Milton Bradleys out of my 'complete' set and left a few holes that have quickly all been refilled. RICHARD DINGMAN found three of them including one of the checklist variations. THA NKS RICHARD!!   Also quick to the PO was SAM TAYLOR, who sent an SCP Woodie for my 1968 set. Relax everyone, it's Woodie Fryman, not an obscure unlisted variation off of the 1962 set.

That is if you can call 20+ sets a side project??

Idon't know about these Barker/Burdick type collector levels but I might be hitting it with a single 263 card set . I realize that's not the intention, but maybe I can get an asterisk....<insert Chris Rock voice> can a brother get an asterisk, just one little asterisk ?

Ok, so time to thank OBC buddy Mark Zentkovich for another great offering. 5 cards , with HOF kicker Jan Stenerud, star but not HOF QB JohnBrodie, same statusfor Daryle Lamonica, a checklist which is admittedly part of the set despite me hating getting them in my packs as a kid...like them now. And the disgraceful OJSimpson was a true set killler. Not a bad pun I guess...OJ fillsset 13. I cannot believe I want/need at least 7 more of this doofus, but aset is a set!

Thanks Mark! You've been a tremendous help to this insane quest. Even after having hundreds, naw thousands of these cards I still LOVe getting more!

From: familytoad@comcast.net Thayer this week.
It contains a large ( ~78 cards) starter set of my next set to chase, and first hockey set listed. 1973-74 Topps were a fixture of my youth, I remember them well! I want to rebuild that set. I think low grade, off center would be the most fun, as that's a infamous set for poor centered cards. The ones Jimi sent were mostly nicer than I remember collecting, but I love em!
Jimi kept this envelope alive despite sending another 71 Topps FB OJ Simpson and a few other hits to that set. The best part of the that set is for me...every card is a hit!
Not content there, also included was a very nice 63 T mcCovey! A main list set hit is tough to come anymore, this one is huge.

Jimi, I didn't make it home any day this week in time to hit the outgoing post office desk for your part of theswap. I will get it out on Monday! If you like your part half as well, I'dfeel better LoLoL

OBC Forever

Cade and I swapped some cards and I was able to snag four 58s, 5 53 Topps, and to upgrade about ten 56s. He picked up hits for his 54 Topps set. We talked a lot about cards and collecting, as Cade hasn't been at it too long. He still is showing signs of allergic reactions to off grade cards, but others have been cured of that in the past.

I'm looking forward to spending a few hours at The Scottish Golf Show at the Exhibition Centre here later today, but first a couple of well deserved thank yous. Andy Cook sends a very nice SCP in the form of a 1960 Leaf Clem Labine. I picked up a small starter set of these while in Colorado last year and I think I'm right in saying that this is the first OBC action on it. It's also instantly the best condition card in the set!! Gord Ellis and I worked out a little bit of an open ended trade recently. Isent Gord some '58T and in return he said he'd fire back some OPC hockey from my list. They arrived today and I'm VERY pleased to find that they are of the 1968/69 variety - probably my favorite hockey set. 19 cards add up to a big dent in what is still a pretty large wantlist, moving me from 31% to 40% complete. I've got to say that I think I came out on the better end of this trade. Thanks for your generosity, Gord!! Thanks to both of you fine gentlemen for getting my weekend off to a good start!

Thanks to the following: Jim Craig connects for "March Madness Month" and I suppose a "Fleer February" hold over with a SCP from the `61-62 Fleer Basketball set with Piston forward Bailey Howell. This set is rarely hit and it was certainly a pleasure to knock this one off the list - Thanks Jim!!! Bob D'Angelo keeps me flush in TIGER cards but I will have to describe themon the other server - still every card received deserves thanks so I thankyou my old friend. Peter Mead continues "the never ending trade" with a tough `50-54 Callahan card of Harry Wright which was presented within a `76-77 OPC Hockey sandwich of (2) HI number cards. Tasty items that are certainly savored here in SE Michigan - Thanks so much Peter!!! Jimi Thayer sends me a "trade request waiver" in the form of a group of cards that I will have to give more details on on the other server. Still I would like to bring up the name of Linda Fitak who has been brought up lately because prior to Jimi's mailing I had received my starter on this unmentionable set from her as she would send a few of these cards featuring HOF players with her mailings (I had about 30 of them). So thanks to Jimi and Linda!!! Jimi Thayer sent another small envelope with (2) more unmentionable cards about a week following the first - Thanks again Jimi!!! Larry "Guru" Tipton completes the incoming mail with a trio of `50 Topps Freedom's War Tank cut-out cards, I think these are hard to come by. Guru also includes a card from the `54 Topps Who-Z-At Star set of The Nelson's made famous from the Ozzie and Harriet show of 50's TV lore. It's always niceto peck away at these non-sport sets from the `50's - I really enjoy them,so thanks Larry!!! With the NCAA tourney and the fact that my teams have done so poorly I have been "forced" to get some cardboard out in the mail so I have felt a bit better about this set of thanks since I know I've gotten some return fire into the mail. I do hope to get more out there to more properly thank all this generosity. Thanks to all the fine traders in this group - BE WELL!!!!

From: Geno Wagner Fellas -- It's not often that a card from my list shows up unannounced to 4 Sand Cherry. It might happen about 3-4 times a year. So when I saw Taylor Schock's envelope in my stack of mail today, I was hoping that today might be one of those days. You see, my NCAA teams decimated Taylor's teams in the first round, to the tune of three victories, versus one defeat. I spent the day skiing, then had to rush home to get dinner going, sothe envelope sat to the side until I could appreciate it during the simmercycle of dinner. Well, to say I was a bit surprised is the understatement of the year, as three T205 Sovereigns popped out of that envelope...hello!!! Yes, a Crandall, Daubert, and Sharpe...are you kidding me?!? Three cards from my list in one envelope? I'm stunned...even more stunned than the subsequent inability of the Blackhawks to hold a 4-1 lead in the 2nd period. I know I don't have the Sharpe at all (and he was nice!), and the other two may or may not be upgrades to my master set, but they are certainly going in my Sovereign collection!

From: Wayne Delia Grant sent me some really nice cards from Topps 1958 and 1959, with a reasonable order for me to "Gotta Love The 50's" - no problem with that. Accompanying a '58 Dick Drott, and '59 Ted Lepcio and Dick Tomanek, were three more cards that Grant had no way of knowing were among my favorite cards or players. First up is a tough 1958 Eddie Mathews All Star, who ended up on my beloved 1968 World Champion Detroit Tigers team. Next is a 1959 Steve Boros, an otherwise nondescript player who happens to be a fraternity brother of mine in Phi Kappa Sigma. Last up is the 1959 Lou Burdette uncorrected double-error card, on which Lew's first name is misspelled, and he's getting ready to throw an (apparently missing) baseball with his left hand, which (until Pat Venditte hit the majors recently) is quite unusual for a right-handed pitcher. All are needed, appreciated, and enjoyed.

I had sent him 9 1975 OPChees before which would seem like we are going around in circles, yet we are both making progress. That's the way it works in OBC-land. DAN ANGLAND'S waiver wire was 75 Sportscaster cards plus some supplementary cards to the set. Great reading of the 1977 sports era with East Germans, Russians and no hint of doping yet but comments about the bulky women competitors. Mike Glasser sent me 19 Sportscasters in mid-2016. It turns out the cards were also from the early runs of this huge set. However, Mike's cards were "Printed in Italy" and Dan's were "Printed in Japan."

He delivers to me a black back of 1952 Topps Gil Hodges in wonderful shape. This is a true gem and one of my favorite cards in my collection. It features a youthful Hodges with the iconic Brooklyn Dodgers cap against a solid peach-colored background. For good measure, Trip includes a 1957 Foster Castleman and a 1954 Topps Bob Cain. The Cain card was very popular in my house; my youngest daughter, Audra, takes a particular liking to the old A's cards - elephants are her favorite animal, and the card features a large rendition of an elephant in full stride. The card's solid background is yellow (her favorite color), and Bob Cain's hat has an "A" on it (the first initial in my daughter's name). I think the card is cool because it is a little off center and I can see partial letters that tell me that Jim Hughes' card was just above this one on the uncut sheet. I'm still trying to catch up with Trip for all the great cards he has sent me, including the majority of my 1968 Topps collection. Oh well! Thanks Trip!!
