Random 60's Vintage

* I put my April incoming on random for today's post.

You already saw the Vintage post from the 50's, today's random puts us a decade later.

I'll start with the lone 1969. This is my 48th card of that set. I have a few of these leader cards, they are generally much cheaper for some big names.

Two pretty good names for the 1968 set. The 2nd Bob Gibson of this post already. So far no Yankees either unlike the 50's post. These 2 cards make 40 on the 1968 set.

My lone 1966 card and it's a Mickey Mantle, sorta. I certainly don't mind checklist, especially when they are part of the set. I prefer the ones like these that do have something to collect on them as well. This is the 34th card in my collection of this set.

Also one card from 1965 and another leader card where you get 3 pretty good players. This is only my 25th card from the mid 60's set.

We had a couple of Yankees up there but like the 50's post, there's a bunch more coming. This 1963 gives me 14 cards, a long way to go.

With 1 less card at 13, this original wood board card, and another Yankee. A rookie at that.

And 2 more Yankees but those are some big name Yankees, and being vintage instead of the millions of reprints just make it cooler. These 2 1961's give me 20 for the set.

Another White Ford and even older, I'll take it. This Whitey Ford gives me 42 cards from 1960. I remember buying a bunch of White Sox from 1960 which is why I have more from that set than the others. Out of those 42, 27 are from the White Sox.

All of the above cards came from Sluggo, who should be on his way to Indiana as we speak, with another box of cards.

Vintage additions (1977-1974)

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise said) and all were under $.50/shipped.

Last post you saw the vintage from 1978-1980. Tonight, we'll finish the vintage purchases from the last couple of weeks.

This 1977 Topps brings me to 5.3% (35 of 660).

Not much to say about this card that hasn't been said before. You gotta love the Expos colors.

These 2 1976 Topps put me at 21.52% completed (142 of 660).

Not a huge fan of this set and these 2 cards of the Braves show why. I think the set would be pretty cool if they had used the team colors on the cards instead of the oddball colors that they do. I do like the logo for second base though.

These 4 1975 Topps put me at 3.03% completed (20 of 660).

My feelings about the 1975 set are pretty much the same as the 1976 set, should have used the team colors and the set would have been better.

These 4 1974 Topps put me at 11.36% (75 of 660).

I don't mind the 1974 Topps set, at least I do more than the previous 2. I do wish more vintage sets would have used team logos on the front of cards.

That's all of my vintage pick ups from the last couple of weeks. My next posts will do with the player pick-ups. I also got confirmation that my Just Commons shipment got mailed today so hopefully I'll have that by the end of the week.
