Tha...Late to the game here, but ... nice addition. That was one of the last 25 or so 1960s Phillies Topps cards I needed. I got it for a decent price after missing out a bunch on eBay; I tend to get the best prices on items that end inexplicably between about 2 am and 6 am. I'm not sure why someone would list an auction to end in the middle of the night!<br /><br />Two others that were among my white whales, also pricey because of being high numbers, were the 1967 Bunning and 1966 Grant Jackson rookie--especially the latter. Check out the prices on eBay (it's card #591); there are a few that recently went for $50--mostly in rough shape--but most are in the $75 and up (way up in some cases) range. And he shares a card with the immortal Bart Shirley. So it must be a real short print. Anyway, I was lucky enough to get the two of them at the Philly Show in December for a combined $85, with Bunning in Ex-Mt and Jackson in Ex condition. (It took me awhile to spring for the Bunning because I had a real nice Topps Fan Favorites holding its place in the binder.)<br />Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-29005637277214330332012-12-30T13:21:08.283-05:002012-12-30T13:21:08.283-05:00Night Owl - Best of luck with the McMullen rookie ...Night Owl - Best of luck with the McMullen rookie card.
