Odd balls anyone? Plus the FREE cards too!

 The winner last night was: John Sharp


Before I get into the "boxes" I brought back from the Jax March show (BTW I am returning 3 of them as was agreed to with the seller when I bought them). I am going to start the ODD BALL portion from the total haul. There is a tremendous amount of odd balls, that will last for a couple of months by themselves. Even a week dedicated to Yankees, and one to Dodgers. Just not this week, lol.





This was an 11 card set issued by Motorola in 1976.  The card stock is really thin paper like and the cards have a slight curl to them. The backs are just Motorola stuff.










I had bought three full binders of nothing but odd ball sets. The 1989 Jr. set above has 16 cards, and I am pretty sure I may have already had it. Either way there were 2 full sets in one of the binders. I do have one available to trade.

  1. Those Griffey oddballs look more like family photos than baseball cards. I'm guessing they're a licensed release but it feels kinda shady, lol. The Motorola set looks interesting, and so thin you can see through them. Hope they hold up well.

  2. Those Motorola cards are fascinating! I would have bet that Wambsganss name was a misspell, but I would have been wrong!

    Those first set of cards are pretty sweet looking...that Schalk would look great in the Catchers Card Binder.

  7. Three Fingers Brown. Interesting name. I wonder how it fits in with him as to why he was called that?

  8. I've got some of those Griffey cards. There are a surprising number of cards and sets with player's childhood photos.

    Looking forward to Yankee week!

  10. Kinda cool to learn Motorola was around in the 70's. Even cooler that they made a set of cards.

  12. It's nice to see some different photos in that Motorola set. I really like the one of Grover Alexander.
