Post War Cards

ICYMI

@OggsCards Not a bad deal!

@PostWarCards Dunno if my 7-11 and Stop&Go math works… but $1.20 would have bought the whole frigging box of cards?

So. Those blank backed Topps super FB cards are more common than I thought…look for an update next week.

Today, in NL 258, a pair of auction recaps, @collect_rea and @Lelandsdotcom postwarcards.substack.com/p/the-post-war…

Out now :)

Since today's UMR featured 1948 Bowman BK unopened related material, I figured today's Item from Auctions Past, from The Post War Cards Hobby Library, should be the highlights of a completely graded 1948 Bowman BK set that Mastro sold in November 1999.

I could write a lot about Johnston’s Cookies Braves cards, but why try to outdo Bob Lemke? Sharing his 1981 deep dive from Baseball Cards Magazine: postwarcards.com/johnstons-cook…

Goudey or Diamond Stars?

I am thrilled to report that I have finally completed the 1971 Topps baseball set. It's one of my all-time favorite designs.

@Russ1Prentice 🤷‍♂️

@PostWarCards The Kaline makes sense, it’s just a highlight card. But the Ted is exactly the same as his 1960 Fleer card, just a 1961 version.

Collectors chase rookies—but what about a player’s final card? I ranked the last cards of 13 post-war legends postwarcards.com/ranking-the-fi…

@Russ1Prentice And psacard.com/psasetregistry…

@Russ1Prentice But they’re not in the basic registry: psacard.com/psasetregistry… for example.

@Russ1Prentice When I first built the list ( a few years ago) I just used whatever was last on PSA’s basic player set registry.

@PostWarCards These are cards from the player’s final year, not their final card, right?
