This wasn't the first package that I received, but it allows me to start with a Jim Brown card, which I wanted to do since today is Jim Brown's 71st birthday.
This package comes from Jon at A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts.
2009 Topps National Chicle #C79 |
1994 Playoff - Playoff Club #PC-11 |
1994 Stadium Club - Bowman's Best Refractor #2 |
The scan is bright like a refractor but doesn't really show the colors that show up when I shine a flashlight at it. I needed the refractor for my collection, but sadly, since the card isn't numbered as a refractor on the back, I may have owned the refractor in the past. I may have to dig through doubles for the other cards in the set to see if I do actually have the refractors.
The main reason Jon reached out is that he said that he had some Mets for my Starting Lineup project.
L-R: 1967 Topps #105 and #165 |
L-R: 1967 Topps #186; 1972 Topps #346 |
I think that the Fregosi card will always keep his 1972 slot. It still has him in his Mets cap, but is part of a wonderful subset.
Thanks for the great cards, Jon, and when I get my act in gear, expect a return package.
I'm glad to see that they got there safely. That Jim Fregosi boyhood photos has always been one of my favorites from the '72 set, as it's not very often that you see an accordion featured so prominently on a sports card.
ReplyDelete+1 on Jim Brown. He was truly one of a kind.
