Thanks to recent waiver claims from Jim Beauchemin, Rob Gioia, Dan Austin & others, I have a burgeoning group of Post cards (maybe Jello too, after reading Ken's article!) Because I have so few of these cards at present, and since some of them border on atrocious, I would not mind acquiring similar awful-looking cards. Nicer ones are OK too; as I was reminded upon visiting another OBCer's website today, I can always downgrade! :-) Here are the lists - as always, thanks for looking! 1961 Post - I wouldn't mind assembling the lowest grade Post sets ever seen!

It has been about six months since I last circulated my wantlist. Since then, I have completed the 1960 Topps set (!) and have whittled the 1958 and 1959 sets down to just a few each. My Topps quest (from 1953 on) is down to just over 400 cards. Since it has become so hard to hit the Topps list, I added both the 1960s Post/Jello and the 1970s Hostess sets to the wantlist. As always, I have NO condition requirements. Thanks for looking, and best wishes for the New Year! Mike Wierzbicki 5484 W.

Al Crotte, here. OK folks, I have finally updated my wantlist after 7 long months and countless reductions from the OBC era and post 1980 lists. My UV era list has had some additions, but not many. No additions to the OBC era list (thankfully). I will be changing my page's format once I have my new .mac account and likely adding a soccer wantlist page with some cool 1920's and 30's tobacco card soccer wants. Some may note the change to my top 10 wantlist. It is now OBC era only and mainly features the Toledo baseball players that appear in the T-206 set. I can't wait until the next National. Happy New Year everyone. Peace through cardboard.
