From: wmcashton@aol.com ================= Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 20:36:26 -0500 To: OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com Subject: Multitude of New Years thanks From: Jake Elwell Some great offerings have rolled in over the past fortnight, setting the table for another year of OBC awesomeness. Starting with my birth state of Massachusetts, BOB DONALDSON sent a card which I'm sure he knows every vintage Hockey card set builder DREADS searching for -- yes, the checklist card. In this case, the 68-69 Topps checklist -- one of the few cards I still need(ed) from the set and a RELIEF to have gone from my list! For good measure Bob added a 61 Nu Card College Football SCP. I hadn't been collecting this set and in fact had never noticed it before but ... Jakey Likes It!! I like college football and I like obscure sets so this is perfect and I will be adding it to my list. If anyone has any 1961 Nu Card Football (Need all EXCEPT #101) I will welcome them and return fire. Heading west, across practically the entire Mass Pike, to the Berkshires, DON RICE returned fire in legendary fashion with a 1963 Red Sox yearbook!! I have always loved Sox yearbooks, still treasure mine from childhood and have worked back from there since. This one is a beaut, glossing over the managerial (and winning) difficulties that beset the pre-1967 Red Sox, welcoming newly acquired and "colorful" first bagger Dick Stuart, and posting reports on promising youngsters Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli. Wonderful browsing and so appreciated!! In other generosity news, DAVE LUCIANO chipped in with a 1970 Supers Ron Santo (which had once been folded into three -- to fit in a pants pocket?) and two guys helped out with noteworthy 1959s -- ANDY COOK sent Early Wynn and GREG HENTHORN sent Mudcat Grant. Fantastic stuff, gentlemen -- I am very grateful to you and to all the gang at OBC. Happy New Year! --Jake Elwell ================= Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 20:30:11 -0600 To: OBC-Thanks Subject: MY MAILMAN HAS A HERNIA From: Doug Smith He must. Well, maybe not. Our mail person is a lady anyway. But the volume of cards I received while I was away for a week is astounding. So I will try to say THANK YOU to each of my OBC friends who sent cards in the last 10 days or so. Ken Morganti sent a hard to find high number 1972 Topps Jim McAndrew. Thanks, Ken. Don Rice put a dent in my 1951 Berk Ross collection by sending Phillies outfielder Del Ennis and a pair of Yankees, Jerry Coleman and Eddie Lopat. He also sent a couple of 61 Topps, one of my favorite players Minnie Minoso, and some unknown by the name of Mays...celebrating his being the 1954 National League MVP. Thanks Don. Joel Freedman sent a 1963 high number of Orlando Cepeda. His league leading 46 homers and 146 RBI's in 1961 was a pretty decent season. Thanks, Joel. Mike Glasser put four dents in my 63 Topps list with Dave Nicholson, Dick Williams, Sam Mele, and Felix Torres. Thanks, Mike. Sam Taylor hit my 62 T list with 3 (that's three) Babe Ruth cards including a greenie, and a high number John Goryl. He also sent 2 61's... Bob Taylor and the Minnesota Twins (complete with their Washington Senators uniform from 1960). Very cool. Thanks, Sam Bob Donaldson sent only one card, but what a card.... Clemente, Aaron, and Mays...the 1965 National League batting leaders. Nice! Thanks, Bob. Chris Tripler sent a rare hit to my Scratch Off collection ... Tony Perez. Thanks, Trip. Anthony Arbeeny sent a 51 Berk Ross Granny Hamner, a 66 Topps Johnny Podres, and 5 1963 Topps Ed Hobaugh, Barry Latman, Jack Kralick, Indians team card, and my favorite Juan Marichal with a cool hole punch so I can hang him up. Thanks a bunch Ant. And to all my OBC friends, Happy card collecting New Year.

He sent some very nice cards including one I wasn't expecting, but the envelope was missing a bunch of the stuff he said he was sending. I only know Ant from reading the OBC emails, but I thought maybe he had changed his mind. Boy was I wrong !! The second envelope was so heavy it took the postal service two extra days to deliver it! Included were 4 62T's including Maris 61st blast, one of the Babe cards, and two hard to find high numbers. Very nice, but only the start. Also included were 20 63's including the NL Strikeout leaders card with both Koufax and Gibson, a Richie Ashburn card (I always like him because he hit lots of singles like I did), Braves catcher Del Crandall, and a Bobby Shantz card. At 5'7, 150, he's even smaller than I am so he was a favorite too. There were 16 more 63's in there, mostly mid-high to high. What a dent that put in my 63 wantlist! Ant, I'll never doubt you again!

At least I got them today as the mail hasn't run since Wednesday due to icy streets. We only got about 2" of snow but the town has been shut down for 3 days. no mail, no trash pickup, no school and most churches are cancelled for tomorrow. We are not set up to deal with ice & snow. My northeast buddies would be laughing at us. They sent down some salt trucks from farther inland today to help. ANYWAY. Doug DeJong sent 2 hits to my '63 Topps set and a single hit to the 56T effort. I don't usually set goals for the year and it shows when I go to the Raleigh show. I usually have no idea what I will spend my money on until I get to the show. But the '61 & '63 are really my priority because they are the biggest gaps to completing my 60-80 Topps run. I'm actually closer on some 50s sets than I am the '61 & '63. Doug, thanks for focusing me back in on getting these sets down to a more manageable list. Hope to see you at another show soon.

From: mikesportsfan@aol.com The Red Wings Old Timer set is only 18 cards, with no checklist to the best of my knowledge. If you have more than that, I would love to get the list of the ones you have. I believe I gave some of these out at one of the Strongsville gatherings at your house a few years ago. On a similar note, I just finally picked up the 1979 Dearborn Detroit Tigers set of 18 series 2. For some reason the big guides tend to only list the first series 1978 set. The card size changed from the first series being more like the 1952-1956 Topps to regular size cards in Series 2.

Yeah, I know, it's been almost two weeks since Christmas, but we took a family vacation the day after Christmas, and just got back to a pile of backedup mail (snail and email varieties...) and with the same greeting me at the office, it's taken this long to sort everything out. STEVE SANKNER was my OBC Santa, and he sent me a HUGE pile of hockey cards,ALL Detroit Red Wings, as well as game used ticket stubs from the Rangers (v. Ottawa) and the NJ Devils (v. Pittsburgh) and a single baseball piece, an unused ticket stub from the 2017 Atlantic League All Star game played atthe home of the Somerset Patriots in Bridgewater, NJ. The cards were mostly of the UV genre, but contained guys that played in a more vintage era, including Howe, Sawchuk, and Delvecchio, as well as a few of that Yzerman guy. Also included was a 1981-82 set of cards from an Old Timers Red Wing set (I'm still researching, but it appear s that it is a complete set of 24 including a "checklist"). He also added a 1983-84 Detroit Red Wings team photocard (not sure what this is from yet, but it shows a baby faced rookie in the back row named Yzerman) and then he throws in two autographed pieces, an auto'd post card of Wayne Connelly, and a smaller glossy photo that I am still trying to identify the card of Bruce MacGregor which is also nicely autographed of him in his Red Wing playing days, before he went on to "fame"as the GM of the juggernaut Edmonton Oilers of the Wayne Gretzky era. AWESOME Christmas package, Steve, with many more hours of fun ahead with the background checking. LOVE IT!!! That wasn't the only mail in the Taylor mailbox when we came home, though... ANDY COOK sends an SCP of 1962 Jello (The HARD ONE) of HOFer Nellie Fox. It's ALWAYS a good day when that set gets hit!! RICK LYONS also graced my mailbox with a 1962 Venezuela hit!! Yet another rarely hit set, and this one is of the Detroit Tiger trio of Steve Boros, Jake Wood and Mgr. Bob Scheffing. I especially like the fact that the back of this card has a nice write up in Spanish. I am not TOO particular about condition, but unlike many of my OBC brethren, I REALLY like to read the backs and see the card numbers. For those of you that aren't familiar with Topps Venezuelan cards, they come on cheaper stock paper and the Venezuelan kids PASTED them in booklets, so nearly all of them are completely illegible on the back. This one has some serious corner wear, but EVERY word is clear. It's a Christmas Miracle!! CHRIS TRIPLER then chimes in with a lovely Christmas card with a 1956 Davy Crockett orange tucked neatly inside. Thanks again, guys, and a Merry Christmas to all, on this, the 12th Day of Christmas!!

SCD's standard catalog lists lists him as James Lafitte, but I could find no record of a James Lafitte playing baseball around that time. Some hunting on the internet however found Ed Lafitte pitching for Rochester that year. He had made the Detroit Tigers roster in 1909 with brief appearances, then spent 1910 back in the minors at Rochester where he had a very good year. His official rookie season was 1911 with the Tigers. He spent a few years in the majors with about a 500 record. Then ended up with a long career in the minors.

I "saved" all of you by accepting these (barely UV) Topps cards, since I haven't started the set yet. I got two flats full of hoopsters. Bonus is that these are the 'mid west' cards - I had onl y seen the 'east' distribution up til now. I also picked off a 1978 Hostess card from his waiver wire to close in on that set. THANKS GERSH!!  The final envelope to report comes from JOHN STAMPER. He picks off two 1977 Topps cloth stickers in Garvey and Yount (leaving just Brett**, Yaz** and a puzzle piece) and another 1978 Hostess - Nolan Ryan! That's some serious star power there! THANKS JOHN!! TAYL, Ken M - the eBay wins netted me a couple hundred discs. At this rate, I might make all my goals by the end of the month, never mind the end of the year :-) Sent from my not so smart phone. http://kenmorganti.weebly.com ================= Date: 08 Jan 2018 22:37:43 +0000 To: Subject: Monday Thanks Go Out To......

From: hoot_owl1@verizon.net A pair of thanks today To our friend in Central America--MRW connects with a Canadian seller to send me five pristine 1976 OPCs--only knocking 20% of my 2018 goal off the list. One of them is Mickey Lolich nearing the end of his Detroit tenure--what a stud, he pitched 300 innings a bunch of times but probably ate too many doughnuts. Just think--he won three games in the 1968 series beating Gibby in game 7 preventing the Cardinals from winning back to back championships. And the Tigers team had McLain winning 31 that year but Mickey was the WS star. So I thought I bought a 1962 Kahns Jim Perry on eBay--but the auction was summarily ended because the seller "couldn't find the card." I suppose Bob Neill couldn't find it because he was sending it directly to me along with a four pack of 1973 OPCs. An only in OBC moment.

Taylor handed me a trio of 1972 high numbers for that shrinking set. Thanks Taylor! Taylor also did some great bird dogging for me, as usual. He has an amazing ability to glance over my want list and then thirty minutes later pull something out of a bargain bin and say "You need this one". Not sure how he does it but he sure does it well! I always enjoying meting up with Taylor at the shows and always learn something new about our hobby from him. The show was OK - neither bad nor great. I managed to snag a couple T206 HOFers from Kurt Tourdot, and get some hits to the 58 and 64 Topps sets. I briefly thought I knocked off the 1979-80 Topps hockey set with some guy I have never heard off, but when I got home I found another hole in the binder for some other guy I have never heard off. That though was only the first of the gremlins. I went through the 58 binder and found a trio of new additions for the want list as well as a pair of reverse gremlins as I bought a couple from Kurt that I already had. I really don't know why it is so hard for me to keep up an accurate want list! ================= Date: 11 Jan 2018 03:48:25 +0000 To: Subject: incoming from Ed Hutchinson From: goose54197783@yahoo.com ================= To: OBC Thanks Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 08:58:47 -0500 Subject: Thanks Ant!

But, not just any Nolan Ryan A PSA 1 NOLAN RYAN RC This card has super nice eye appeal, with just slightly worn corners, a tiny crease in the lower right corner, and a larger quarter circle crease in the top right corner, which is only really noticeable when you tilt the card just right in the light. If they had a grade of PSA GEM POOR, this would definitely be one. Thanks so much Mike!

From: James Silva Nate Mack sends a nice card full of cards. The post office kindly opened itfor me - it was slit wide open on both ends, which is probably why the nice =E2=9952 Mantle card wasn=E2=99t in the envelope. What WAS in the envelope was a single from the =E2=9961 Topps and 10 cards from my birth year set - =E2=9962 Topps. The =E2=9961 was Bobby Malkmus. For some unknown reason, Malkmus garnered some MVP votes in =E2=9961 for his 374 plate appearances with a slash line of .231/.327/.276 as a utility infielder. Is there a story there? I wonder if his mom had a vote because, WOW. Malkmus managed to stay employed in the majors for 6 seasons for about a season=E2=99s worth of at bats (572) and clocked 8 home runs putting together a career slash line of .215/.265/.300. I love looking up guys on baseball reference and finding stories or mysteries like this. The =E262s included Gene Woodling after he had put together a nice season for the Senators. Wooding was 38 when he played that first season withthe Senators and had been on the All Star team just two years prior. Even his last season - 1962 - was a productive one (with the Mets) with Woodlinghitting 10 home runs between Washington and the Mets with a .276/.379/.424slash line. Woodling managed to have an OPS+ above 100 for each of his last 8 seasons. If the DH had existed the Senators probably would have kept him and played him until he was into his 40s. Great cards, Nate!

I just love seeing these massive assaults.
I didone several years ago and it=E2=99s really fun to do, albeit a good amount of investment in time, supplies , cards and postage!

Nate doesn=E2=99t let those minor details bother him, he flings a duo of 53B at me, hitting what many have called the best looking postwar set ever. These pair help a bunch and look good in my 8 per page binder sheets!

Also I dutifully report that one corner was slashed on the envelope. Not enough to let these hits fall out though it=E2=99s certainly odd to hear of this happening to so many of Nate=E2=99s outgoing envelopes. I=E2=99m glad the snoop didn=E2=99t need these two cards for his own set!

Thank you Nate!
OBC Forever,
Brian

Also among the =E2=9970=E2=99s was Tom Mack who was a Pro Bowl guard several times over. And thanks to the backof the card I knew that his dad played Major League baseball. I went looking and discovered Ray Mack who was the Indians second baseman for parts of 8 seasons and made the All Star team as a 23 year old. His last season withthe Indians was 1946 and his last season in MLB was 1947 with the Yanks and Cubs. Also, while Ray Mack is a strong name, his given name, Raymond James Mickovsky is cooler!

JIM CRAIG takes aim at my 1960 Fleer All Time Greats set, pitching in with Ki Ki Cuyler, Tony Lazzeri, and Paul Waner. By definition, all three are all time greats, but I will give a little detail about Paul Waner ("Big Poison"). Waner hit .300 or better in 13 out of 15 seasons with the Pirates, including three batting titles. He was the NL MVP in 1927. TOM HOUSLEY chips in with three blue team checklists from 1973 Topps - Angels, Phillies, and my Pirates. MIKE GLASSER sharpens the corners of Mr. October with an upgrade to my 1974 Topps Reggie Jackson. He always seems to be swinging a bat on his cards, and this one is no different. All of these cards are much appreciated! - Greg Henthorn ================= To: "'OBC-Thanks'" Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 19:58:01 -0500 Subject: Set Completed! 1972 ATG From: "Greg Henthorn" TOM HOUSLEY finishes off my 1972 Kellogg's All Time Greats set with a pair of highly appreciated cards.Mickey Cochrane and Eddie Collins!

He packed a 400-count box full of cards from the 1950s, completely customized for my wantlist! If this box from Bill were my entire collection of vintage cards, I would be proud. It included a Rocky Colavito rookie card, several HOFers, stars, team cards, high numbers, etc. And the condition is in the G to EX range - very nice cards. It has been very enjoyable to go through this box, update my wantlists, and sort through the cards. Not long ago, Bill also had sent me a pair of bills of confederate money - including a $100 bill from the Confederate States of America. Bill gets my vote for the OBC Hall of Fame! The following are the specifics: - 1 from 1950 Bowman - 14 from 1954 Bowman - 26 from 1954 Topps (including Roy Face and Al Rosen) - 1 from 1955 Bowman - 66 from 1957 Topps (including Rocky Colavito RC!, Don, Larsen, Lindy McDaniel, Vic Power, Hank Bauer, Carl Erskine - and 7 from the scarce 4th - 95 from 1958 Topps (including Rocky Colavito, Billy Martin, Bob Turley) - 39 from 1959 Topps (including Don Larsen, Charley Maxwell, Pirates team - with 3 high numbers) Once again, this is a much appreciated, generous gesture. And the cards will provide a lot of enjoyment, looking through them with my kids and explaining to them how RAOKs work.

BOB D'ANGELO sent a box that included a 2004 figurine of Chuck Tanner, the Pirates skipper from the 1979 World Series team (when I was 7 years old). Also inside was a card of Willie Stargell, a childhood hero of mine, and a 2017 biography of Terry Bradshaw, another childhood hero, who was winning Super Bowls as I was developing my memory banks. The biography is by Brett Abrams and looks interesting. I can still remember the Sports Illustrated cover from around 1980 with Stargell and Bradshaw on the cover together. I grew up expecting success! STEVE SANKNER sent a very generous package of Pittsburgh Penguins autographed photos (legitimate autographs) of players from the 1970s teams: Ron Stackhouse, Bob Kelly, Gary Inness, Ron Schock, Jean Provonost, Lowell MacDonald, Kevin McCreary, and a pair of Ken Schinkel, who retired as the Penguins all time points leader (now held by Super Mario). I look forward to showing these to my older brother, who is a huge Penguins fan, and who watched these guys throughout the 1970s. Steve also included a 1961 Topps upgrade for me of Joe Schaffernoth.

From: Ken M Hi gang,  JIMI THAYER sends along three 1975 minis to further that set along. One of them was All Star Pete Rose! Long before I joined OBC, I kept a binder with the Topps All Star selections in it (1969 and 1975 on up. For some reason, I never remember putting the 1970 AS's in there... or I started the set and put them in that binder.) Anyway, I had a page with the 1975 mini All Stars, but gave a few of them awayover the years. When I recently started the mini set, I found the page and put the remaining All Stars in my set. The Rose gives me 15/17 (Topps didn't designate Reggie's card, so the AL only had two AS OF'ers). Only Brooks and Fisk remain to (re)complete that subset from my earlier days. THANKS JIMI!!

On my way I stopped at House of Cards outside DC, and through some fortunate email timings, managed to visit Mac Wubben a mere minutes away. Loved going through his impressive pre-war collections and the Nap Lajoie player collection was quite remarkable. Mac generously handed me two 33 Goudies - both Philadelphians - 1 each from the A's and Phillies. He also gave me a Batter Up of A's player too. A pink one at that. Thanks Mac! It was nice to visit. A couple envelopes were waiting for me when I got back. Peter Mead sends a few 50's footballers - 2 58's and a 54 Bowman. Sadly, in what may be my first experience of this in 7 years with OBC, I received a flat from Bob Bannon. "A couple of coins from your list. I hope they are OK". Ironically, no - the holder inside the note was empty. I didn't notice it when I opened it, but it looks like one of the ends was tampered with and the money is gone.
