More New Acquisitions

I was so pleased with the 16 cards from a recent purchase, that I jumped right back into the pool and bought 10 more cards. I now need only 12 to complete the set. 

 

I have my suspicions that the Norm Cash card may be a counterfeit or reprint.  The card stock feels the same as the others, but the front is a darker gray, the back is a brighter white, and it was unexpectedly inexpensive for a 50-year-old Norm Cash card.

(Felix Millan and Ted Kubiak are still on their way) 

611 – Norm Cash
683 – Reds Rookies
688 – Ted Kubiak
689 – Frank Tepedino
705 – Tony Cloninger
708 – Jose Santiago
709 – Mike Fiore
710 – Felix Millan
714 – Al Spangler
716 – Cardinals Rookies

This is my first card of Frank Tepedino, and possibly Mike Fiore too (unless he's in the 1972 set).

 

 

Still needed to complete the set are these cards:

189 – Yankees Rookies (Thurman Munson)
580 – Pete Rose
600 – Willie Mays
634 – Bud Harrelson
640 – Al Kaline
660 – Johnny Bench
665 – Jim Lonborg
699 – Hank Aguirre
700 – Frank Robinson
702 – AL Rookies
712 – Nolan Ryan
715 – Mickey Lolich

New Acquisitions

Last week I emerged from my pandemic hibernation and bought some baseball cards for the first time in almost 2 years. I snared 16 vintage 1970 cards on my want list, which leaves me with only 22 cards to complete the set.

Almost all the remaining cards I needed were high numbers. Joining my binder are #590 Mike Cuellar, and these 15 high numbers: 

647 – Tom Matchick
664 – Bob Robertson
667 – Bob Meyer
669 – White Sox Rookies
675 – Jose Cardenal
678 – Dave Duncan
679 – Ray Sadecki
685 – Tom Haller
691 – Joe Grzenda
695 – Bobby Knoop
697 – Jim Hannan
704 – Frank Baker
717 – Tom Phoebus
719 – Jim Roland
720 – Rick Reichardt

 

Still to go are these cards:

611 – Norm Cash
634 – Bud Harrelson
665 – Jim Lonborg
683 – Reds Rookies
688 – Ted Kubiak
689 – Frank Tepedino
699 – Hank Aguirre
702 – AL Rookies
705 – Tony Cloninger
708 – Jose Santiago
709 – Mike Fiore
710 – Felix Millan
714 – Al Spangler
715 – Mickey Lolich
716 – Cardinals Rookies

 

What’s that you say? That’s only 15 cards? Oh yeah, these 7 also:

189 – Yankees Rookies (Thurman Munson)
580 – Pete Rose
600 – Willie Mays
640 – Al Kaline
660 – Johnny Bench
700 – Frank Robinson
712 – Nolan Ryan

I have no expectations that I will get those last 7.
