it's been a little while since i completed a vintage dodger team set, so i started looking around at some 1954 bowman. at the time, i needed three cards - duke snider, don newcombe, and roy campanella. i found a campy card on the cheap and pounced.
roy looks like he's feeling the same fatigue as the card, which has some real vintage wear. it's got rounded corners and creases and even some ballpoint pen gouging in the lower right corner. here's a close-up:
looks like someone was doing some on-card grading. as far as i can tell, it says "good". yes, 1950's roy campanella cards are always good.
i also found a very inexpensive newk to add to my collection.
it's in much better shape than campy, and the colors are great. love the baby ruth ad in the background!
duke was the last card i needed for the team set and here he is:
with another vintage dodger team set completed, things are (just like the duke) definitely looking up!
Newc looks shopped into that background.
ReplyDeleteCool always "good" to complete a team set. I need to do a bunch more of those for my Washington teams.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards.. congrats!
ReplyDeleteI just got myself a copy of that Campanella as well! Never been huge on the '54 Bowman design but any card of Campy is a surefire winner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Congratulations on completing the team set!
