Beat up vintage for the Holidays

 Two offerings in, I have gotten 10+ packages of cards sent out with my motivation/contest posts.  I am happy, since my only goal is increasing the # of card envelopes making the rounds. And I am going again with a completely different motivator/prize!

I am going to send all of the cards described/pictured below to one person, the lucky winner.  Here is what you have to do to qualify for a chance to be that person:

1. Comment on this post (by Friday Dec 5th at 8PM Eastern Time) that you will commit to sending out a package with cards in it to another person in the blogosphere (blogger or reader, doesn't matter).

2. That's it!  I won't be trying to verify that you have actually sent the package, I'm just trying to get the snowball rolling.  


The size and contents of the 'package' that you send is totally up to you, a single card in a PWE or a huge box, whatever you want.

Anyone is eligible, even those who entered last time or have already won something!  However, if you entered in previous 'holiday' contests and want to enter again, then you are committing to sending ANOTHER package, not just the one(s) you already committed to send.

I will take all the eligible comments and randomize the list three times to get our winner, who will receive... 

A bunch of vintagy cards, almost all in pretty beat up condition.  We will start with a batch of Kellogg's from various years, with some semi-stars in there:


Then a few Laughlin cards I have picked up randomly:

And 17 of the 33 card 1969 Deckle set, again, only semi-stars:

And some random horizontal cards from the 60's:

These are the only cards from the 80's, I think.  I don't know how many people think of these as vintage.  All are definitely not mint.

A decent batch of hammered cards from the 70's.  Some of these are really bad, like the Brett where someone wrote on the front.  The Robinson on the bottom row seems to have been cut out of a box of something, I have no idea what it is.  And the Colavito, I can't remember if it is from the 60s or 70s.

And to finish up, cards from the 60s. The Wills, Rose and Drysdale lead the way in brutal condition!


If you want in on a chance to get this lot, comment that you will send out a package to someone!!

Prospecting winner

  We had 5 participants for the drawing, and a few more that committed to sending things out, without entering the drawing, which I also appreciate.

So here is the initial list, ready to randomize three times:



The first randomization:



The second randomization:



And the final randomization with the top name being the winner:



The winner is Jeremy!!!  I will get the bulky cards out the door Monday.  Stay tuned for something else on Sunday too....again...

Prospecting for the Holidays

Well the 'Bulky Cards' motivation contest didn't go quite as well as I had hoped.  I got 6 qualifying comments, which means only 6 card packages out there that wouldn't have been.  I was hoping for at least 10, and dreaming of 15 or more.  But I guess I know who my loyal readers are...

However, I am already up for another try at it, with a completely different motivator/prize.  So let's go again!!  

I am going to send all of the cards described/pictured below to one person, the lucky winner.  Here is what you have to do to qualify for a chance to be that person:

1. Comment on this post (by Friday Nov 28 at 8PM Eastern Time) that you will commit to sending out a package with cards in it to another person in the blogosphere (blogger or reader, doesn't matter).

2. That's it!  I won't be trying to verify that you have actually sent the package, I'm just trying to get the snowball rolling.  


The size and contents of the 'package' that you send is totally up to you, a single card in a PWE or a huge box, whatever you want.

Anyone is eligible, even those who entered last time or even won last time!  However, if you entered last time and want to enter again, then you are committing to sending ANOTHER package, not just the one you already committed to send.

I will take all the eligible comments and randomize the list three times to get our winner, who will receive... 

A HUGE lot of young players!!!  This is well over 600 cards.  The players in the lot are 'young'.  That's pretty vague.  There are players who haven't hit the big leagues yet, but are highly regarded.  There are players who have hit the bigs but not made their impact yet.  And there are players who have definitely made an impact in the bigs, but who are still in their first few years.  And yes, if you look at the list of players, there are probably a few that many wouldn't consider youngsters anymore, but they are in the lot anyway.  All said, if you want cards of young players, with most having the potential to become MLB stars, this is the lot for you.

Here are a couple of pics:

All of the cards in the lot...



And 10 random cards I pulled to show the general kinds of cards in the lot.  I'd say this is pretty representative.  These are maybe not the biggest names in the lot (though Witt is top notch), but good young players anyway.

Pick me a Player #8 - Francisco Lindor

   I have 137 different players in my keepers with at least 10 cards.  The players are listed at the end of this post.  In an effort to get myself posting more consistently, I invite the first commenter on this post to choose one of the players below and I will post 5 of the most interesting cards I have of that player as the subject of another blog post.  Then on that post, the first commenter can pick another player and when I get around to it, I will post 5 cards of that player, and so on. 

So who will be my first commenter/player picker on this post???  Additional comments are welcome, but only the first one will be the player featured on the next post.



The Eighth player picked to be featured in this series was picked by OhioTim, and is......

Francisco Lindor!!

The first active player to be picked!  All but one of the previous 7 picks are already in the Hall of Fame, Lindor will likely get there someday.  I have 33 cards of Lindor in my keeper collection.

Cards of Francisco Lindor that I would like to add to my keepers:
1. More RCs!  Triple Threads and Update Chrome most wanted.
2. Refractors and serial numbered variations, preferably from early in his career.
3. 2018 Heritage #145 - Nickname Variation (Mr Smile)


Here's a few bonus cards of Francisco.  At times he has felt underrated, and at others, maybe a little overrated.  But as a consistently quality ballplayer, he definitely has a place in my keepers. 



OK, on to the five cards I selected...no particular order.



1. 2022 Topps Finest Aqua refractor #/199


Quite a popping card in hand.





2. 2020 Topps Vintage Stock #/99

Not the most visually grabbing card, but when I found it in a dime box, I knew it looked a little different, so I grabbed it.  Turns out the 'difference' was the Topps logo, which is the 'Vintage Stock' logo in this year.  Great pickup







3. 2019 Stadium Club Orange refractor #/99

This one has a strange look to it, the orange is a little funky.  But I like the angle with the out of focus hat.






4. 2015 Topps Update RC


Had to put my only RC in here!!  Wish I had other Lindor RCs.









5. 2010 Bowman Sterling USA Baseball Relics 
Just a kid!  5 years before his RC, this USA baseball pre-RC is pretty sweet.

Bulky cards for the Holidays

 Isn't it nice to go to the mailbox and find unexpected cards from a friend waiting for you there?  I'm thinking that there should be more cards being sent around like that in the next 6 weeks or so.  People just need to get cards in the mail at this time of year.  Anyone agree with me?  Would you like some incentive to do your part?  Then this is the place for you!

I am going to send all of the cards pictured below to one person, the lucky winner.  Here is what you have to do to qualify for a chance to be that person:

1. Comment on this post (by Friday Nov 21 at 8PM Eastern Time) that you will commit to sending out a package with cards in it to another person in the blogosphere (blogger or reader, doesn't matter).

2. That's it!  I won't be trying to verify that you have actually sent the package, I'm just trying to get the snowball rolling.  


The size and contents of the 'package' that you send is totally up to you, a single card in a PWE or a huge box, whatever you want.

Please don't just send a package that you were already going to send anyway, I am hoping to INCREASE the total # of cards making their way to others.

I will take all the eligible comments and randomize the list three times to get our winner, who will receive...


A bunch of thick cards!

Here are the actual cards you would receive:


And




And here is another pic with all of the thick cards stacked up

Some of them are very thick, and some are just slightly thicker than a regular card.  But they are cards I didn't feel like sending in a PWE due to their thickness.

So, any takers??

Pick me a Player #7 - Harmon Killebrew

  I have 137 different players in my keepers with at least 10 cards.  The players are listed at the end of this post.  In an effort to get myself posting more consistently, I invite the first commenter on this post to choose one of the players below and I will post 5 of the most interesting cards I have of that player as the subject of another blog post.  Then on that post, the first commenter can pick another player and when I get around to it, I will post 5 cards of that player, and so on. 

So who will be my first commenter/player picker on this post???  Additional comments are welcome, but only the first one will be the player featured on the next post.



The Seventh player picked to be featured in this series was picked by Crocodile of Crocodile Sports Cards, and is......

Harmon Killebrew!!

He's generally underappreciated outside of Minnesota and Idaho, but in those 2 states, there are an awful lot of Killebrew fans!  A good guy and incredibly powerful for his frame, Killebrew is one I think of as a niche collection, where I mostly want his playing days stuff.

Cards of Harmon Killebrew that I would like to add to my keepers:
1. 1968 Topps #490 (Killebrew, Mays and Mantle)!!!
2. 1955 Topps, duh, the RC
3. 1964 Topps, I always liked the set

My uncles sort of collected through the late 50's to mid 60's.  When I went through their incredibly beat up collection for them a few years ago, I found 3 Killebrew autographs, likely gotten in person by my grandpa.  They lived in Idaho at the time.  The autos were on the 58, 59 and 64 Topps cards.  Pretty cool.



OK, on to the five cards I selected...no particular order.



1. 2017 Topps Tribute Green #/99


Strange color scheme, but I still like this card.







2. 1972 Topps


Killebrew is looking kind of old here, but I bet that bat could still knock the photographer out if he kept swinging.







3. 1971 Topps


The distant gaze....  You saw this on a lot of cards in this period.







4. 1962 Topps #316


This card is very cool to me.  Well presented.  I also quite like the Super Special Star cards from 80's Fleer where they showed a player's swing in several frames, like 'Schmidt-In-Action'.









5. 1959 Topps
No longer looking old, Harmon looks like a ballplayer in his prime here.  I don't even care that it is off centered!

Pick me a Player #6 - Ted Williams

      I have 137 different players in my keepers with at least 10 cards.  The players are listed at the end of this post.  In an effort to get myself posting more consistently, I invite the first commenter on this post to choose one of the players below and I will post 5 of the most interesting cards I have of that player as the subject of another blog post.  Then on that post, the first commenter can pick another player and when I get around to it, I will post 5 cards of that player, and so on. 

So who will be my first commenter/player picker on this post???  Additional comments are welcome, but only the first one will be the player featured on the next post.



The Fifth player picked to be featured in this series was picked by Matt, and is......

Ted Williams!!

Before the actual 5 cards I chose, which are all vintagey, I wanted to show a few modern Teddys.

I certainly like the Stadium Club cards of old time players, especially if they have good pics.  And serial Numbered legends are nice too!



Cards of Ted Williams that I would like to add to my keepers:
1. As mentioned above, there are several more Stadium Club Williams cards that look cool to me.  
2. Obviously, ANY playing days card of Ted.
3. The Topps SSP Legends variations of Ted are awesome too!





OK, on to the five cards I selected...no particular order.



1. 1959 Fleer Ted Williams 



Though cards with Babe Ruth looking old kind of bum me out, the Babe and Ted on one card is pretty cool.







2. 1971 Topps


Of the 3 or 4 cards that feature Ted as a manager, this is my favorite, as the mid-laugh phot makes me happy.







3. 1959 Fleer Ted Williams 



Another 59 Fleer, this is actually kind of a silly card.







4. 1961 Fleer Baseball Greats

Are ALL of my vintage cards super beat up?  Yes they are.  The yellow on this card kind of glows a little in hand.  Not bad









5. 1952 Wheaties
My favorite Williams.  I guess these were cut out of Wheaties boxes.  Mine is in pretty bad shape.  The corners are supposed to be nicely rounded, and the ink stain is unsightly.  Don't care much, as I have a 1952 Ted Williams!

Pick me a Player #5 - Frank Robinson

     I have 137 different players in my keepers with at least 10 cards.  The players are listed at the end of this post.  In an effort to get myself posting more consistently, I invite the first commenter on this post to choose one of the players below and I will post 5 of the most interesting cards I have of that player as the subject of another blog post.  Then on that post, the first commenter can pick another player and when I get around to it, I will post 5 cards of that player, and so on. 

So who will be my first commenter/player picker on this post???  Additional comments are welcome, but only the first one will be the player featured on the next post.



The Fifth player picked to be featured in this series was picked by Nachos Grande, and is......

Frank Robinson!!


Cards of Frank Robinson that I would like to add to my keepers:
1. A RC, of course! 
2. The 1964 and 1969 Topps (cool shot)
3. 1983 Donruss #648 (dirt cheap, but I think it is cool)


First, a couple Robinsons that aren't in my Keepers, but that I quite like for sentimental reasons.  
I was 10 years old when these cards came out.  (Robinson had a manager card in 82 Donruss, but I seem to have not seen that one)  I remember it being a big deal that Robinson was the first black manager in MLB.  These were certainly the first cards of a black manager that the young me had come across.  I still remember the feeling of awe that he was the first...


OK, on to the five cards I selected...no particular order.



1. 1976 SSPC


This set is cool.  Strange photography is my main draw to it.  









2. 2001 Donruss All-Time Diamond Kings #/2500

This set is great.  If you have any you want to part with, send them my way.  They have a depth to the design that I like, and obviously, Diamond Kings, duh.








3. 1966 Topps Rub Offs
This is pretty beat up and fragile.  But also quite a cool piece.











4. 1972 Topps (High Number)
The only Topps card from Robinson's playing days that I remember, this one always tickled me.









5. 1960 Topps
My oldest Robinson, like most of my vintage, it's pretty beat up.
