A couple of recent TCDB trades help beef up my 1961 set.
That recent eBay lot I bought, with a lot of high-grade dupes, already paid a dividend, as I was able to trade one 1959 high number to Bldrprof for a quartet of 1961s. The Bill Kunkel is my favorite here, even though I don't know if it is a colorized black-and-white photo or a straight-up painting.
Cdorso is working on a 1960 set, and I traded him all of my remaining '60s, plus a few modern cards, for 18 1961s:
taking care of those 61's you are.
ReplyDeleteLove that Cal McLish.
ReplyDeleteSome of the '61 singles, like Kunkel, do look like they were painted or created with a very primitive precursor to photoshop. I'm not sure myself, but it's one reason why I'd be turned off from building that set.
ReplyDeleteThe photos of that '61 set might make that the worst set of the 60's.
ReplyDeleteThe billboards behind Kunkel are great, his image, not so much.
