round 13 (final)

Well, here we are in the final round! I hope this break was as enjoyable as you had hoped. This being the final round, with the most fun cards, I am doing something different. Everyone still gets two picks but only one pick at a time to keep things fair. See the order below.

Now let me explain what these are:

Top Row: 1939 Play Ball/1941 Play Ball
Middle Row: 1949 Bowman/1951 Bowman/1969 Topps Deckle Edge
Bottom Row: 1975 Topps/1975 Topps/1961 Fleer

When choosing your card, just say the year and brand (unless its either of the 75s), I'll know what to grab. Like I said before, do you go with the Hall of Famer or the old cards? A motley bunch for sure but there is some interesting baseball card history here. The reason I wanted to make it one pick at a time is for fairness. Just so one person doesn't end up with both 75's or both Play Balls (unless it just happens that way). I wanted a nice mix with equal chance for everyone to get something kinda old. I do want to thank everyone for their participation. I believe I have your addresses but if I don't you'll be hearing from me asking for it so I can get these out.

  2. Oh. Definitely the '75 Aaron. 1974 Card #1 is my favorite card in my collection. This will definitely be in my top 10.

  3. The 1939 Play Ball is Stanley Bordagaray of the Cincinnati Reds. I know, the only card with no designation of who it is on the front.

  6. Since he was born about an hour drive from here, I am going to make my final pick the 49 Bowman Al Brazle.

    Excellent break, Ted. Thanks so much for holding it.

  7. '61 Fleer please.

    Couldn't agree more with Jeff's sentiment. I had a great time with this break and love all the rounds you had. Ended up with a great mixture of a bunch of vintage from years I don't have in my collection which has been awesome!
