Did a vintage trade with Crocodile Sports Cards. He sent me some really great vintage cards.
Starting off with some 1961 semi-high and high numbers.
Eight cards for my 1959 Topps set. I'm down to under 35 needs for this set which is pretty remarkable.
Some fantastic older cards, including NFLer Vic Janowicz and Willie Puddin Head Jones.
Crocodile just posted some '56s on his blog, and the ones he sent are just as awesome. Some pretty good ones here with "Windy", "Duke" and Big Klu glaring at the collector.
These are even better! That Jim Rivera card, making a leaping catch in the stands at Yankee Stadium, instantly became one of my favorite cards. Jerry Lynch getting emphatically called out on his own card is pretty fantastic, too.
Thanks again, Crocodile!
56' are great
ReplyDeleteI love how there's a story to be told on so many of these 1956 paintings.
ReplyDeleteGeez, just had '61 high numbers sitting around? Took me forever to get that Roger Craig.
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting to see someone close to completing a set from the 50's!
ReplyDeleteThe '56 cards look fantastic. If I ever pursue a vintage set, that will be the one.
