Trade Bait Pays Off

Last month I offered up some Pirates stuff as trade bait.  Roger wanted some of it and a quick trade was worked out. 

Roger said he didn't have much off of my want list but he had a two Hostess I needed.  Not only did I need them but they finished off my 1976 Hostess Team Set. 

I thought all I was getting was the two hostess cards.  But Roger threw in some extras. My original assumption was since it says he as an All Star in 1964 that this would be a 1965 coin.  But it turns out that it is actually a 1964 coin.  This must have come out of the high number series for the All Star game to have already been over. 

This second coin was even harder to figure out.  It looks brand new.  The Stuart coin above has some scratches and it looks like a 1964 coin should but this one looks like a more recent coin, like it came out in the 1980s or 1990s.  I had to do one of those Google image search things to figure out that it was a 1971 Topps Coin.  I didn't even realize there were 71 Topps coins and this prompted me to add them to my want list.  

I threw in some extra Pirates stuff when I shipped his package but I don't think I added enough extras for the vintage coin throw ins.  Thanks Roger, I am going to get some more stuff sent your way in the next week or so.
