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.

Old School

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

I wasn't planning on posting today because it's my golf league day but since I didn't post yesterday, I'll spit one out.

This one may interest you more than the usual White Sox or Michigan posts. You get a vintage posts, I actually have a vintage post for each decade from the 50's to the 80's this month. Today you get the oldest.

All the photos are from TCDB as my scanner wasn't operational yet. My copies aren't this nice, mine show a little more love. All these came from my cousin whom just sent me another package that I'm trying to get through.

These 2 from 1959 give me 11 for the set. He always sends a bunch of Yankees in the vintage cards. Not sure how he ends up with so many as they come from multiple peoples collections. You wouldn't think there would be so many Yankee fans in North Carolina.

3 more Yankees, good thing I don't care when the cards are this old. These 5 cards give me 21 cards in the 1958 set.

Just one card from 1956 and you guess it, a Yankee. This is card number 4 from 1956.

Also one card from 1955 and it's not a Yankee. Man I love these cards from the 1950's, they are so plain compared to cards these days but I don't care, they are still awesome. This card gives me 7 cards for that set.

Last but definitely not least, 5 Yankees from 1953. My copies of these 5 cards are definitely not this pretty, they are well loved but that doesn't mean anything to me. These 5 cards give me 9 cards from the 1953 set. Oddly enough, all 9 cards are Yankees. I know some of the others came from Sluggo as well, probably all of them.

Sluggo - Vintage (1962-1960)

I'm back with more free vintage goodies from my cousin, who informed me the other day he has another box for me. I'll probably get it when he takes it in to work to ship it. He's allowed to ship on the company dime so it never costs him anything. Wouldn't that be nice?

Today we are going to finish off the 60's. Yesterday we finished on 1963 so guess where we're starting today?

That's right, 1962, and only 1 Yankee. These 2 from the original wood grain set give me 12 cards for a 1.7% completion. Not sure why I bother listing the percentage when it's that low. I have a little more in the next set listed.

Ohh, there's the Yankees. The guy he bought this collection off was definitely a Yankee fan. These 6 cards from the 1960 Topps set put that one at 41 cards (told you it was more) which is a little over 7% completed. I knew I had a bunch from this set because I picked up a bunch of White Sox from it at a card show a few years ago. As a matter of fact, out of those 41 cards I have, only 13 of them aren't White Sox, and that includes the above 6.

He also gave me some non Vintage collection cards, but only because I only collect the base sets from the big 3.

Gotta love the oddball sets. I would buy a ton of cereal if they started putting cards back on the boxes.

Guess what? I'm not done, I have some even older cards to show off in my next post. We'll be hitting the 50's.

Sluggo - Vintage (1969-1963)

I'm back with more vintage from Sluggo, today will hit on the 60's, 1969-1963 to be exact. Once again, be prepared to see a lot of Yankees.

Just 1 card from the 1969 set. This card gives me 49 cards from that set which puts it at 7% completed.

These 2 from 1968 give me 39 cards from this set which puts it at 6.5% complete. To be honest, I don't really remember picking up that many cards of either set but that's what it says I have.

While I do recognize a couple of the names above, I really recognize this one. This 1966 Topps makes 34 cards and 5.7% completed.

I do like the pennants on this set, now if it didn't have that pink. As you should know, if the cards are going to have a solid border, it should at least be a color of the team represented. These 2 from the 1965 set make 24 cards and 4% completed.

This is my 24th card from the 1964 set. This might be my favorite set from the 60's but I couldn't really tell you an exact reason for that. This set is also at 4% completed.

Considering every other card on this post is a posed shot, that Yanks World Series card is probably my favorite from this post. These 4 cards boost my 1963 set to 12 cards and 2% completed.

I still have 2 more posts of vintage from Sluggo. Will we make it to the 50's and if so, how far? Or did I get a bunch of 1962-1960 and that's the last 2 posts. Stay tuned to find out.
