  • Post Produced Sets from 1960-1963 (That Is If You Can Consider the 1960 Group of Cards a Set Or If You Even Consider Them Cards)
    Post and Jello Sets from the 1960's- Updated 8/19/10 by Peter Mead Post produced sets from 1960-1963 (that is if you can consider the 1960 group of cards a set or if you even consider them cards). Here is my recap of the various sets. 1960 Post This is a set of nine cards (five baseball, two baseketball, two football). The cards are approximately 7 x 8 1/2 and were distributed on the backs of Grape Nuts cereal. These normally run above $25 each, even in OBC condition, with a few stars (Mantle) costing considerably more (the set includes Bob Cousey, Bob Pettitt, Frank Gifford, Johnny U, Kaline, Drysdale, Mathews, Mantle, and Killebrew). I have three of these and they all have the telltale sign of having been stuck to a wall with a thumbtack. 1961 Post This was Post's first of three annual 200 card sets that were traditionally found on the back of cereal boxes (or as an insert in those small ten-package variety packs). This is the only one of the three annual sets that has a box version and a company version. A complete set can not be put together without cards from both box and company variation. Box cards were cut off the back of cereal boxes by kids with scissors so they are perfect for the OBC collector. There are a number of box only cards, in other words, there are cards that were not part of the mail order company cards. Company cards arrived in team sets of ten cards and were separated by perforations.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.
