Bazooka Billy

I can't remember the last time I was able to add something to my collection of Billy Williams cards from the PSA master list.  Most of what I have left are big ticket items.

Yet I recently lucked into one item for a pretty reasonable price.


This is the 1966-1967 Bazooka card.  It was cut off from a box of Bazooka gum.  The reason for the dual year listing is that Billy's card used the exact same picture and number both years.  The only way to tell the year is by the complete panel of three players.  But since the card has been cut out, you have no way of knowing the year.

The cards isn't in mint condition but it's good enough for me.  I was the only bidder in the auction so I got the card for the opening bid of ten bucks.  That's a pretty good deal for a card that rarely surfaces on Ebay.

PSA lists the cards three different ways on the list.  Its shown once as a solo and twice as a part of the complete panel.  In 1966 Billy shared the panel with Al Kaline and Eddie Fisher. The next year his partners were Al Kaline and Matty Alou.

This card puts me at a completion rate of 78%.  That's 107 down, 31 to go.

  1. Sweet Williams! Maybe it's due to scarcity, but I don't see Bazooka baseball cards popping up on blog posts very often.
