So I'm going to keep the writing to a minimum and let you focus on the baseball cards that John over at Johnny's Trading Spot sent me last week:
1967 Topps #103
This is my third copy of this card... but it's by far the most beautiful. It's not often I'm able to add high grade vintage to my collection. The fact that it features Mickey Mantle's floating head makes it that much cooler.
1969 Topps #495
Campaneris is one of my favorite players on The Swingin' A's... and this card is in sweet condition like the Mantle.
Can't say the same for this card...
1957 Topps #128
I'll go out on a limb and say that Johnny is donating this card to my Damaged Card PC. It's an oldie... and a goodie.
Rounding out the package are three memorabilia cards:
All three of these cards were produced during the peak of The Relic Era which works for me, because I'm one of those collectors who still enjoys adding relic cards to my collection. The Sasaki is especially sweet, because it's numbered out of 100.
Thank you Johnny for hooking me up with another care package... especially since I already owe you for a couple of them. I'll hit you back at some point. Hopefully sometime before 2020.
Well... I got eight minutes to edit the text and hit the "publish" button. If this post is published anytime past 3pm, then you know I failed.
Happy Monday and sayonara!

Glad the Mantle was an upgrade!
Always great when you post a damaged card. I feel like Ed Bailey might have made some kid angry, who in turn scratched out his face.
I always feel damaged cards are authentic. crinkles, wrinkles and writing on them. etc. great stuff.
The 1960s floating head era was pretty unique. Nice looking checklist especially for that age.
Great cartoon on the back of the Campy card!
That Mantle is fantastic shape, great contest win!
I remember looking at my copy of Campaneris' 1969 Topps card not too long ago. He's also one of my favorite guys from the Swingin' A's along with Vida Blue and Sal Bando.
johnny's trading spot - it's sweet! hard to believe this thing is vintage. looks so clean.

gregory - vintage cartoons rule! i actually had no idea that campy was so good on the base paths. the guy could do everything
