Still trying to balance the blogging with the new addition to the family. Still trying to get back to a couple bloggers on trades we had started so please bear with me.
I did get a nice little PWE from a seller on Sportlots. This is someone who tends to list quite a bit of vintage with all prices starting at a quarter. I have greatly enhanced my Giants vintage collection and this little package didn't disappoint. Here are the two cards from the package:
The card on the left is obviously a 1959 card of Jackie Brandt, nothing too special but it did knock a need off my list. For a quarter I couldn't pass it up. I am down to needing 8 cards for this team set but it's completion is pretty far off. I need 2 Willie Mays cards and 2 Orlando Cepeda cards amongst the 8 but I will slowly pick away. More exiting to me was this Carl Hubbell. This is catalog
ed as a
1950-56 Callahan HOF W576 and as best I can tell there are 5 Giants in this set. Hubbell is the first one I have gotten but I do have a second on the way. I scanned it next to the Brandt to show the size - a Mini! I really like the art work on the front, a portrait of King Carl showing his fastball grip and a smaller, full body picture of him winding to throw. A great looking card!
I also scanned the back to show this lengthy detailed write up. There is tons of info on this card back, enjoy. I particularly like the final paragraph including how his "greatness is mental, moral and physical". A very cool write up.
