Updated Nov. 16, 2011 PRIORITY SETS: 1959-1964

Sad to say, Billy Hoeft has passed away. What a great guy. ( May 17, 1932 – March 16, 2010)
Founder, President, and no longer the only member of the Official Billy Hoeft Fan Club. EEK and Mike Rich have forced their way in. Time to get membership cards printed I guess. Any and all Billy items will be given a wonderful new home, pictures, and articles, whatever!

I need: '57 Graphic Arts Postcard #11, '61? Jay Publishing (Photo Pack) and any other odds and ends I may have missed. June 2008: I have just found out that there is a 1966 Pro's Pizza issue for Billy, and I WANT one! And a 2010 Topps Heritage, guess I’ll have to get one of those, too.

* indicates card is coming in trade

MOST WANTED LIST:

1950 Remar Oakland Oaks George Bamburger (just because, okay?) Got one, thank you Family Toad!
1966(?) Pro's Pizza Billy Hoeft Cubs

This is insane. Doug inspired me to start a type card set of beater-only Zeenuts. I have 1923, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 1931.

Bama started me off on my Impossible Dream….1933 Canadian Goudeys (French/English backs) I have:
3 5 12 13 17 32 33 39 48 51 56 57 73 75 81 86 88 91 92 94

Any '50's cards not listed ( in beater condition) are most welcome, please save the nice ones for the guys that care! You never know, I might start a new set with a head start…

1950 Remar- have 54 56 60 61 62 63 64 (Or start me on another year!)

1967 Topps Nov/2010 I swore I wouldn’t do this, but….I have OPC finished, and it only runs to 198. But I really like this set, so would like to have a run at 199 and up. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel! Strict condition requirements on this set, PSA 0 minimum! Low Priority…
