A month or so ago I blogged about my sorting activities of some early 70's sets and Greg of
Night Owl fame reached out. It seems he and I are treading the same water, trying to complete sets from 1969 and 1970. I recently received a package from Greg and thought I'd show off those cards.
These three are nice additions to the '69 set. I never knew Joe Niekro was once a Cub.
With some letters showing on the upper right, I almost thought the Cisco was cut from a magazine, but it is cut oddly. Nevertheless, the 6 cards pushed my '69 completion rate to 63%.
Welcome additions to my 1970 set build.
The Spiezio is a high number and the cap on Melton looks like a nice airbrushing. These cards helped push my set completion over 85%! Only 152 cards left.
Finally I have cards to giveaway. For those who replied in the anniversary post, let's spin the wheel!
Congrats Bo! I'll get this box in the mail ASAP!
Ha. I was as far away as possible.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, bad boy McLain edges out Boog for the win.
I just received your return send last night! I forgot all about the '69s (and the TV cards)!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI probably have some '69s and '70s I can send you, if you don't mind rough condition.
And an hour after I post this comment I got your last generous mailing! Thank you!
DeleteNice vintage cards, and congrats to Bo!
