I woke up this morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a a little World Cup preview show-knowing that until my wife is able to watch with me I will be on a media blackout as we say so we can watch together. So, knowing I would need to avoid the computer, my phone, and any T.V or radio that would possibly mention who won but I needed to get an update on what is going on out there. <br />

As a result I decided to read through Yahoo and Google news-to my great joy this guy is no more and the madness of his reign is over! Now I can go back to watch the Birds. Yeah, they are one game over .500 but this season was lost the day the organization resigned Madd Mike the day after the Cubs won the World Series. Possible replacement is Joe Girardi-former Redbird.<br />

I am missing the Serramonte show today-but for good reason. Did the Cardinals fire Matheny yet? And I want to write a tribute the Red when I return.<br />

There were a number of dealers with reasonable prices for relics-I even mangled to pick up a Yadi! It didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I hope everyone has a safe weekend and that we all keep in mind that freedom isn't free.<br />

A few weeks ago we took in a Portland Timbers (my adopted MLS team) and the SJ Earthquakes. We bought tickets that allows us to sit in the Audi Club at field level-bingo! But man was it cold, I actually had to buy a blanket and my wife a scarf. Of course I recorded the nationally broadcasted game-and alas I spotted us.</div>

Been pretty busy lately and I am a little behind in postings. As I sit here with the Royal Wedding on in the background I find myself with much time. Here are the autos picked up at the April TriStar show. I picked up several for $3 or less from "Relic Guy", and the Weaver, De Jong autos from another dealer for $5 while I talked with Cardinals' fan David. Then last but not least a number of others from the COMC dude for .75 cents. Yes, that is cents. All images are borrowed as I am having issues with our new scanner.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJpgBTW1sWXl26yOHOUs-XjoGCcPifTnobPBdPetOed-OwcPXotm-FFNZ6j6TidCPAANIF2WM4xzOKpNo57I3xiqhJVHhYT8LVX9rgw0HL6x_ty0N6E3GJcbyeTf5CoJDWC-0Tnz_PmHpL/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJpgBTW1sWXl26yOHOUs-XjoGCcPifTnobPBdPetOed-OwcPXotm-FFNZ6j6TidCPAANIF2WM4xzOKpNo57I3xiqhJVHhYT8LVX9rgw0HL6x_ty0N6E3GJcbyeTf5CoJDWC-0Tnz_PmHpL/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" /></a></div>
1. I find the show's lighting to be too dark to be able to detect flaws on ungraded cards<br />
<br />
2. I haven't found too many bargains at this show. One dealer asked me what I was looking for when I was flipping through his Bowman. I said "1955 Red Shoendienst" expecting to be told sorry don't have. But alas, he had one he marked at $30 which was way to steep for me in that I can locate other copies on the Bay that are graded PSA 6-7 for not too much more. I could have bargained with him a little I am sure but see #1 as to why I didn't.<br />
<br />
3. There were a ton of bargain vintage but I am condition sensitive and I wouldn't be satisfied with what ever I bought, forcing me to buy another more desirable copy.<br />
<br />
However, I did pick up a few "vintage" non-baseball cards. There was one dealer next to Mr.Haverkamps' friend that had much vintage basketball and I was able to whittle down my ABA St. Louis Spirits' needs list to one for the '74-75 and three for the '75-76 team sets.<br />
<br />
The three cards Spirits' 1975-76 Topps cards picked up are-<br />
<br />
Fly Williams RC , Team Leaders (Marvin Barnes / Freddie Lewis), and Team Card<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />

The other "vintage" non-baseball card was a 1983 Topps Football Ottis Anderson-which is helping complete that issue.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />

The same dealer I picked up the Ottis Anderson card was also the one I grabbed a slabbed PSA 8 1979 Cardinals (baseball) rookies (Terry Kennedy) $3! Yep $3. Who could resist? This was also the last table I hit for the day.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />

This year Matt Williams and Goose Gossage were among them and spent some time talking baseball on stage with a TriStar interviewer. I heard some of it and it was interesting to say the least. Following the show I drove about 2.2 miles further in to San Francisco and hit two new breweries, to me at least. Mr. Haverkamp they were real close. First up-Laughing Monk. Solid lineup of interesting beers-I tried a Mango Gose and a Salted Caramel beer on nitro-have to say the second beer wasn't bad, but should have been a smaller pour since it was on the rich side. The day I visited it was their second anniversary-so I picked a 750ML of the anniversary beer and walked about 10 yards-more or less to Seven Stills Brewing and Distillery. Nice place, interesting concept-when they brew a batch they put half of it in a still to make some whiskey. The other half the finish off as beer. The beer I had was good-the glass even better, and the whiskey even better. I tried a sampler, picked up some whiskey-one made with Russian Imperial Stout, a Framboise, an IPA, and a bottle of vodka and a four pack-then headed on home.<br />

This year it opened on Saturday at 930am which I really appreciated. When it opened I walked up a couple of isles on the look out for "Relic Guy". Relic Guy is at the thrice annual Serramonte show and always has a ton of Relics, Game Used, and Autos for three bucks, and less than that if you buy several. He also bought a sports card store out in Santa Monica so he has some better regular and insert singles. Honestly I think my approach to the TriStar and Serramonte shows is to think of them as an opportunity to purchase relics, game used, and autos at a reasonable price because there are no such thing as dime boxes here. What I see are quarter, fifty cent, and dollar boxes most often filled with base cards of recent issues. Sorry I am not that gullible. Below are the few singles I picked up.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this show provided just a few modern singles to add to the collection some of my favs below. Of course adding a new Yadi is always good-Paul DeJong is exciting to watch and he will appear in a follow-up post. I bought in Nacho Grande's Heritage Break but didn't land the Brock and Carlton Flashback cards. Last card I want to show is the 2015 Stadium Club Orange Cepeda.</div>

Yep that is it. There are probably 20 more regular, insert, parallel cards I picked up but aren't as exciting. Next TriStar post will feature some game used/relics. I was able to chat with friend of the blog Mr Haverkamp-which is always a pleasure. I spent a total of two hours at the show.</div>

Since before our trip to ABQ budget season at my agency kicked off and since my return it has begun to crest-I haven't had the bandwidth to write. A few days ago I read an article on the 1910 Murad Tobacco Non-Sport Colleges and Universities set. Although I am not a non-sport collector the T51 1910 Murad cards are vintage pre-war design goodness and they spoke to me.<br />

Murad was a brand of cigarettes from the Lorillard Tobacco Company. They were named Turkish because they used Turkish tobacco-as a non-smoker not sure if it is a premium type. The cards were issued in 1910 in packs of Murad smokes. They are 2-1/16" x 2-11/16" and consist of a total of 150 cards divided up in "series" of 25. The issue covers nearly every male and female university and college in the US and Canada at this time-at least it seems like it-Albright Lions anyone? <br />

The fronts are a textured paper with gilt print with a white border framing the institutions' seal, a pennant with the schools name, and sometimes a person-always a guy- playing a sport-is horse riding a sport? For #s 1-25 the front indicates "College Series 1 to 25, 2nd Edition" Not sure what the first edition is? The successive series indicate "College Series X to X".<br />
<br />
The backs are pretty straight forward-an alphabetical listing of the cards in the particular series. Some have a stamp indicating the number of the employee who packed the box. Which I think is pretty cool. The key is to make sure the stamp doesn't affect the printing.<br />
<br />
The T51 cards are very reasonably priced-with excellent copies going for about $5-for some schools, Michigan? Can go for much more. I picked up three-and will pick up others here are there-spending a max of $6 per and in no big hurry. If you aren't picky I have seen lower grade copies going for a few dollars.<br />
<br />
Which ones did I pick up?<br />

Murad also issued these hecka cool cabinet cards (T6) in 1910 which were 25 in total and strongly resemble the smaller T51. Each could be had by sending in 15 Coupons from packs. There is a type two of the 25 cards-perhaps the font size is different. Murad also issued a set of University and College Silks.<br />

OK, I am back-went with my better half to Albuquerque, NM for 4 days. Yep, it is opening day-or was yesterday. Cardinals started season with a whimper and I can say that this is the first year since 2008 that I am indifferent and unexcited. I don't have much hope for the Redbirds, even less now they signed, and wasted money, on Greg Holland, and still have a terrible manager. I am out for now. <br />

SO on to my other favorite B word, beer. We had a great trip visiting one of our wonderful friends and her adorable son. We love the ABQ and if we could retire tomorrow we would probably head there to live. We hit two breweries directly from the Airport-Palmer Brewery & Cider House and Drafty Kilt. Palmer's house beers and cider were very solid and Drafty Kilt's beers were even better-at the DK we listened to a couple of musicians jamming some 70s folk rock, singer songwriter tunes-and they were off the hook good. Then we ended the night with a feast at Sadies of New Mexico-which if you haven't had NM food you are missing out-Red and Green Chile-or both-you can't really go wrong. Under the tons of stuff is a stuffed sopapilla with brisket. Living in the People's Democratic Republic of California I forget how redunk prices are in the PDRC. What a bargain!<br />

ABQ is 5,000 feet above sea level and dry, rule number one-hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Water at breweries was provided without asking or was readily available to patrons. We met our friends at the Quarter Celtic Brewery and really enjoyed very well made beer. I had a conversation with the co-owner and that was nice. Then on to my favorite of the trip, and unfortunately the one we spent the least amount of time at-Boxing Bear-solid IPAs and Double Reds.<br />

The following day we headed with our friends to the Acoma Pueblo which is about an hour outside the ABQ. It was an incredible visit but really brings home the poverty and hardships still faced by Native Americans. Not to go beerless for the day my wife and I hit Starr Brothers Brewing (beer and mountains and sunset) a punt away from the hotel-enjoyed some pozole which with chile is the state's dishes. Enjoyed a wonderful purple sunset just a few miles from the Sandia Mountains. Opps I almost forgot that before then we hit two other breweries-Dialogue Brewing and Bow & Arrow Brewing (no picture)-cool vibe-Dialogue (second picture) more so. Beers were hit or miss, but I can see they are trying to be different.<br />

Monday saw us hit the Nob Hill area of town next to the U of NM campus-home of the Lobos. Since we were waiting to meet with our friend who took half a day off to spend with us-I said she was wonderful. The shops weren't open yet-so we "wasted" a few minutes till she got off at the satellite tap room for Bosque Brewing-every beer was spot on to style and stellar. After a crazy good lunch at Frontier which is a place that is an institution across from the university. I had the red and green chili double cheese burger-hey I WAS on vacation.<br />

We finished the day beer strong-and I was frankly getting to the beered out stage but we still hit Rio Bravo Brewing-the least successful of the breweries we visited-nothing really interesting and no picture takin. A short drive toward our friend's parent's house we hit Pondarosa Brewing (first picture below) which was beautiful inside and beers were pretty solid-nothing off the wall exciting but very solid. Are we done yet? Not yet. We ended the day at Nexus Brewery (second picture) which is one of the few breweries owned by an African-American and the menu was a fusion of NM staples, Southern Comfort food, and burgers. Beer was good, but food was crazy good-fried catfish, greens, and dirty rice anyone?<br />

OK, the ABQ does have a brewery branded eatery in the airport-so I couldn't resist more beer and chile-so yes one more beer-a Rio Bravo Green Chile beer. Yes, that is a wrap. Ten breweries-I have a wonderful wife who loves great beer and is very accommodating.<br />

The Rockies have their AAA team, the Isotopes-yes named after the Simpson's episode, in the ABQ-of course the season didn't start yet. The Memphis Redbirds will be visiting in June. I picked up a couple of pocket scheds. The Isotopes are the former Duke's who were the Dodger's AAA team for several years.<br />

When we checked out we made reservations to return in October for the Ballon Festival! I will hit the few breweries not hit this time and/or exciting new ones. The beer scene in ABQ really rivals other places like Portland, San Diego, etc. Their beers aren't overall to that level but they are on their way. They have over 20 breweries in a metropolitan area of 750K.<br />

This is from the 1976 Cramer Phoenix Giants set. The 1978 issue is on the right.<br />

Who is Ethan Blackaby? Well he was a Major League Baseball outfielder who appeared in 15 games for the Milwaukee Braves during the 1962 and 1964 seasons. He managed to hit .120 with one RBI. He later became General Manager of the Phoenix Giants in the 1970s and early 1980s. Here is an article where he talks about managing a Minor League Team <a href="https://baseballinteractions.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/ethan-blackaby-talks-about-running-a-minor-league-team/">Read Here</a></div>

We owe Bowman a great debt as card collectors-Bowman pioneered how sports cards were made, distributed, and collected. I love the vintage Bowman cards, but so do many other folks. This is the Long March of our collecting goals. Picking up a few cards every year until we complete each Redbird team set. So how are we doing? Ah, so-so.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The inaugural 1948 Bowman team set is a hella of difficult one to complete. We have zero of the four Redbirds. These are big hitters, no pun intended-Enos Slaughter<br />
Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst, and the most affordable of them all-Marty Marion. There is no challenger to the key card here-Stan the Man’s rookie card-a copy in excellent will be at least $600, at least.<br />

We go from the black and white 1948 Bowman to the colorized 1949 Bowman. Bowman left the players head shot as a photo and colorized their uniforms and hats. There are 12 Redbirds in the 1949 set and several variations around paper color and script or no script names. Again the Stan the Man is the key card missing from our collection. It is easier to show the 2 of the 3 cards of the 1949 set we have-Red Munger (white back), and Ron Northey.<br />

The 1950 Bowman set remains small and instead of straight up portraits, we have a mix of action and portraits. These are essentially painted copies of photos. Cards are now longer/wider depending on the player orientation. Sixteen Redbirds were included in the set and we have 8. The key card missing is Red Schoendienst.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 1951 Bowman set is the last before Topps really comes onto the scene in 1952. Again paintings based on photos-22 Cardinals were included which is a significant increase. We have 12 in our collection. Keys cards needed are Enos Slaughter, Joe Garagiola, and four challenging high-numbers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 1952 Bowman is often considered the forgotten set, as it is between the classic 1951 and 1953 Bowman issues and the 1952 Topps. Fourteen Redbirds appear in this “lost issue”. Bowman pretty well stuck the formula from the previous year’s set. We are 3/4s there with 8 Cardinals in our collection.<br />

We have been no-hit when it comes to the iconic 1953 Bowman issue. With both black and white and color photographs it is very-very popular and we haven’t picked up a single of the 3 black and white Cardinals or any of the 10 color photo Bowmans. Key card missing is the color Stan Musial.<br />

We are doing a bit better with the fourteen 1954 Bowman Cardinals. As we have completed this team set! Though we need three upgrades and one variation, Solly Hemus, to be done done. This is an interesting set as the size increased to that of the 1952 Topps and Bowman reverted to players being depicted by paintings.<br />

The final “Bowman” set was issued in 1955-this set was issued AFTER Topps bought them out, so in reality this is a Topps issue. We have all 15 Cardinals and just need to upgrade the Red Schoendiest. Back to real photos but with faux wood grain TV borders which though not mine are favorites of collectors.<br />
<br />
Great news is we are over the half way point for knocking out the vintage Bowman Redbirds. I have been trying to add a few every year, and at this pace I will be done when I am 75!<br />

Powering through the 2000+ ProCard minor league set from 1989 I came across a Minor League team from nearby Salinas. The Spurs? They were part of the California League from 1982-1987 and from 1989-1992. They were a Cubs affiliate from 1982-1983, Seattle from 1984-1987. In 1998 they moved to Riverside, CA and became the Red Wave, however the Spurs came back in existence when the Fresno Suns moved there for the 1989 season.<br />

OK, if that wasn't interesting enough for me-Wiki and the ProCard team set for the Spurs had an inordinate number of Japanese players. I found that to be fascinating so I came across this article <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1991/07/12/east-meets-west-in-salinas-where-all-is-well/d87f8e25-caed-4f7f-8fc3-e69dd716b692/?utm_term=.9982868295f7">East meets West in Salinas</a>. According to this article "Don Nomura is the Japanese owner. He also has Japan's Daiei Hawks and uses the Spurs to give young Japanese players experience they can't get at home. One Eppard scenario: He could play a season in Japan, then return when the major leagues expand in 1993." <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even more history was brought out in this article "Koga, 51, was the second Japanese player to play for an American baseball team when he left the Tokyo Giants to sign with the San Francisco Giants. Like many, he experienced unfulfilled dreams in the minor leagues. His first year, 1966, was spent with the Decatur (Ill.) Giants of the Midwest League. He had an 8-7 record as a pitcher and batted .320. But that November he broke his neck in an automobile accident. Koga failed in a brief comeback with the Lodi (Calif.) Chargers, then a Chicago Cubs' farm team.<br />
This is his second year managing Salinas. "I'm really enjoying it," he said. "For myself, I'm having a great experience. The purpose of being on my team is to sign and get to go on to a new team.

They were the best of times they were the worst of times-the 1970s and the Redbirds.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nineteen Seventy started with a whimper for the Cardinals whose record was a sad 76-86. Couple this record and the blah of the 1970 Topps and you have a forgettable season. A remarkable one card is needed to complete the team set. This is the high # 716 Campisi/Cleveland/Guzman. Also remarkable is only one upgrade is needed. Score card for 1970, 29 Redbirds and only the one to complete.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 1971 Topps issue is one where you see the transition between the old and the new. The action shots come into their own-the condition challenges of the 1971 set make it futile search for upgrades. Thirty-eight Redbirds are in the 1971 set and are only one tough card is needed to complete. The card is #625 Lou Brock, a high #.<br />

I love the 1972 Topps set. I wish though the colors used for the design for the Redbirds were a little more flamboyant! Blue really doesn’t cut it. There are thirty-four Redbirds to track down and we are down to just two-are #500 Joe Torre and the high # 723 Al Santorini.<br />

The last of the dreaded multi-series releases, 1973 is a design that has great action shots but the white front and the hideous black backs make it hard to love. The black backs make it hard to get them in great condition. However, of the 28 cards in team set there is no upgrades needed and only two to complete it-#603 Ken Reitz and the no number checklist.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRV0TKoRCzE8ciZgU6RuXpbrSnz5VY9zF84mThrbwzO_WQ4V1e1115sMD9UkzmpFacdjpiKvVPu5_z9WGmUWWb3j2xpcIJmpHyPLI2Ovjl3nBxKUTP2S_w17RPfiSiGdr8DHFUOSOqkpB/s1600/s-l1600-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="681" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRV0TKoRCzE8ciZgU6RuXpbrSnz5VY9zF84mThrbwzO_WQ4V1e1115sMD9UkzmpFacdjpiKvVPu5_z9WGmUWWb3j2xpcIJmpHyPLI2Ovjl3nBxKUTP2S_w17RPfiSiGdr8DHFUOSOqkpB/s320/s-l1600-1.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
I can sum up my thoughts on the 1974 Topps in one word-yuk, at least, no more series. There is some dispute on whether the team set is complete or not. My checklist says no, but I will double check as I complete the sorting through project-which I am almost done (hockey, check, Football, check, Autos and Relics/GU, and check). For now I will say I need one card to complete the 31 team set (including Traded and Checklist) is just the one-I think-card, which is #601 Bake McBride’s rookie card. Possibly the best baseball nickname ever.<br />

If you don’t like the 1975 Topps issue I cannot help you in anyway, any. Not only do you have the glorious regular issue but you can get mini goodness too! I love the colors and this is the mid-1970s in all their glory. The full size regular team of 36 is complete but 8 of the minis are needed, including Keith Hernandez’s rookie card #623.<br />
<br />
We finish the last ½ of the 70s strong with complete team sets for 1976 (32), 1977 (24), 1978 (29), and 1979 (30). There are a few upgrades needed amongst these year.<br />

Our previous cat was a fantastic kitty, but sometimes he would play with a toyless string that hung from a door jam that he destroyed. He could sit there for a hour or so endlessly playing with that string. We would say to eatch other when we do something obsessive and seemingly pointless we are "like Charley playing with a string", well I was like Charley playing with a string when I found myself scanning through the massive 1989 ProCards Minor League set that contains 2188 cards! Thank you <a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewAllSet.cfm/sid/59497/1989-ProCards">The Trading Card Database!</a> Yep, every card. I pulled some of my favorites-I have tried to categorize them. Today's batch are those who also served-trainers, GMs, assistant GMs, Equipment Managers, Ball/Bat Boys (there were no girls), Announcers etc. Nothing but images as they don't need my two cents.<br />

Next, the State of the 1960s Topps Redbirds and there is no surprise that the number of Redbird cards increase in the 1960s with the massive expansion of base cards in sets and the success of the Birds in 1964, 1967, and 1968.<br />

The 1960 Topps set is among my favorites-period. The horizontal orientation works well-the photos and colors pop and there are reasonable variations to pick up. There are two pricey cards needed to complete the 38 Redbird team set. The #160 Boyer/Mantle “ Rival All-Stars”, and #250 Musial. The Boyer/Mantle card is the one to target in less than top condition.<br />

We go from one of my all-time favorite sets to the first of two consecutive way less than favorite ones. The 1961 Topps is just OK to me-though I appreciate the backs. The challenge with this set apart from the obvious Musial, are the high numbers. Of the 36 cards in this year’s issue we are down to 5 to complete. We have the Musial but this could use an upgrade.

The 1962 issue is one that many collectors like but I am not one of them-the faux wood grain fronts and the less than sharp pictures-yuk! How does the photography get worse the more modern Topps went? The monstrosity has 38 Redbirds on the checklist. Number 50 Stan Musial, #530 Bob Gibson, and high #s 531 and 590 Curt Flood are all that are standing in the way of completing the Cardinals.<br />

What can you say about 1963 Topps? Better photography, for simple clean fronts that contain alien baby heads. There are 35 Redbirds in 1963’s set. We are left with 5 of the 35. Are you waiting for the cards needed? Yep, If you guessed correctly it would #5 and 9 both Gibbies, #250 Stan the Man, #394 Tim Carver, and #544 Duke Carmel 1964 Rookie Stars-this is a harder than average one needed. It is both a high #s and he shares the card with Rusty Staub.<br />

Now we are on to two consecutive sets I really like and if I could I grab a NM set of each-we can dream can’t we? Thirty-one beautiful Cardinals, yes I need Gibby. The challenging cards in general are the high #s in the set -Lew Burdette, Bob Uecker, Dal Maxvill, and Phil Gagliano. I am still kicking my self for not picking up these for a song-why didn’t I pull the trigger? God Knows. Apart from the usual suspects the Bib Uecker is a very popular card with collectors. We are just 8 away from putting this set to bed.<br />

Nineteen sixty five-can anyone say something bad about this set? Nope, which of course makes it hard to pick up solid cards for a decent price. The are an astounding 46 Cardinals in the 1965 set-a good part of the Redbird cards are part of the World Series subset, 8 of them, noting the Redbirds title. Fifteen precious Redbird cards are needed-and Ken Boyer, Ray Sadecki, and Gibby league leader cards, Steve Carlton’s rookie card and Bob Uecker.<br />

Back to another set that is just blah for me, 1966. There are 32 Cardinals and we are in need of just one card, yep one card and it is a very challenging and key card. Is the rookie card of Joe Hoerner, George Kernek, and Jimy Williams. Who? Why? There is no who but there is a why-the why is because it is a very high high numbered card that has the dubious distinction of being a short printed one at that.<br />

Ah, now to my birth year-1967. Beginning in 1967, Topps closes out the decade with solid sets. There are 30 Cardinals in the 1967 set and there are 11 to complete team set. This set is always very popular and I missing some obvious key cards-I really need the big hitters in the set. These include Roger Maris, Steve Carlton, Bob Gibson X 2, Curt Flood, Tim McCarver, Mike Shannon, and Red Schoendienst.<br />
<br />

Though I am not a fan of the 1968 set-again a weird frame, this time of burlap. Why burlap? I don’t get it. However, there are 39 Cardinals in the set, which includes another World Series subset to mark their 1967 victory over the Red Sox. The Redbird team set will be complete after we land 7 -Gibby, Orlando Cepeda, Roger Maris’ last regular issue card, Steve Carlton, and Lou Brock.<br />
The biggest fish to land is the Maris card.<br />

The last year of the decade, 1969, was a solid year for Topps. Forty-three Redbirds, which include another World Series subset to mark their remarkable loss to the Tigers, eleven cards to finish the team set. The World Series cards are popular, Brock, Shannon, Gibby X2, Carlton, Red, and Tim McCarver are needed.<br />

There are a lot of things I want to blog about, various subjects, gifts, hits, card show pick-ups, etc. But I am also a procrastinator. I am able to put out 2 maybe 3 posts a week if I am lucky. For example I have been meaning to write an in memorian post. But alas, it took the passing of Wally Moon on February the 9th of this year to get me off my arse to write the post.<br />

Yes "friend" of the blog Wally Moon left us this month. Thankfully there was a Wally auto in Topps Fan Favorites in the 2017 release-bummer it showed him in a Dodgers' uniform. None the less, it is the last, and only, certified on card auto from Mr. Moon. His other on "card" auto is in the 2017 Topps Archives Snapshots-which I don't think is even considered a card.<br />

St.Louis native and St. Louis University graduate Jim Donohue born October 31, 1938 and passed September 9, 2017. He was 78 years old. Jim signed as an amateur free agent with the Redbirds-no shock there-however he never played in the bigs with the Cards-though he has a 1960 rookie card as a Redbird. He was traded with Duke Carmel to the Dodgers on June 15, 1960. He managed a two year MLB career.<br />

On October the 2nd we lost former Redbird shortstop/player manager Solly Hemus who passed at the age of 94. Solly was a player/manager with the Redbirds from 1959-1961. He played shortstop with the Cardinals from 1949 (his rookie year) until early May 1956 when he was traded to the Phillies. However he would return in 1958 when he was traded back to the Birds-only to be released and resigned.<br />

The last Redbird to leave us in 2017 was Evan Tracy Stallard born August 31, 1937 and passed December 7, 2017. He was 80 years old. Tracy spent the last two years (1965 and 1966) of his 7 year MLB career with the Cardinals. In 2015, Topps released his Fan Favorite auto-which I was lucky to pick up for a song at our Serramonte Cards show in 2015ish. This is also his only certified on card auto.<br />

Rest in peace everyone. when I can I will do the same for Football Cardinals and St. Louis Blues.<br />
<br />
Hold the Press-as I was double checking the Trading Card Database I read of the loss of another former Redbird. On February 13th, yesterday, Tito Francona passed-father of Terry was born November 4, 1933 and passed at the age of 84. Of his 15 year MLB career he only played in 1965 and 1966 with the Redbirds.<br />

I thought it would be a good time for a State of the Topps Cardinals collection post. I wanted to review the state of the Topps Redbirds team needs and where we stand in completing the complete Topps’ team sets from 1951-1980. I think I did this before but I couldn’t find the post-but given my propensity to have humorous post titles it isn’t a surprise. I didn’t include cards that need upgrading in the ones needed. I am a stickler for condition and I am looking to upgrade where needed. Also not included in the below figures are those pesky variants-you know the 1960 cream, white, and dark backs-oh don’t worry I am working towards attaining them too-so for the below exercise if I have just one of the varieties I consider the player’s card in the particular set as unneeded.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Starting with 1951. We currently have all of the Red Backs (2/2) but none of the more expensive Blue (0/6) backs. The key cards are Red Schoendienst<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>and Enos Slaughter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first “real” Topps set hit in 1952 and is well collected-here is where my sensitivity to collection really takes a beating in completing this team set. We have 3 of 26 and the big names remaining are still Schoendienst and Slaughter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 1953 set thankfully has fewer variations and we have 4 of 23. Red and Enos are needed but other significant players are needed; Del Rice, Vinegar Bend Mizell, Rip Repulski, Solly Hemus, Harvey Haddix, and Johnny Riddle.<br />

Oh so close! We are one card away from completing the Cardinals’ 1954 team set-only Peanuts Lowery is keeping us from having all 18 Redbirds.<br />

Mr. Fuji’s favorite set the 1955 Topps, or is it the 1956-no I think it is the 1955 set. We have 4 of 14 in the team set-with Eddie Stanky’s and Ken Boyer’s rookie card being the most significant cards needed to complete the set.<br />

Mr. Fuji’s favorite set the 1956 Topps, or is it the 1955-no I think it is the 1956 set. We are three away from completing the twenty-one card set. This set is the second of the horizontal issues and is one of my favorites-missing cards are also more challenging than many others in the set-Ken Boyer, Team Card, and Hal Smith.<br />

On the down side of the 1950s the 1957 set saw the return of the vertical cards. Of the 25 Cardinals’ cards in 1957 we are in need of 5 to complete it. Most of these are the tougher mid-numbers. The needed ones are Alvin Dark, Jim Davis, Sam Jones, Joe Cunningham, and Walker Cooper. Remarkably this set has no variants that I am aware of.<br />

The 1958 Topps on the other hand has the yellow name and yellow team name errors. A whopping 28 Cardinals are in the 1957 set of which we need 3. My needs list says three cards are needed-Wally Moon, Ken Boyer, and Curt Flood. However, I believe I have the Curt Flood and will double check.<br />

We finish the first of three posts in this series with the love it or hate 1959 Topps. The one set that will take some $$$$$ to finish in acceptable condition. Thirty-six Redbirds are included in the set-but also included in the set is my white whale-Bob Gibson’s rookie card. Yep, only two cards needed to complete the set but one of those two is the Gibby rookie card as well as another Ken Boyer. Good news I have the Musial card though I need to upgrade. For the Gibby card I will get one sooner or later but it will need to be slabbed by PSA, which isn’t cheap. I am sure the conversation with my wife will go something like this when I ask to buy the Gibby, “You want to spend how much?” lucky she is a Redbird fan.<br />

Another edition of "When is a card not a card?" Showcased below, and the first contemporary Frankie Frisch card in our collection, is his 1936 S&S Game card. According to PSA the cards measure 2 ¼ by 3 ½ with rounded corners. The images are horizontal and the fronts are black white with photo of player. There are biographical statistics and two plays related to the board game. The reverse is plan green or plain cream and blank-each card comes in both colors and I am not sure if one is more scarce than the other. As shown below ours is green. There are 52 player cards, one scoreboard card, at least two directions cards, and one contest card. August of 2014 Mile High Auctions sold a complete PSA graded set of 52 plus scoreboard and directions cards and at the time the 5th highest graded complete set. Two cards were graded at 10s and 21 others at 9. The set sold with buyers’ premium for $958. 80. I think this is a very good price and man I wish I had the money!<br />
