dennis at
too many verlanders offered to add some cards for me to his order from comc a while back as part of a trade. i jumped at the chance to add a couple of oddballs featuring a couple of players who are near and dear to me.
i asked dennis to purchase this 1969 transogram jim lefebvre card
it's not really a card; it's a cutout from the box of a figurine that was produced in 1969. think crude starting lineup figures and you'll get the picture. in 1970, transogram produced three-packs of figures that had these same type of 'cards' as a three player panel, but this lefebvre is from his 1969 solo figure box. i wish there were more lefebvre as a dodger cards. besides being a dodger second baseman, lefebvre was my dad's favorite position player, and i still have his jim lefebvre style rawlings mitt.
the second oddball was a 1978 twins frisz card of jimmie hall
this guy held the american league rookie home run record for 20+ years until mark mcgwire came along. the card is the size of old (and 1989) bowman, which was a surprise. still, a good addition to my jimmie hall pc.
the third card that i specifically requested was this 2009 upper deck o-pee-chee preview card of chase utley
i wanted it for the double play collection. dennis threw in some other dp cards, including a 1999 upper deck black diamond craig biggio
and an alex rodriguez card from the same set.
thanks for the trade dennis!
