All right, I'm still not quite out of the woods as far as time constraints.
Some of that is my own doing, you know, blog post ideas that take a bunch of research and scans. But that gives you something to look forward to, right?
But for now it's another quick post of cards I obtained -- but they're vintage cards and super sharp, too! That's got to be appealing to someone.
All three of the cards I acquired from Daniel on Twitter. They are all high-ish numbered cards in the 1967 set and that makes me super-happy. He mentioned that the Steve Blass card is suitable for grading. I don't care about that at all, I just want the nifty card.
I just found out the other day that this card was taken on Opening Day in 1967. You can see the celebratory bunting behind Blass' left shoulder, if you aren't distracted by the person in the stands with the checkered shirt.
This card looked very familiar to me, in fact I feared for a moment that I already owned it. But that's 1969 reusing photos tricking me again. This image of Rico Petrocelli appears on both his '67 and '69 Topps cards.
I love the ballpark backdrop, you can see a whole lot in '67 cards.
Final card is of Kansas City A's shortstop Dagoberto Campaneris. Sharp as well!
Freaking love the house in the background. I know it's not a house house, but I will forever pretend that someone is in the kitchen making pies in there. Also I'm pretending that the structure to the right above the gathered players is an above-ground swimming pool with a deck.
That's all the sharp vintage for you today. It's nice to make some progress on this set, but I know I'll hit a wall that's impossible to clear at some point.
In other progress news, I just finished my recent article for Beckett Vintage Collector today. Just need to look it over and gather some images to send. I may have gone overboard on the story length -- oops.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have some regularly scheduled posts for the rest of the week. We'll see.
