Found a cheap little lot on ebay. A large percentage of the cards were '50s and early '60s. Not a bad selection for under $10.
Here's what I got. New-to-me cards first followed by trade bait.
'50s cards. The '55 Bowmans were the big draw, very rare to see them in a little cheap lot.
Early '60s. That Jim Landis card is a high-number. It looks like there is paper loss on Bob Veale's face but that's actually part of the card - reflection of the camera flash on his glasses.
Some nice mid-60s additions too.
On to the trade bait. It might be months before I hit the post office again but feel free to claim anything you like. '50s-early'60s trade bait here.
Mid-60s trade bait. Anyone looking to start a Jerry Lynch PC? You can get to a good start here.

Congratulations on a really nice haul (and for less than $10!). I'd take you up on your trade bait offer but due to budget concerns, I don't collect anything pre-1969. I still hope to arrange a trade with you whenever I can find a decent amount of cards you need.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pickup for the price. Very cool to see Alvin Dark with the Cubs. As a Bay Area guy, I'm used to seeing him associated with the Giants (NY or SF) or the A's (KC or Oak).
ReplyDeleteWho needs card shows, when you got the eBay!
