'58s are great

Picked up a little lot of 1958s.

I needed four of them. The big prize is the Orlando Cepeda rookie. The only way to get that card cheaply is with a defect. In this case it's the hole in the middle. Since centering is considered important to card condition, the fact that the hole is in Cepeda's center should be a big plus, right? The Curt Flood rookie was also a nice addition.

Five cards I had already. They are trade bait if anyone is interested (128, 244, 317, 392, 457)

Don't be embarrased to trade for embossed

I picked up a nice cheap lot of 1965 Topps Embossed. For me, the picture is the most important part of the card, so I've never held this set in high esteem. Still, they are shiny which is very unusual for the time. In good condition they reflect the light quite nicely.

This lot was all commons, with a few minor stars like Dick Allen and Ron Santo. I needed about half:

That leaves plenty to trade. Let me know if you're working on the set, need some for your team set or maybe a PC. Condition varies but most are in good shape. Notables include Fairly, Santo, Versalles, Allen and Bobby Richardson.
