And Now for Some Vintage Non-Sport From 1953 Topps. World On Wheels 1953 TOPPS
This Non-Sport series is made up of classic cars, sport cars, military vehicles and futuristic looking cars. The designs remind me of the pictures on the boxes of old model car kits. I got 4 of these from Ebay a little while back. Took me a while to remember to scan them and then come up with something to say about them. My favorite of the four is the first one card #38 Kenz Twin Ford. It reminds me of the cars the bad guys like Snake would drive in the Speed Racer Cartoons. The basic low-down on this set is Topps released series one cards 1 - 160 in 1953 they have info about the subject car in the picture on the back. There is another little trivia box on the back that talks about something else entirely. Series two contains cards 161 - 180 and were released in 1954 I don't have any of those yet. Cards 161-170 have the same Red Backs like series one and cards 171-180 are the Blue Backs. At least that is what my research on these has shown me so far. I'll know for sure if I ever get the rest of the series. I say more about this set on my Trading Cards Blog

1967? Stancraft NFL Playing Cards One of my pet projects is to get the set of these sweet 1960s/70s cards. A little back history on them. In 1965 Photographer and Artist David Boss made a series of paintings that would become the first set of NFL team posters. These paintings were then put on the game programs the following season, and either then or in the next year (1967) put on playing cards. At the time the NFL just had 16 teams. The AFL was a different entity so those teams are not part of this set. The blog The Fleer Sticker Project has most if not all of the pictures of these paintings. He has a link to a Dallas Cowboys collector who pointed him out to these card decks. I've known about these decks since around the time they came out as my brother had (and probably still does have) a deck of the Washington Redskins. We played with that deck about as much as we did with all the other playing card decks we had in our house which meant we wore them out. In recent years I have gotten the Los Angeles Rams deck. Still sealed but without a box. I am on the hunt for a deck with the box. More recently I got the Green Bay Packers deck complete with box. There are two types of Jokers that were produced. Now according to Mr. Cowboy they are different because one is the Poker Sized Version and the other Bridge sized He calls "Nu-Vue Style" (I think "Nu-Vue" actually referrers to the plastic coating or possibly the manufacturer). However his explanation doesn't quite work because His "Poker" style image clearly says "Bridge" on the Ace of Spades card he shows. The joker from that style is what my Rams deck is, I don't know about the Ace of Spades because my deck is sealed and only the Joker is showing in the back. My Packers deck which I got open with the box and both jokers has the style of Ace of Spade and Joker he calls "Nu-Vue Style". Now both of my decks are the same size card. The box for the Packers deck says "Bridge Size" on the bottom side. So both of my decks are Bridge sized. Until I get a Poker sized deck I won't be sure they had that size. If they do then my quest is doubled. I think it is more likely that this Joker: Is the original version and decks that come in boxes should have that style joker and the similar Ace of Spades. The other Aces are regular styled playing cards. While this Joker: Is either a later version, or the version for decks sold just in the plastic shrink wrap. These decks would have been displayed in a special display box or bin about 50 or so decks in the display depending on the size of the display box. It is interesting to not that for the box, at least in the case of my Packers Deck, the card design on the box is an actual card glued to the box (The 9 of Diamonds for my box). I'm trying to remember if my brother's deck was the same way. I think his had been bought with the box, and it might have been the same kind of deal (pardon the pun). So I am on the hunt for the other 14 teams (and a Rams deck in box). My requirements are they must be a full deck complete with both jokers and the box. I prefer the cool Joker version like I have with the Packers deck. I might consider some decks without a box (which will probably have the boring joker) but they must be complete and with both jokers. To fill in the gaps I might get some of those "single" cards that pop up every once in a while on Ebay just to have one of each kind of back. That will not complete the quest for 16 full decks though. This post has been edited by captkirk42: Mar 14 2010, 11:42 PM

I've started getting maildays again lately, they can be found in the Mail Day section. A few of the highlights include: FishStriped Auto: A cool 2010-11 Ovie: A Team Logo Sticker:A "Vintage" Ram:(Looks like a classic Sports Illustrated cover) And the WHITE WHALE: 1982 Topps Baseball #21 - Baltimore Orioles Future Stars Bob Bonner - Cal Ripken - Jeff Schneider for $12.24 delivered ($10.25 + $1.99 standard shipping) This card is often considered to be Cal's Official RC, as well as the usually more expensive 1982 Topps Traded #98T Good/Great just a tad less than Excellent condition (a little corner flaking) Bad delivered in PWE (with a forever stamp) and in an UltraPro "Cardsaver" (Like the pic below) no penny sleeve UGH. I gave only 3 stars (I wanted to give only 2.5 or less) for shipping on the feedback I said I expected a little more than a PWE for the shipping charged. I transferred it to a penny sleeve and toploader.
