Penny Sleeves To The Extreme

Got an unexpected package from Jon at Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts on Thursday.


As you can see, this is a return package from when I sent him a few things.


A really nice selection of '68s from all over the set.  Two-digit card numbers all the way up to the very end of the set.


The photos are typical of this time period.  Jackets under jerseys, blacked out "KC" hats on the newly relocated Athletics.


The "other" Tonly Gonzalez, a well disguised former Pirate, managers, and old school Sox unis.  And that funky coarse burlap pattern on just a few...


The bulk of them are miscellaneous common guys.  These are the more interesting shots.

 
 

Most of the rest are the "hatless generic shots from the year before in case they get traded" pictures.  Some of these guys look happy to be there and others appear a little confused.


And one rookie, because it's all about rookies these days.  Whatever.  Nice card though.

And this rare find ~ a Series 2 ProSet MusiCard!  I'm actually only filling out the hard rock bands in this set.

Thanks a lot Jon!  Now I can send you more stuff!

  1. nice! a vintage reward! The A's hat really is terrible in the most wonderful way. Cards like this keep pushing me to start a poorly photoshopped/sharpied mini-collection.

  2. And I didn't even notice all of those hatless fellows! Depending on how fast you build this set, I might have a few more singles for you, I just couldn't get to the box that they're in, but will try to do so sometime in the next week or two.

  3. Cracked up after seeing that A's helmet. Wow. That's pretty bad. As for Extreme... I just heard More Than Words on the radio a few days ago.
