Thrift Treasures Part XVIII: A Topps Giant Leap for mankind
I’m getting spoiled. I’ve found a bunch of cards at thrift stores in recent weeks and the price poins has been just amazing. Here for $2 I snagged a baker’s dozen of 1964 Topps Giant cards and nine Baseball’s Great Hall of Fame post cards.
Max Alvis, Milt Pappas and Ron Santo
Tony Gonzalez, Dean Chance and Dick Radatz
John Romano, Leon Wagner and Jim Bunning
Ron Hunt (x2), Jim Maloney and Pete Ward
And the following are (1986?) reprints of the originals, which were done in like 1950.
Gabby Hartnett (Cubs), Robin Roberts (Phillies), Rudy York (Tigers)
Honus Wagner (Pirates), Al Kaline (Tigers), Tris Speaker (Cleveland)
Whitey Ford (Yankees), Luke Appling (White Sox), Cy Young (Cleveland)

Wow, that’s a great haul for $2. I don’t suppose you’d be interested in trading that Ron Santo? Or, hell, I’d mail you $2 for it.
