LOL Gaylord Perry was the man! Turned cheating into an art. If he'd a never got caught, we'd have never known exactly how good at cheating he was. Pulled it off for years. Spitt balls, vaseline, KY jelly, hiding tarred baseball bats. Back when cheating was really CHEATING! Love it!

Trying to complete the Topps 1963 set myself.....it's my birth year.  Still need Pete's card - ha!  

Also have complete sets from 1973, 1974, and 1975 and many of loose singles from 1969 to about 1977.  Those were my years of collecting as a kid. Back then you didn't collect cards or players because they would be valuable one day.  Got back into it in the mid 80's when it got hot again.....what a waste of money!  I have lots of complete sets from those years.  I have autographed baseballs from Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Bo Jackson, Harmon Killebrew, Tony Gwynn, Don Larsen, Roberto Alomar (signed his rookie year), Lou Brock, Hank Aaron, and a few others.  

Hope it will have some value one day, but it sure is fun to look back at the cards from the mid 70s and see my favorite players from when I was kid....players that were semi-stars back then that you kinda forget about these days.  Guys like John Mayberry, Boog Powell, Frank White, Chris Chambliss, Cookie Rojas, Gaylord Perry, "The Penguin" Ron Cey, etc.....

Got all my cards from my Pops who collected them at release. Dad spent a lot of nickles on those packs, and always used to tell me it was all about that ggum they came with not really the cards! Im hoping Pete makes he HOF... Sometime.... I could be sitting on a goldmine then!

:horse: Pete and the hog

Its a grudge match.

Man, this brings back some memories.  Old couple in a neighborhood I lived in had a garage sale, and in that pile of stuff they were selling they had a big stack of baseball cards in the very cliche shoe box.  It had old Bowmans, and a bunch of other great players from way back.  50s-60s.  Excellent condition.  Old man wanted 50 cents each I think for about 100 cards in that stack.  I tried to tell him what he had but suprisingly he didn't really seem to care.  My buddy at the time bought them from the old lady while I was trying to do a good deed.  :)  Unreal.  A stack of classics in excellent condition.  My friend at the time - 9th grade or so....turned out to be a real friggen d-bag.  Still think about it on a rare occasion like this when its brought up and think it really sucks...old man got ripped off and the d-bag got a hell of a deal.
