I saw a post over at Vintage Sportscards that reminded me about two cards sent to me by Baseball Dad around xmas time.
They are inserts originally found in packs of 1965 Topps baseball cards. Embossed in gold foil and slightly smaller than a regular card.
Of course you know they just happened to be Braves.
#12 Catcher Joe Torre...
Quite a few Hall of Famers in the set, and singles can be picked up relatively cheaply.
Thanks Jack! A return package is already on it's way.

They don't get a lot of love now but I bet they were awesome to pull out of a pack in 1965. If I pulled one I don't remember it. The only one I own now is the Ron Santo.
Glad you liked them Cap. I picked up about 25 of them at a card show for $10.Thanks again for the return package, I hope to get some trades posted soon.
baseball dad included a tommy davis from this set in our trade. it was my introduction to the set. its cool to have a small part of baseball card history.
Shiny. I like 'em.
I didn't know they did the gold foil thing way back when.
These are awesome... cheap way to add some vintage cards of some big names to a collection.
I bought the Ernie Banks for $1.19 off of COMC and a Harmon Killebrew for $.50 at an online store.
I love these cards. I bought a handful from a dealer a decade ago with the grand illusion of completing the set. Maybe I should seriously consider it.
