Vintage star card roundup

Two weeks ago from Greg Morris auction, got just a small number of cards but a few big stars, highlighted by the fantastic 1962 Topps #1, Roger Maris. Other highlights include two Al Kaline's including a Post.

 

 Then from last week's, a few more cards but almost no stars, except for another Post Kaline.

 

Other than that, just a couple of other cheap, rough stars. Looks like the only way I can get a cheap Koufax is if I don't want borders. Got a trimmed '59 a few weeks ago, now a trimmed '63:

This is one of the most popular league leader cards of the era, for good reason. Some inconsequential paper loss scared others away so I was able to get it cheap.

  1. 755 + 521 + 660 + 379 = 2,315

    That's a lot of home runs for one piece of cardboard.

  2. The things kids did to their cards in the '60s. I don't like the grading mind-set but heavens keep scissors away from your cards.

  3. That Roger Maris will be very valuable in the 24th century, according to Star Trek. https://www.facebook.com/Rogermariscollection/videos/star-trek-next-generation/610543303687887/

  4. The '62 Maris is one of the first vintage baseball cards I bought after coming back to collecting.
