Vintage star card roundup

Been almost a month since I did one of these posts. Four more Greg Morris auction results to show. Last week I skipped it for the first time since I started doing them about a year ago. I'll probably go back to it this week though.

Getting a cheap Mantle is a baseball thrill. So is adding a card of Al Schacht, Clown Prince of Baseball.

Another Mantle in here. He's not even on the card but it's still hard to get cheap. I like the photo of Griffith Stadium with the buildings around. Also two football checklists with the same Giants action photo cropped differently in '70 and '72.

The week before I snagged a whole lot of cheap '66 Venezuelans. The '67 Tony Perez is not a high number but people treat it like one, so glad to add that one.

Nothing too outstanding here. Did nicely on '72 high numbers, including an extra #683 that can be trade bait.

Speaking of trade bait I got this six-card lot of '57s. I needed the top three; the bottom are all available.

Only one other star card pickup in the past month, but it's one I'm very excited about! My first T206! It was trimmed so it stayed pretty cheap, I got it for about $15. Wouldn't have paid that much except it is a Yankee card. Actually my first Highlanders card!

Here it is unscrewed from it's prison. Bridie Cree was a solid outfielder for the Highlanders/Yankees from 1908 to 1915. His best season by far was 1911 when he hit .348 with 30 2B, 22 3B, 4, HR, 88 RBI and 48 SB.

Here's the back. A little rough but not too bad. I'm sure I won't be picking tobacco cards up very often but it sure is fun!
