Too Many Great Cards

Recently Dennis of Too Many Verlanders acquired a huge collection including a whole lot of trimmed 1960s cards. I asked him to take a look at my wantlists to see what he might have that I could use. I figured there might be one or two, but he found fifteen that I needed!

Here are ten. Mostly from the 1966 set but a couple from 1965. The klipped Klippstein has already been upgraded - I happened to get another in the mail the same day! I'll be able to pass the trimmed one to an OBCer working on a worst 1965 set.

Here are the big pickups from what he sent - five 1966 high-numbers! This is one of, maybe the toughest sets for getting high numbers, so to get five at once is amazing! One of them is the very famous Claude Raymond "open fly" card, so that makes it even better.
Dennis generously threw in some modern cards too, like ten Sportflics needs!
Some other randoms too, including a great Topps Magazine card and a baseball card of a chess player.
Dennis didn't ask for anything in return but this was so nice that I'm finding some cards to send back his way.

  2. That Heritage Fischer card is awesome! Is it a short print or something? Sellers are asking a crazy amount for it on eBay.
