Night Owl Cards

  I'm returning to the fascinating package of periodicals and cards that I received from the best bubble a few days ago. Why not? It's not like I'm done filing all that stuff, and it will be awhile before I do.   I wanted to update the news on the 1956 World Series program that you and I were salivating over, the one that Don Larsen allegedly signed on the scorecard inside that documented Game 5 of that World Series, his perfect game.   Best Bubble Bob sent me an email saying he did additional research on the program and he believes it's a reprint.   Bummer.   I've never heard of yearbook reprints, only card reprints. I suppose there could be old yearbooks reprinted, although that seems a bit odd to me. But it explains why the program is in immaculate shape and why it is so readily in my possession. Bob didn't explain how he came to this decision, I'd like to know how that was determined.   It's still cool to own, reprint or not.   Anyway, I had said...

I am currently cataloging the cards from the dime box that I bought at my last card show in April. So it's appropriate that I would receive a surprise package over the weekend from reader Dave with a note that said he was inspired enough by that post about buying an entire dime box to purchase one of his own. Then he said, "All of these cards came from that box. And what a box it was!" After reviewing the contents, I agree. That was some dime box. Far, far, far, far, FAR better than the dime box that I bought. I mean I'm going through card after card of busts from 2014 Bowman in my dime box. But I'm a natural skeptic and it's difficult for me to believe that all of this great stuff from Dave was reduced down to a dime apiece. I'm going to show you the cards and give my own opinion on whether I think they actually came from a dime box and you can play along, too. I'll start with some cards that I'd be surprised if they didn't come...
