This was my first show at Bucks Technical. After going to a pair of more larger regional shows over the last month the Bucks show was a little disappointing. There were many 10-15 dealers with a decent variety of items. There wasn't much of a selection in the cheap vintage category, which hurt my day a bit.
Still Team Phungo was able to bring home some cool items:
2007 Topps Finest Ryan Howard ($4 #d to 50)
I try and collect cards that relate to games I have been to, so yeah I am the one guy that is interested in annoying stuff like UD Documentry or Moments and Milestones. Trouble is, I am only interested in specific cards in those set. Howard actually hit a pair of homers in this game as I remember. The Philllies pummeled Matt Cain. I think Moises Alou took out his knee running into a wall.
2007 Topps Finest is actually pretty decent as far as these cards go. The Description on the back is actually particular to the game specified on the card and the player pictured on the card is the one talked about on the reverse (unlike documentry and M&M)
More Phils
83 OPC Mike Schmidt
89 Topps Mike Schmidt Special (Card Number = L)
06 A&G Ginter back mini Chase Utley
75 Topps Mini Greg Luzinski
87 OPC Mike Easler
The OPC Schmidt, Utley Mini and Luzinski cards all went for a buck each while the remaining cards were dimers, I believe. The Easler is a bit of an oddity in the OPC Phils collection as it isn't part of the Topps set for 1987. The Utley card is a mini from the first issue of A&G. A buck is typically higher then I would go for a 75 mini but the bull is worth it. The 89 T Schmidt card appears to be a box bottom, I haven't bothered to find out where exactly this card originited.
Noteworthy
2007 A&G Box Loader N43 Joe Frazier ($2)
Couldn't lett this one got for $2, this is the 2nd A&G boxtopper I have picked up pretty cheaply in the last year. Kind of a pain to store, but nice to have a few.
Hall of Fame
All-Star Stand Up Ricky Henderson
2000 Topps #44 Hank Aaron
These were both dimers - Henderson is a popout/stand up card made by Leaf in the mid 80s to commemorate the All-Star game. These are similar to the 60s era standups that were homaged in 2011 Lineage.
In 2000 card #44 in the Topps set was dedicated to Hank Aaron, ala #7 for Mickey Mantley both prior and since. As far as I know this is the only year which Topps reserved #44 for Aaron. 2000 Topps is a minimalist design, which I like and consider a hidden gem in the Topps Pantheon.
