    Rick, love that you are always providing some great educational moments! I can now share some fun facts to people at the shows I will be setting up at this weekend! I believe I have a few 69 TSN AS's for sale. Make great conversation!

    Very cool cards/photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
    You forgot to mention on the back of the cards there are two players that can be formed. Pete Rose and Carl Yastrzemski. I’m a Pete Rose Super Collector. This was something fun to put together and not many people know about these.
    Interesting notes on the players in the background.
    Thanks for sharing the tidbits on these cards. Great information.

    You're one of those collectors Rick who has so much knowledge and information of the cards It makes me look at the cards completely differently, players and seasons in a different way. I like you am a vintage collector , and thoroughly enjoy the stories behind the cards. Hope to meet someday... I'm going to be in Cleveland this year for the national and will be at the RUclips meet and greet. once again great research, knowledge and information. health and happiness to you.... Jonathan

    I did not know this, Rick. I still need to add a bunch of these to my 1969 set, I still have to go with 1958 then 1960 as my favorites but these are in my top 5.

    Great video and info, Rick! I too love those 69 all star cards but never paid close attention to the background...just always assumed they were of the featured player. I'll never look at those cards quite the same. LOL.

  • @vintageonvintage817
    @vintageonvintage817 7 месяцев назад +1

    First of all the Ruth cards are amazing Rick thanks for sharing them one more time before they go back to a safe place!
    I love the 69 set and especially the Allstar cards but never realized the pictures did not match.
    I know Topps had issues with the players union in 69 and a lot of their cards are old photos. I wonder if that played into these cards also.

    • @vintageoddballcards6103
      @vintageoddballcards6103  7 месяцев назад

      Many of the photos were used before on Topps cards. I guess they were lazy not to match the player with the background

  • @montrealsports29
    @montrealsports29 7 месяцев назад +1

    I just read that article the other day. I guess it was easier and cheaper for Topps to alter photos that they had already used instead of finding and paying for action photos of the actual players.

  • @jwwj30
    @jwwj30 7 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks Rick for the tip on the 68 All Star cards with all the additional players added in the background, kinda like a bonus. I need to go thru my garage storage & see if I still have mine. November 68 would have put me in my senior year of high school, graduating in June 69. I had definitely slowed down buying cards, as my girlfriend & my car became way more important. Still I played ball, so hopefully I kept these cards you just shared with us. Thanks again for bringing up some old memories & have a great weekend.

    @ASMRPeople 7 месяцев назад +1

    I don't recall weather it was 68 or 69, but topps lost the rights to many players when the union told them that topps was ripping them off. Topps used old photo & airbrushed players on new teams to put together a set. I wonder if that has anything to do with the odd background photo selection?

    @jimcreamer4800 6 месяцев назад

    Cool video. Reminds me of the 62 Topps football set where a lot of the action inserts also don't match the player featured on the card. Strange decision by Topps. I think there may still be some 62T football cards where the player in the action shot is unknown.

      @@vintageoddballcards6103 Yep. For example, Jurgenson is on Tarkenton's card. Of course they only had 1961 to get an action shot of Fran so it's a bit understandable they had trouble finding a good photo for him, but there are a bunch of mismatched photos in the set. In a number of them Topps doctored the uniform numbers to make them match.
