    Great story. Lot's of historic stuff there hidden away. It will be similar 60+ years from now when someone's digging through my PJ stuff. Hope I'll pass it  to a fan who cares before I check out! Will anyone care about guitar picks, posters, stickers, pins, bats, skatedecks........probably not.

    Thats pretty awesome.  That stuff is priceless and so uncommon (much of it 1-of-a-kind).

    I sold a small collection of cards for a surprising amount of money with Hunt Auctions a few months back.  Turned that into a Mantle ball!  I'll figure out how to post photos.

    I think being at home all the time has made people bigger collectors and more precise collectors; it certainly has for me.  I'm curating my baseball collection a bit and rearranging prints etc.  Fun stuff, but I think I'd trade it all for a beer in a ballpark. :)

    Geez out of all the rare cards this one i had was my best chance of having. A Todd Zeile '90 Donruss ":Rated Rookie" card. This variant card is missing the"." after Inc on the back of the card and is selling for a couple thousand on ebay (one person has it for like $20,000)

    I am hoping that you are joking and know that's all a scam?

    Look up Jose Uribe cards for more on that.  Absolutely comical.

    FYI if anyone had cards they wanted to sell you had better do it soon.  The bubble is starting to burst again on them.

    No I wasn't joking. I had no idea it was a "scam". Thought it was odd that it was selling for that high. Never heard about the Uribe card either. Pretty interesting., thanks for the info.

    Yep, sorry that you aren’t going to be rich, lol. There were soooo many printing variations of these cards and sooooo many printed that these are almost worthless. 

    The Uribe card I believe was used in a money laundering case. It sold for some ungodly amount and others thought it was legit and started listing theirs too, lol.

    Such an iconic card. People seek out all the variations. Scribble, white box, black box, cut outs. All sorts of them!

    it’s a great card and you should display it.

    Well I don't have either of those cards. I do have some of the Donruss "error' cards with the no period after the Inc part but doubt they are worth anything.  I did look up about that Uribe card, pretty insane stuff.

    I just never found any interest in card collecting.  I know their value makes them flippable and that makes them collectable, but as far as memorabilia goes, I have yet to see a way to display cards well.  The small collection I have are from the 50s and 60s and they sit in a cool wood box that my dad made, but that never leaves the drawer!

    I'll buy them off you or trade you PJ stuff.

    What say you?

    These are for graded cards but there are other picture frame type displays you can buy.

    Haha I'm not saying I want to move them.  I just don't think they display as nicely as say, a signed baseball.  But to each their own!
