Mark H recently sent me the PWE of all PWEs. It contained 18 cards...all vintage! Cards ranged from 1959-1965. I love PWEs because there tends to be a bit of everything in there, but this one was just one vintage treasure after another.
Best of all, I honestly think I needed every one of these cards. I need to take inventory on my Yanks from the '60s. I don't have many at all, but should start keeping track and trying to put together some Mantle-less team sets.
I'm not sure which card is my favorite of the bunch. I like the Rollie Sheldon a lot. In fact, I've already sent it out to him TTM. The 1964 Elston Howard is sweet, as well as the 1962 Jake Gibbs. I think that is my first Tony Kubek card too. I have the 1959 Virgil Trucks, but it's autographed. I don't believe I had it unsigned, so love adding it back to my collection.
Mark, thank you as always!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
What does Mark do for an encore after that PWE?!
