Vintage star cards roundup

Here's some cards I got in the last couple of weeks.

Another big Greg Morris auction haul. This was heavy with Dodgers stars. There have been two more since then, I haven't received yet, but I didn't get nearly the same caliber of cards. (Fortunately, that meant spending a lot less, too.)

I picked up a very reasonable lot of three Willie Mays-themed cards for under $10. I only needed the '59 N.L. Hitting Kings card, but I figure the '58 Giants team card and especially the '70 Willie Mays will be some solid trade bait. If you are interested in either or both cards let me know!

Speaking of Mays, this was about $3. A 1968 American Oil (Amoco) game card.

Holy Cow! Another vintage Scooter for my collection. The handwritten team name adds to the card for me.

Not the biggest names, but the Topps Super cards look so good in person. These three are from 1971.

This was one I was very happy to land. I didn't want to spend a lot for one so it took a while. Al the street vendor had one of these, in much better condition of course, but I never had anything good enough to trade for it. He ended up selling it for $100 to someone who paid him in installments. After all those times of seeing that card on his table I'm very happy to finally have one of my own.

Finally, a rather unique oddball card that fits my collection as much for old NYC advertising as it does for baseball cards. This was a promotional card from 1972 featuring Bowery Bank spokesman Joe Dimaggio.

The back is clearly based off of the Topps cards that came out the previous year. The pink is a bold choice but it works. I don't know how these were distributed. Maybe they gave you a card when you opened an account.
