For anyone paying attention to 1973 Al Kaline 'Band Aid' variations, take a look at where this auction (not mine) for an ungraded example is going (with almost a week still to go)…

[http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Topps-Set-Break-280-Al-Kaline-NR-MINT-i11553/311917726698?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid =p2060353.m1431.l2649

Yowza!!!


I have these two seriously nice PSA 8 versions available for trade. Apparently 'Mr. Tiger' made a mistake while shaving his forehead and cut himself.
He ended up sporting a bandage before the glamour police at Topps decided it was just too much and decided to pretty Al up by quickly airbrushing it away.




I am definitely looking for decent hits off of my need list. If you are interested in trading, LMK what you have! These suckers are extremely hard-to-find!!!

If you have nothing off of my need list, I am always interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, graded or ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1968 Milton Bradley HOF'ers
• 1972 Topps HOF'ers, high numbers and other cards in NM shape and nicely centered to upgrade my sets
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
• T-206's
• And I'm probably open to a wide variety of other things as well
