Text of the page (random words):
it double against the dodgers to drive in a walk off run in what would be his last extra base hit his last 3rd to the last rbi and second to the last hit it was pretty wild the back shows the box score of a game on 7 30 59 which is willie s famous debut against robin roberts where he went 4 for 4 with 2 triples there are also nice round photos of the giants starting lineup and manager circling a larger picture of mccovey the inside of the scorecard is pretty neat as well not only does it have a place to keep score the sides highlight players that i assume were playing in the oldtimer s game it appears they were able to drum up the same starting lineup from his debut game in 1959 to play against some other former players including robin roberts i would have loved to see this game stay tuned for some other vintage mccovey stuff while they are a little more challenging to scan photo for the blog they are super cool to collect and look at posted by arpsmith at 11 00 am 2 comments

posting around the first of the year i never listed my hobby goals on the blog however one january day i did list out some 2020 collection focuses i like to do this because i have a bunch of different interests in my card collection and by making a list it gives me a reference to look back on when i am doing some shopping i have a list of 8 sets i am hoping to finish in 2020 most of these had fairly small want lists and i have recently gotten the cards to finish off 3 of these sets today i am going to share the 1961 golden press set the final card i needed to finish this off was card 3 babe ruth this is a 33 card set of standard card size the 1961 golden press set features full color cards and all of the players are members of baseball s hall of fame the cards came in a booklet with perforations for punching the cards out of the book the price of the full intact book is fairly pricey but overall i found this set to be pretty affordable i tried to look for cards in pretty nice condition but as you will see i wasn t too picky i really enjoy oddball cards and this set has that going for it additionally i love the artwork on these cards they are well done and very colorful any set featuring hall of famers is great in my book the backs feature nice write ups about some career highlights and a listing of some key career stats i found this write up pretty timely as the following year the ruth s most famous record would no longer exist here is the set in all its glory awesome looking set and pretty nice checklist huh posted by arpsmith at 11 00 am 9 comments email

over at cardpocalypse put together this 7 day trading card challenge and here is the whole list i am up to 3 the favorite football card in my collection my collection is a majority baseball but i do have my fair share of football cards and football card pursuits as a graduate of usc collecting former trojan football players was my first team collection a few years before starting my giants collection in earnest i am have a solid number of sets in my football card collection i have decided to go after a lifetime topps football card collection from my birth year of 1971 up through 2015 when topps stopped producing football cards i am waiting for my last group of 1977 cards from comc to finish off that set and that will leave me only lacking 1993 and 1994 for a run from 1977 2015 i am also about 10 cards short of the 1971 set and under 20 cards from completing series 1 2 of the 1972 set i haven t looked hard but it seems series 3 in football is even worse than the high series of 72 topps baseball the lowest priced complete set is about 3 5k on ebay and you can get the lower 2 series for under 400 so that high series will be a beast to collection i have shared my 49er collection where i am looking to pick up all the topps bowman fleer and philadelphia base and insert cards i also collect a few non usc players in dwight clark roger craig and fred dean and a small collection of kenny stabler i share all this to illustrate that i have a lot of football cards to pick from to find my favorite i think my pick for this could differ depending on the day but when i was giving thought to which card to pick my mind went immediately to my ronnie lott collection ronnie was a trojan and a 49er and i had a chance to meet him in the mid 80s at the height of his niner career during training camp in rocklin ca i had a few cards in mind but when i was flipping through my lott binders i decided on this card i prefer on card autos and this isn t the cleanest lott auto in my collection but i just love this card he isn t featured in his usc uniform on that many cards and i love the college greats theme this card has a great sc logo on both sides and is low numbered to just 20 copies i hunted this card down and negotiated with the seller like crazy to add it to my collection and got what i thought at the time was a good deal i think the fun of the chase adds to my liking of this card and for today it is my favorite posted by arpsmith at 11 00 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday june 2 2020 7 day trading card challenge 2 time to tackle challenge 2 a card from 2020 with a unique photo as a reminder tim over at cardpocalypse put together this 7 day trading card challenge and here is the whole list i haven t bought a ton of new cards this year some retail topps series 1 a few packs of donruss and a topps opening day set with inserts somewhat slim pickings i wish that stadium club was out already as it always has great photo selections my mind instantly went to the opening day set i got last week and especially the spring has sprung inserts however i showed 5 of those cards in my post and while there were some other great photos in that set i decided to go in another direction this nice looking card is from a different opening day insert set team traditions and celebrations for some reason the giants don t seem to get featured in too many of these sets never a mascot card and rarely featured as a team in opening day inserts this year was different they actually got 2 cards in this small set this mays statue card and one of a cable car at the stadium i picked this as my unique card as it brings back great memories for me this willie mays statue is right out front the main entrance of oracle park i fondly remember it as pac bell park its first name upon opening this is always my meeting point when i connect with friends for a game any while my favorite player of all time willie mccovey also has a statue it is located out near mccovey cove in right field it is always worth a walk to go see it but this mays statue is iconic and it isn t every day that a statue is featured on a baseball card posted by arpsmith at 11 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 7 day trading card challenge willie mays saturday may 30 2020 7 day trading card challenge 1 tim over at cardpocalypse has laid down a 7 day trading card challenge and while i certainly won t cover it over 7 consecutive days i think i am going to give it a go and hopefully get through all the steps here are the 7 different challenges today i have been challenged to share my favorite card acquired during the quarantine when i saw this topic the first card that came to mind was this this is my first topps project 2020 art card when i saw the first few cards come out i wasn t sure they were going to be my cup of tea i wouldn t call myself an art connoisseur and the first one i saw that possibly would fit into my collection was an artistic rendering of a 1952 willie mays the card didn t excite or inspire me a few days later i saw this rickey henderson rookie rendition come up on topps com and instantly liked it i am a rickey collector and think his rookie card is one of the best in the history of the hobby and this one was close enough to the original not all of these are for me but different enough where i wanted a copy however with all the craziness about these project 2020 cards and the crazy prices they are going for won t allow me in good conscious to pick a card from this set as my favorite if you aren t familiar this card that i got for under 20 delivered when it was released is now for sale of 300 i also picked up the second one when it was released but i am done with these let s look at my real favorite card pickup during quarantine this is a 1972 topps joe morgan high number and it finished off my 1972 topps set and therefore finished off my lifetime topps run it was actually one of a lot of cards i got to finish off my set but this was the last card in the package and will ever be remembered as the card that finished my set i am still on cloud nine about finishing the set and suspect it will be my favorite hobby accomplishment of the year time to dig into the few 2020 cards i have so far to find a card
