  • 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.

  • A Summer Wildfire: How the Greatest Debut in Baseball History Peaked and Dwindled Over the Course of Three Months
    The Report committee for Colin Thomas Reynolds Certifies that this is the approved version of the following report: A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Co-Supervisor: ______________________________________ Tracy Dahlby Co-Supervisor: ______________________________________ Bill Minutaglio ______________________________________ Dave Sheinin A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May, 2011 To my parents, Lyn & Terry, without whom, none of this would be possible. Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.
