I try to snag 'em when I can get them reasonable (which isn't often) because they're gorgeous and they fascinate me (well, the 57-58 not so much, just something I started collecting for kicks a long time ago). I've got maybe half a dozen of the Kabaya-Leaf. Beautiful cards. Don't understand a word of it.<br /><br />I'm pretty easy to deal with. Surely you can think of something for a few dupes I'd be just as happy to be rid of (none of the biggies, mind you; no Alcindor or Wilt or Pistol Pete--but I do have a spare Big O or two).Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-59065097710454038862014-04-03T22:53:06.086-05:002014-04-03T22:53:06.086-05:00What a neat set!

I think I like it because it has those '59 Topps-ish cards.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-28237577376585379662014-04-03T17:23:11.796-05:002014-04-03T17:23:11.796-05:00I just finished this set earlier this year.

They only ever got series one in my neighborhood, so I was missing most of series two (had picked up a few along the way), including Maravich. But I won a large lot (including Maravich) and found myself just about 8-10 cards short of the set. At that point, I had to finish it. Now I just want to get me a wax wrapper to complete the experience. I probably have a few dupes if you've got anything interesting to trade. 1967 Leaf-Kabaya? T-205s? Or probably open to much more pedestrian goods, especially Mets.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-33849734414819364692014-04-03T13:42:11.135-05:002014-04-03T13:42:11.135-05:00I love these vintage basketball cards.
