When Night Owl was recently gifted with a box with lots of 1969/1970 cards I was hoping he was having some extras I could trade for. He did - here is what I got, in exchange for some 1970s and some tennis relics:
1969. My favorite is the Chris Short card, probably the best Wrigley Field shot I've seen on a baseball card.
1970 and 1971. That Lowell Palmer card is a famous photo I'm happy to add to my collection.
1973 and 1974. I've been re-reading the book Ball Four and Ralph Houk is a key person in that book.
Well, That Snuck Up On Me

The Short card isn't at Wrigley Field. That's the Polo Grounds. The Mets last played there in 1963, meaning Topps used a six-year-old picture.
ReplyDeleteNice pickups, for sure. I like that 1970 Mazeroski card. The '70 Sizemore is a classic, too.
ReplyDeleteIt feels pretty good to be able to throw around vintage in trades. I hope I can continue to do that.
