1964 Topps #460 Bob Gibson This card is in not in anywhere near perfect condition. It generally looks good, the corners are soft and it is dimpled throughout, but there aren't any real creases, and it is not written on. The color is tsill go and it is a fine looking card of Bob Gibson.
So why the hell is it in the dollar bin? I have no clue - I can think of a bunch of reason it has to be rescued from that squalid neighborhood.
#1) It's Bob Gibson!
#2) 1964 Topps - 45+ years old card of a Hall of Famer
#3) It's a Semi-High Number in the '64 High Series
#4) Try and find this baby for under $5 on an auction site.
#5) I have to say it again - It's Bob Gibson!
1964 Topps #280 Juan MarichalAnother 64 HoF for a dollar.
1965 Topps #399 Ray HerbertTypically I wouldn't pick a 1965 card out of the dollar bin, but the Herbert card is a High Number and those are a bit scarcer in the topps 65 set. I think I crossed 3 Phils off my Topps Want lists over the weekend. The other two were 80s cards out of a dime box.
1962 Topps #575 Red Shoendienst 1989 Topps #81 Frank Viola
One more Hi-Number Vintage HoF - unfortunately poor Red has been sent to the bargain bin for having his position shifted from 2b to Manager. This may be Shoendienst's last card as a player.
And what the heck is with this Giant Frank Viola Card? Stay tuned for more info later in the week.
I know what the heck is with the giant Frank Viola card. But your secret is safe with me.
ReplyDeleteWeird, I have the same Shoendienst card and it has his position scratched off and "coach" written on it.
ReplyDeleteYou need the player for the Viola? ;)
