Great looking Merlin Olsen card! I always liked the "Fearsome Foursome" nickname for the defensive line he was a part of.

1967 Stancraft NFL Playing Cards Teams
Latest addition to the collection and the pursuit of all 16 teams.

Got a boxed version of:

Minnesota Vikings

Since it was boxed the Jokers look like this:

The box is in pretty good shape. It is so good I can't tell what card they used to paste onto the box to identify the team. My Packers Box used the 9 of Diamonds, and my Rams deck is sealed so no box/no card glued to box.

On My Card Blog in this entry Stancraft Playing Cards I mention some of the details of these playing cards from the late 1960s. They are no older than 1967 because of the inclusion of the New Orleans Saints in the "set". I first remember seeing them when my brother had a Redskins deck in the late 60s early 70s.

Set completion: 3/16

Wow! Those 1954 Bowman cards are amazing looking!

[edgerrin32]

WOW, I cant believe I have never seen this topic before!

I went through and looked at every post and read all the stuff about them. Very sweet collection, many different places you have went with it. Some cool items. The mascot card were pretty funny, I remember when they used to do those and the were kinda cool to pull.

But great collection and I hope to see more cool stuff.

[captkirk42]

Thanks guys!

Wow! Those 1954 Bowman cards are amazing looking!

Thanks I love the team logos. I also like the colorizing thing going on. I think they were b&w photos hand colored but I could be wrong they could be very early color photos.

WOW, I cant believe I have never seen this topic before! 

Guess you were too busy concentrating on your own collection.

I went through and looked at every post and read all the stuff about them. Very sweet collection, many different places you have went with it. Some cool items. The mascot card were pretty funny, I remember when they used to do those and the were kinda cool to pull.

But great collection and I hope to see more cool stuff.   

Again thanks. Yeah I go all over the place. Right now I'm concentrating on Vintage 50s-70s and my Homie Teams.

There will be more stuff added to this thread as I find time to scan stuff and come up with how to present them. My biggest problem lately has been trying to remember what I've posted here, and what I have posted at my blogger/blogspot blog CaptKirk42's Trading Card Blog. As I post to one I try to post to the other as well, but I like to switch up the presentation sometimes. I'm not just one of those Orioles/Cal Ripken collectors or Redskins/Whoever the current QB is collectors.

ORIGINAL "OLDEST CARD" IN MY COLLECTION.

I give a bit more detail on this card in my Blogspot Trading Card Blog so I'll be a little brief here. This 1960 Topps Football 123 Ralph Guglielmi card holds the distinct honor of having been the oldest card in my collection. For many years this card was the oldest. For sometime now I have had some Football and Baseball cards from the 1950s and some non-sport tobacco cards. One from the 1930s of a "Girl of the World" and some reprints of some 19th century or early 20th century military type tobacco cards (that might be 1920s reprints) I have to double check on those I thought I blogged about them here at TCC but I searched my entire TCCBlog and didn't see mention. UGH.

Anyway here is the "Poor Old Football Card" that served the longest as my Oldest card. As you can see there is a nasty tear/crease in the bottom half that is taped to keep the card together.

1972 Topps Roman Gabriel Pro Action Rams 128


1961 Topps John Paluck Redskins 130

That photo of John Paluck reminds me of actor David Leisure AKA: Joe Isuzu.

Cool stuff thanks for sharing! And the first one might grade gem mint! The tape will for sure get a 10. I'm just messing with you, I have some cards that are pretty ruff, non with tape but some that kinda need it!

[Nine]

I really like that Ralph Guglielmie card! Call me crazy, but I think it adds something to the look of vintage cards when they're all beat up like that.

[Cool_Hand_Flash]

Sooo many cool cards man! Great collection

[captkirk42]

Sooo many cool cards man! Great collection

Wow thanks. A lot of folks say nice cards or cool pickups but that is the first time I recall someone saying "Great Collection".

I've got a pretty cool latest entry on my card blog Mystery of Cut Signature Solved.

Long story short I figured something out about this card:

I originally wasn't going to pursue this mystery but as I say in my blog entry I saw something on Ebay that got me to thinking about it.

Through a little detective work I found out what it was cut from, and was a little disappointed and slightly disgusted in the same way GUs disgust me by the fact that it was cut from older memorabilia. I don't know the exact origins of the post card it came from but it came from one of these post cards signed in about the same place:

I would love to find one of those original post cards and others from the series, even without any signatures. Unfortunately the ones with signatures are pretty expensive when they are around.

Not cards but memorabilia. I made a ustream video of my Nationals/Senators Caps collection.

My Nats Hats
It isn't great but at least it shows the general idea of each hat. I might try to do a screen capture on them sometime or figure out some way to snap better pictures, not sure if my cell phone will be any better or not. I've got a digital camera if it still works and if I remember which cord is the right one to use for it, it's been ages since I've used it.

(Ustream turns me into rainman, definitely rainman)

In case you missed my post in the "steals" section. I got two sweet Willie Mays Post Cereal cards the 1961 and 1962.

Made a short video showing off my Christmas Haul
Xmas 2012 Haul video short

I got a few more things than I showed but only a few and they were not interesting to folks here, who likes reading about the jams and jellies I got from my Bro and his wife in NC (the bro and wife I mention in the video is my other bro). Its basically stuff my SinLaw picks out and sends while my bro may or maynot even know what was sent. LOL.

Then today I got some vintage stuff (and some of it looks it) from Ebay for $7.99 + $4.15 shipping

It was mostly for the Senators pictures (4.25x7) that look like they came from a magazine? yearbook maybe? Very yellowed and all have pushpin or staple holes. they are from 1970 (since there is Aurelio Rodriguez and it looks like he was only a Senator in 1970):
Dick Bosman
Ed Brinkman
Paul Casanova
Joe Coleman
Mike Epstein
Frank Howard (main reason I picked up this lot)
Aurelio Rodriguez
Ed Stroud

1970 Topps Scratch Off Inserts none of them have the back scorecard written on but one of them has a square on the inside scratched off. These even have some pin holes someone must have had a bulletin cork board.
Luis Aparicio White Sox
Sam McDowell Indians
Claude Osteen Dodgers
Willie Stargell Pirates (on inside second square top row scratched off to reveal "Double Play")

Then two 1970 Topps Story Booklets
8 Tony Oliva Twins
18 Rusty Staub Expos - Only the "cover" page missing the inside page (pages 3-6) I might have to use it as some kind of decoration or find a huge Rusty Staub collector who doesn't really care its incomplete.
