I BOUGHT AN OLD BOX FULL OF 1970's SPORTS CARDS! STARS, ROOKIES & HOFers - Weekend Recap

Yesterday I drove to Pittsburgh to buy a metal shelving unit off somebody from FB marketplace and little did I realize that I would return home with a box of vintage sports cards!

At the time of the Special offer from Nabisco, I ordered 2 Don Drysdales( he just passed on at the time), and I received both of them! I knew some people who didn't receive any! I remember It was back in 1994 or 95'?... They were booking for 90.00 bucks at the time. Hope my input enlightens U?....

    Hello sir, I actually had a very similar situation happen with me in which I acquired a lot of cards from all sports. From the late 60s up to the late 90s. I haven’t gone through them all but already would like to liquidate them. Is there an easier solution other than eBay or Amazon? Taking all the pictures and stuff is literally kicking my butt lol. But if I want to get rid of them I don’t see any other way. Any suggestions anyone??? I dunno 🤷🏾‍♂️

Then TWO Winfield rookies??? Jim Rice's 2nd year card in Vintage Beckett was listed at $25, it used to be $4, that's how much cards have risen, and then you pull his rookie...... Mike Schmidt's 2nd year is even better, nice. Bubba Smith the famous actor of Police Academy fame, I have one of his cards. Congrats! What a find........ Thank you for showing!

On the Dock Ellis game which some dispute, he was very wild and walked 8 and the batters were a little afraid because the ball was everywhere. He didn't think he was supposed to be pitching that day.
