Blogger/TCDB/OBC roundup

Starting off with these cards from A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts. He had a free cards tab on his blog for a long time and I was one of those who didn't notice until he pointed it out in a blog post. Some 1972 Sunoco football stamps, and lots of fun cards of vintage players. Some great photos there. But my favorite is the super-shiny Scott Rolen from 2000 Bowman. It just really pops in person.

It looks like Jon's updated that free cards tab so right after publishing this I'm going to go claim some more. Got to keep up my reputation as a grabber of free cards. As usual there are way more than nine that I'd want, so it's good he's got that restriction.

TCDB has been quiet lately but I had a nice trade with Abebauman. Some nice vintage including a '63 Fleer and a '72 high number. I love cards like Aspromonte's that look like they were taken in someone's backyard with the neighbor's house visible. Some fun modern cards in the mix too.


Lots from OBC lately. Byron Boyd sent four Fleer from '63: Face, Farrell, Freese and, er, Famalfitano. Two from 'Fifty-Five Bowman as well!

A fun modern mix from Gunny Musgrove, who's also on TCDB. Everything from FDR in WWI to early Candlestick Park.
Eddie Bankston sent some modern cards, mostly whittling down my 1990 Leaf set, but also with the last card needed for my 1994 Fleer set!

Andrew Goguen sent a nice all-Canadian mix.
Peter Mead sent these three old cards of even older players.
Four 1962 wooden headshots from Mark Talbot.
Newcomer Steven Buzil jumped right in sending two vintage cards including a '68 high-number with Luke "Sky" Walker.

Scott Jensen sent four '55 Bowman's. Two dark-paneled TVs and two light-paneled ones.

  1. Some cool stuff here. Never seen that Candlestick Park card. What set is it from?

  2. It's still amazing to me that people will just randomly send out things like '63 Fleer. The Lary and Maglie Bowman's are my favorites here.
