My hobby focus this month was on Kahn’s Wieners basketball cards. I added all nine of Kahn’s basketball sets (1957-1965) to the Oddball Archive and wrote a detailed article about the four Jerry West cards they produced. I intend to write more about these regional oddball sets in the future, but if you want more information about them in the meantime, both PSA and Sports Collectors Daily have great articles you should check out.
I added a 1957 Topps baseball checklist to my collection this month, such great eye appeal for the grade that when it showed up on eBay I hit the buy it now button as fast as I could.
And here on PostWarCards.Com, I continued to add a lot of content. 31 new articles and archive additions were made to the site this month, along with the third and fourth Post War Cards newsletters (subscribe below), and they are all listed below.
