....a few '70 cards that Johnny might get a kick out of. Got the team pic hiding in the box somewhere.

Weizzy: Thanks a ton for the pictures. I was in a used bookstore Tuesday and, on a whim, I bought Jim Bouton's Ball Four, which I hadn't read since I was a teen-ager (only read it 1,000 times back then), and I'm loving it. The cards brought back stories of a lot of the players pictured. No Bouton card though.

....

Nice! :tup

got any old dick allen or richie ashburn?

Oh, that's right! I forgot that you're originally a Philly guy. Ya know, I don't have his Philly card.....just the Cards & White Sox ones. Toward the end, he was something of a bad penny, wasn't he? ...traded around to 3 or 4 teams in as many years I think?

My pleasure. Sorry that the scan was so weak. Used a camera and had to reduce it down to that 100 mb level. I need to figure out how to upload pics to a site and then post. :crazy:

I collected cards in the mid-1960s and industriously wrote on every card when a player was traded or released or retired. I would write in the name of his new team, or the word "Released" or "Retired". So almost all of my cards were considerably lowered in value.

I had a Pete Rose rookie card, where Pete's face is one of four player's faces on the card, and I wrote something under all four of them--the card was almost covered with my writing. A card shop owner bought it and put it on the wall with a little sign which read "I was angry one day and look what I did."

That's the one I wrote all over. For example, under Ken McMullen I wrote Washington Senators, which covered about 1/4 of the card's surface. Under Al Weis I wrote New York Mets. Under Pete Rose I crossed out 2B and wrote Outfield. I can't remember what I wrote under Pedro Gonzalez.

Stinks? :g Or maybe just Cleveland Indians.

Long Live Horace Clarke!

Soul, where do you get those? .....and how do people go about getting cards graded like some of the ones that showed up on this thread? How many reputable grading companies are there?
