Daniel of It's Like Having My Own Card Shop recently picked up two copies of Maury Wills's 1963 Fleer card. I was able to work out a trade with him for the extra Wills. I mailed him a PWE of cards for my part of the trade - but forgot to stamp it! I accidentally sent PWEs to Daniel and another blogger and then realized I had forgotten to stamp them. Miraculously, they both arrived at their destination!
That '63 Wills is a great card. He didn't have a contract with Topps until late in his career so Wills cards from this time period are rare.
I love the back too. "The mercury-footed outfielder, son of a Baptist minister . . ." Better copy than Topps was writing at the time.Daniel threw in some great vintage extras too. These '75 minis are nice selection of stars from the mid-70s who are largely forgotten today.These are all needs from the fifth (next-to-last) series of 1970 Topps. Highlights include Frank Howard, Joe Pepitone and a Darrell Evans rookie.
I was just listening to a podcast that was talking about that Wills. Cool card.
ReplyDeleteYou really lucked out with those envelopes!
ReplyDeleteI thought about not putting postage on the package back, but didn't want to chance it. Just kidding. Glad you like the cards and thanks for the trade!
