I joined OBC about two years ago, and my count I've already done a dozen trades with one of their members, Gunny Musgrove. (You can find him on TCDB). Our latest trade saw lots of old cardboard flying each way!
Starting off with some 1960s cards, including a Hall of Famer*!
On to the late 1950s. Some classic posed batting shots.
When the Topps cards start getting bigger, you know you are getting into rarer territory. Highlighted by a '55 Ted Kluszewski, coming off a 49 HR season!
The Topps cards are great, but the Bowmans are possibly even better, especially 1953 Bowman Color, one of my all-time favorite sets. All three of those photos are fantastic, but my favorite is Sam Jethroe and his big smile at the Polo Grounds.
*That's Ron Santo on Don Landrum's card.
Sam's smile clearly say he's happy.
ReplyDeleteThe Bowman's are really nice. Even though it's not one of my favorite sets, the Klu is my favorite here.
