I was in a crazy mood for this years Fan Authentics show. I picked up lots of stuff but wasn't looking for anything special. Most of my time was spent in Dime Boxes but I also dedicated a fair chunk of my trip to BuyBacks - which I think were mostly from 2015T Update.
Here are some highlights, If time permits I may come back at a later time and give some of these cards more analysis.
1958 Topps Pancho Herrera
Buybacks made up a big part of my day1 finds. I handn't picked up many Phillies Buy Backs and I believe this Pancho Herrera is my earliest. This card went for 50 cents or a Dollar.
Collecting goal may be to pick up a Phillies BuyBack from each year of Topps.
1974 Topps Steve Carlton BuyBack
1978 Topps World Series Highlight Reggie Jackson
Even found Buybacks of Hall of Famers. Each of the above 70s era cards went for $2.
1959 Topps Buybacks Walt Moryn, Morrie Martin, Murray Wall
Found 3 buybacks from one of my favorite early sets. 50 cents or a Dollar on each.
1975 Topps Jim Kaat
Found lots of 1975T buybacks. Most are destined for Night Owl territory, but Kaat is likely staying in the Phungo collection.
1975 Topps Buybacks
These are the 1975T BuyBacks, Twitchell will stay local, the rest are destined to travel.
1974 Topps Fred Kendall Buyback
I bypassed the Padres Kendall initially, until I saw the one with the Phillies flags. Will definitely return to this one at a future date. (.50 each)
Vintage
1958 Topps Kluszewski/Williams
Picked up the Ted's card for $9.
1967 Topps Checker w/ Jim Kaat
Focusing a bit on 1967T a bit getting ready for 2016 Heritage. Curious if the Checklists which have been left out of recent editions of Heritage will return in the upcoming release. The presents of a player on the card may factor in Topps decision.
1973 Topps Dick Allen
This is a Stamp Card as well, but it is of the 75th anniversary variety. ($1)
World Series
1973 Topps World Series Highlights Johnny Bench
And there were buybacks of WS HL cards that included Hall of Famers. ($1-$2)
1967 Topps WS HL Brooks Robinson
More 1967 Topps, This is the Vanilla no stamp variety. ($1)
Another more modern WS Highlight Card. This is one that reps a game that Team Phungo was very happy to have attended. (Dime Box)
Nolan Ryan No-Hitter Number Six
Added to my Nolan Ryan No-Hitter Collection with this one. Will probably be a future posting on this one at some point. (dimebox)
Len Dykstra, Ken Griffey Jr
As part of Our 2016 HoF Ballot feature we discuss this card (DimeBox)
Dom Brown RC Auto
I am not sure that I was supposed to get this but, they were handing out free autographed Dom Brown RCs when I entered the Show on Friday.

ReplyDeleteThat 58 Topps Klu-Williams is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe Ted's card just jumped out at me - it was the first thing I picked up on the 2nd day of the show and I was happy to find it.
ReplyDeleteNice primitive attempt at a custom card: cutting and pasting Phillies onto Kendall's card.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct Jim from Downingtown. Hope to revisit this card at some point.
