Card Show update

Overall, a good card show. This will be a teaser post, since I'm too tired/lazy to do a complete one. I was all over the place. I met a few new dealers and reacquainted myself with one.

Here's a small sampling. More scans and photos in the coming days. I was able to pick up 7 Bill Wade cards. A buck each.


And a 1970 Topps Super. Short Print of Willie Davis. A buck.



I was helping Beardy out with his Orioles collection. A mess of 1968 Topps O's are going his way, along with some other O's from the 1960s. I noticed that this one featured two different cap logos. My guess is that the May photo was from the previous year or earlier, knowing that Topps liked to recycle images. A buck.



This is a very frayed Old Mill Tobacco Silk of Ethel Green. The advertising is no longer present. Fifty cents.

Let's see. What else? I picked up five 1964 Topps Giants that the Troll needs. I picked up a few oddballs (baseball and other). Featured items include an author, diodes, a gun a-blazin', a ball player holding seven, count them, seven, bats, and an on-card signed card of a member of the AAGBL. And no, I don't know if I put the commas in the correct places.

  6. "There was a dealer that had boxes and boxes of autograph and relic cards for 2 bucks each. I leafed through them. Many minor leaguers, many being set issued on-card autos. No, I don't remember which manufacturer. I had no connection to them so I let them lay in the box." *dies a little inside*
