Select-a-size cards from Night Owl

I sent Night Owl a few of his 1979 Topps football needs recently, and he sent me back a very nice return package of mostly vintage cards of all sizes.

Starting off with the non-standard-size cards. Some '75 minis, a 1974 Kellogg of Catfish Hunter, and a 1971 Topps Giants Wes Parker. I really like the giant cards, the photography comes alive more in the larger format, even on a simple photo like Parker's (which should be a 1970 card, as the photo is from 1969 with the 100th anniversary patch).

Some regulation-size vintage. The Furillo is posed but is still a great lot. And there are still Bill Wetmore cards finding their way to me!
These were some very generous additions. Four 1970 Topps needs - three Hall of Famers and a high-number.
Some modern needs too. The foil on the 1995 Leaf cards catches the light quite nicely.

    Was totally unaware of the size differences when picking out the cards.

    That Flair Pedro is really cool. Don't see him wearing Dodgers gear too often... especially on such a premium card like Flair.

    The Furillo is really cool. Staged action is usually better than a generic headshot.
