A few incoming

 I still have a few more incoming packages to get posted here.

These are Dover reprints from GCC. These I am pretty sure I need. Gotta love any Babe Ruth Braves cards reprint or not. These are about half of John sent, I still need to identify the reprint year on the others. Thanks John.

Now this is not a reprint. It is the last Braves card that I needed for my 51' Topps. Now TCDB lists this as a Hartfield card and not a Braves card. I count it as the variation of the Braves card #52. Fuji won this on Ebay and had the seller send it directly to me. It was in a PSA graded case, but I wasted no time popping it out of that prison.  Thanks Mark.

The above batch came from a recent trade with Bo. Half of these were upgrades and the other half are now haves that need to be upgraded. It is obvious which are which. Thanks Bo.

This should clear out the incoming file for a little while. 

1966 Batman: Red Bats with puzzle pieces

 Okay made it to the last of the Batman cards. 

You see that I didn't have much for the Batman puzzle, especially not when it comes to dupes. Reminder that the puzzles are 6-10 cards each.

Missing three for the Robin puzzle. (dupes that is).

The Riddler is complete.

Needing two for Catwoman.

Half of the Penguin.

Need two for the Joker.

After showing the Batman puzzle piece for the set build this is the only two I have for the puzzle build (dupes).

I am happy to have finally put these cards into a binder. The stack of what I had had been laying around for 11 years. Moving from place to place.....not anymore.

More Batman

 We've made our way to the Topps Blue Bats. Unfortunately I only own 11 of the Topps. Odd for me to unknowingly acquire all but three of the OPC cards.

Should be pretty easy to hit the missing cards in this set.... that is if you can ever find the Topps Blue Bats in the wild. 

Next week we can look at the Red Bats and their puzzles (sort of).

1966 Batman round two

 Picking right up where I left off yesterday with the Black Bat before moving into the well you'll see.

Okay that finishes the Black Bat portion. Now we will move into the Blue Bat portion, just NOT Topps. Nope, these are O-pee-chee Batman cards, and nearly the entire set.

I must say here that the backs are certainly different. They contain puzzle pieces.. Lots of different characters too. Each having their own puzzle ranging from 6 cards to 10 cards. With that said, I don't have any extras to put together the puzzles from the OPC set. I have however scanned the backs on the last scan so that you can see how they differ from the Black set.

There you can see the first two cards I am missing for OPC set.

Another missing card.

Missing a whopping 3 cards to complete the set. Well, unless you count the dupes needed for the puzzles.

That is a bit different although there is still a story line that you can follow. Don't be too disappointed without the puzzles here. The Topps Blue Bat set also differs on the backs from that of OPC and no puzzle at all that is until we get to the Red Bat Topps set.

1966 Batman.

 When it comes to non sports cards I tend to like the vintage cards especially that from my birth year: 1966. I've made a habit of scooping up any 1966 Batman cards from the cheap boxes for the last fifteen years or so. It didn't matter if they were black bat, blue bat, or red bat series. There is also a couple that don't fit into those sets or categories too.

I kept these cards over the years in a stack setting somewhere within my house. Well, last show in Jax, Daryl had a box of them. Misc. black, blue, and red bats. I counted them there was exactly 100 cards. I made a deal with a little back and forth. I brought them home, and decided to finally put them into a binder. Over the course of about a week I will show the cards as they are in the binder starting tonight. 

The first page in the binder are just three cards from the Bat Laffs set. I only have three cards, and you can see which ones I have. 

The second page begins the Black Bat series. I purposely scanned the cards in the pages so that you can tell which cards I am missing. 

I have also scanned the cards backs so that you can read the story lines.

Many of you already know that I am not a fan of horizontal cards, just not my thing. This probably wouldn't be as big of an issue for me when EVERY card is oriented the same way. This set is not including the backs.

I am going to stop here for the night. I have more from the Black Bat series.

Close out on Doc's dime cards

 Made through another series of so called dime cards in this case nickel cards.

With doc's closeout tonight that brings us to the other purchase I made at the April card show in Jax. It came via Daryl and was of the vintage variety, just not sports cards. Definitely will have several posts to cover the 100 cards that I brought home and added to what I already had. Any guesses as to what the subject is? Huh? Come on, throw something out there.
