Traded for a Grail card

 My first mini collection, even before Bubbles, was Sunset cards of HOF'ers since 1950.  I have originals 

of all but three.   I'm down to two.  Made a trade for a 1958 Bell Brand Roy Campanella.



My Sunset criteria is year after they stopped playing with stats on the back.  Picked up in a trade for 69 Yaz Transogram and a hi number.

The other 2 cards I need are not easy.  53 Satchel Paige and a 56 Jackie Robinson.


Added to my Flip collection.  Pussy Galore flipping James Bond.


Another oddball.  Talk about a twinkle in your eye.


I've been also collecting oddball Griffey, Ryan, Ripken and Bo's.


A new parallel from Stadium, Bronze.   Anybody else notice that the quality of the Stadium cards this year has dropped.


Another trade for an Exhibit.

  1. Yeah, TSC was a BIG disappointment this year.

  2. I agree, Stadium Club was disappointing. Not only was it a long wait, and smaller set but the design was poor. (And only 4 Royals 👎)
    Congratulations on getting another Sunset card! The 53 Paige is a grail card for me.

  3. Pretty cool to have a transogram available for trade. Flip cards are interesting - I should browse through my nonsports to see if I have any

  4. That sunset collection is a really cool project. I'm a big fan of seeing sunset cards with full career stats on the back.

Zero to go

 I finished my list of #'d future and current HOF'ers from 1950 on.  A little over 250 players.  I was able to  trade for all except...
