Bidding Under the Influence #15

Time of Bid: 10:28:54 PM
Cards: 1974 Topps #350 Bob Gibson
Price: $3.25 (+$1.00 shipping)
What Was I Thinking?:
Sometimes things just work out nicely.
1. Hey, that's a cool card.
2. Hey, that's on my want list.
3. Hey, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
The top edge is a bit rough, a common production flaw during these years, but everything else about this card is very nice.  Throw in the warm-up windbreaker under the jersey and a shaving cream cartoon on the back, you've got yourself a stew.  (Or at the very least, an excellent piece of history.)

  1. That's pretty cool. I didn't know that he was 2nd all-time in K's. He stayed there until Gaylord Perry passed him in 1979. Glad to see you with another BUI on your record.

  2. When I saw that top edge, I was thinking this was an OPC card. For under $5, this card is a great deal.
