Now that I got my new job I've fallen off the eBay wagon. I do have the willpower to cut off the Greg Morris Auctions but I'm still looking for vintage deals. Not finding much for stars or high numbers from base Topps sets but I'm finding an oddball here or there that's interesting.
These six cards make up a quarter of the 1948 Signal Oil Oakland Oaks set. Got the lot for about $2/card. These cards are a little rough but the photos come through well enough. Beautiful full-color set of cards, has to be one of the earlier color photo sets of baseball cards. No big names here (the set includes Lombardi, Stengel and Billy Martin) but fun pickups that show what baseball looked like in the 1940s.
Definitely cool.
ReplyDeleteWow... you got a great deal on this lot. I learned about this set a few years ago while searching for Oakland Oaks cards. I immediately started targeting the Billy Martin... but doubt I'll ever buy one (they're kinda pricey).
