A few oddballs from his playing days. I am missing his 1962 and 1966 Topps cards to have the whole run of playing days cards. I need to rectify that.
Where they came from -
- Sportslots (32 cards)
- Just Commons/Card Barrel (17 cards)
- Ebay (16 cards)
- COMC (15 cards)
- Too Many Verlanders (13 cards)
- Baseballcardstore.ca (4 cards)
- Crinkly Wrappers (2 cards)
- Card Show/Kalamazoo (1 card)
- Media Madhouse (1 card)
- Sluggo (1 card)
- the Collective Mind (1 card)
- Unknown (1 card)
I don't have any autographs or relics so I figured I'd show a few of the better looking more modern cards. Most of them have a blue background, you can tell I like it when the cards match the teams.
Happy Birthday, Billy
*I have all the cards shown but the photos above are from TCDB.
I like that little 7 of clubs card.
ReplyDeleteIt is very little and paper like. I googled and it's only 2 1/4" tall, that's how small. They seem like somebody just photocopied a card but that's what they are supposed to look and feel like.
DeleteIf someone asked me how many cards Williams had, I would have guessed 500 or so. 1,695 is shocking.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised as well. I didn't think they made many cards of him anymore but apparently they had.
