Fun random lot

I picked up a fun random lot of various oddball vintage cards and other stuff. I really enjoyed this one.

Starting off with three large oddballs, three 1970 Topps posters. Two HOFers and Joe Horlen who twice led the AL in WHIP (though I wonder if he ever knew that).

From big oddballs to small oddballs. These were my two favorites and the main reason I bid on it. I had come across an image of the Amalfitano 1955 Golden Stamp and had wanted one, so was happy to see it in this lot. It looks like he's sitting in front of a giant map of the earth, though I guess it's just the sky with a bit of trees. The newspaper, the logo-less shirt, the minor league cap - all very unusual for a vintage card. And there's my first 1971 Bazooka - those are hard to come by, and what better than a great Yankee for my first one!

This oddball is a 1961 Fleer decal. These came one-to-a-pack with their Hall-of-Famer set.

Here's what the back looks like. I'm just a little tempted to try to stick it to something but won't.

These are two 1984 Perez-Steel postcards of Hall of Famers. They're listed in the Beckett book, which is good enough for me to count them as cards.

Not this though. It's a 1984 Fun Foods pin.

Here's the back. I like the comic-book style writing, something Topps was doing a lot at this time. This is available if anyone wants it.

I've never owned a Japanese menko card before. I don't know if this is a real 1940s menko, or some kind of reproduction. I can't find any legit sets that match the design here. Anyone know anything about this? The back is blank cardboard, and I believe it was perforated.

I like this 1971 Reds schedule. It's a single card pocket schedule, the back as the Reds' home games listed. I like the "Right on Reds" slogan, and the little ad about the men's store in the mall in Louisville. The card is not ripped, that is the design. (The tape marks are not.) As far as I can tell, Burkhardt was a major Cincinnati department store that had a few other locations. The Louisville one does not appear to have stayed open long. Looks like Oxmoor Mall opened in 1971 so this must have been brand new.

An 8 x 10, slightly blurry photo of Mets stars, 1985 or 1986. I like how you have uniform #s 15, 16, 17, and 18. Hopefully I can find a Mets fan who can give this a better home than I can.

I'll end the post on a much better note, with a Yankee legend. It's a facsimile autograph but still a nice photo of one of the best pitchers in Yankees history. Allie Reynolds won 182 games, twice led the AL in strikeouts, and in 15 World Series games, over six World Series (all Yankee triumphs) he went 7-2 with a 2.79 ERA.
