This is one of those times.
On Monday night, I was feeling a little bit low, and not having spent a lot of money on cards since the show at the beginning of the month, I decided to hit eBay and try and find the final few cards to finish off the '75 Topps set.
Some pretty notable names on my list of remaining cards. Joe Morgan, Carlton Fisk, the Mantle/Newcombe '56 MVP card, and this card below...
Just so you can see what I saw in the auction listing, take a look at it for yourself here. I will say that the seller described the card very accurately, the centering and the corner were described correctly.
Anyone figure out what I missed? If not, here's the one line description...
1975 Topps mini #260 Johnny bench.
It would have helped if I had looked at that one particular word. I know why I missed it though.
After 2+ years in the blogosphere, I have come to understand the word is actually spelled
MMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
See that my friends? I do pay attention. Sometimes to a fault....
Oh well, I guess I'll have to see if there are any bloggers out there putting together a '75 Topps mini set that are in need of a Johnny Bench.
At least the seller accepted my offer price. LOL
Thanks for reading, Robert
Before I even got to the bottom I knew you were going to say you bought the mini. I bought a whole lot of those thinking they were the regular sized 75 cards when I was working on my set. Nice cards though!
ReplyDeleteLet me know 1975 baseball you need.
ReplyDeleteNah, there aren't any bloggers that are doing that.
ReplyDeleteIf you do find one, just let me know...
DeleteIt looks to me like you just started yourself on collecting a new set.
