I'd love to dig thru their archives and look at notes, proofs and stuff like that. I know they sell stuff off but I figure the really old stuff is long gone.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-15333885895654156932017-05-10T13:56:33.287-05:002017-05-10T13:56:33.287-05:00Great list.

I'd love to one day add his rookie card to my collection... but I think the 64 Standup is probably more my speed.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-24366019900524038942017-05-09T19:44:54.108-05:002017-05-09T19:44:54.108-05:00I wonder about the 57 card - is he posing in front...I wonder about the 57 card - is he posing in front of something orange, or did Topps paint the background? A lot of the cards from that set feature the green grass and blue skies of Spring / Summer baseball, but there are also a handful of those that look painted. Jim Bunning's rookie card comes to mind.
