Easing the sting of the Yankees' bullpen turning back into pumpkins by showing some of the cards that I've recently acquired over the past month . . .
The weekly low-grade Greg Morris auctions continue to be fun, even though they are hit-or-miss in terms of big stars. I did well here with some big names. I ended up with two 1972 high number George Culver (732) in case anyone needs one.
I did pretty good here too. A Cepeda high-number and a couple of Wilhelm high-numbers, and my first 1952 Mothers Cookies PCL card.
This last one was lighter but had some nice oversized pitcher photos.
Other pickups include a '64 Gibson . . .
. . . a '69 Billy Martin (down to five needs on that set) . . .
. . . and a '59 Ernie Banks.
I picked up a cheap-enough lot of '57 Topps. I needed the top five. Bobby Thomson is the biggest name but Joe Ginsberg has the best-looking card. The five on the bottom are all available for trade.
Finally, not vintage but I put in a single bid for ten copies of this 1989 unlicensed Will Clark card, just because I love unlicensed 1980s cards. Anyone who wants one of these just let me know!
Some big names. Very nice!

ReplyDeleteA. Some very nice stuff here. I've been targeting two (a SF Seal and an Oakland Oak) of those 1952 Mother's Cookies PCL cards for my collection, but not sure I'll ever drop the big money that people ask.
ReplyDeleteB. Pretty sure the LCS I worked at had a 50ct. box of those Clarks back in the early 90's. We had one or two shelves dedicated to unlicensed cards of stars. Didn't realize that you're a fan. I collect them too... and have a few dupes I can send your way.
You can never go wrong with OG Mother's Cookies. I don't think that I've ever shown any on the blog before, but I've got a semi-decent collection of them.
ReplyDeleteSweet stuff! Especially love the Musial, Campy,, and Mother's Cookies card.
ReplyDeleteI really need to start following GM's auctions again.
