Laughed when I saw that ‘85 Donruss Mattingly posted above because I had just bought this at the antique mall yesterday. I also thought the write up on the back was interesting, something I didn’t know, especially with 1-2 same team batting title connections with the Tigers. The shot of Mattingly is kind of funny.

This is how I remember Mattingly.

There was a printing variation of this card too. White letters instead of yellow and Pink instead of red writing.

That’s cool, I’ll look into the other ones when I get home. Right now I’m in the market for some Mattingly as a manager cards.

Anybody in the know have an opinion, thought, or information on these Babe Ruth’s, Jackson’s, and Gehrig cards below. Be cool to get them in a bundle deal:

My opinion is the person whom owns this knows what they are doing and the cards that are potentially worth thousands if real are all reprints.

That Playball Jackson card looks like it was made to look worn.

This is just by two pics. I would need to hold them up to the light and feel them. Look at them through a loop but I think they are reprints.

If not they are worth a lot of money.

Basically you don't sell a 3K card for $250.

Interesting. Thanks.

Do you trust sellers on eBay? I usually will just buy from sellers with a lot of sales and/or 96%+ rating.

ebay guarantees cards authentic now over $100. They get authenticated before they ship so that is a good thing. So yes.

Something else that is getting me about those cards is the first page and that Jackson card is a famous photo of him and was used in a card game. I do not remember seeing that style of card.

Thanks again.
yeah, the Ruth’s and Jackson’s were at a collectibles store and caught my eye. I tried looking some info up to no avail, if I stop there again I’ll see if I can get some better pics.

anyone remember these cards from the 70's/80's? I think i have almost all of them from one of those years.]

1980 Kelloggs Set Brought Back Big Names and Introduced Slimmer Design

1979 Kelloggs Set Draws Interest From Error Collectors

1980 Kelloggs cards. Those were great. We also had Drakes Cakes cards on the East coast.

i have pretty much all of the ones with Schmidt on them. I think that was the '80 series.I don't think i have any Drakes Cakes cards (maybe one or two?). I'll have to look for them.

Kelloggs was from 70-80 then I believe Drakes took over.

Drakes has the duck on it. I love the early kelloggs cards though. so ahead of their time.

Mbappe and Haaland are huge stars.. kinda like saying I like Ohtani and Trout…lol

I collect Dutch and Ajax players after going to a few matches in Amsterdam… Gravenberch is a kid that made the Dutch national team and first team Ajax at 18.. he plays for famous Bayern Munich now..

So far he hasn’t done much, but for $10ish each it was worth the gamble… ya never know.. the angels gave him $2 million to sign a minor league contract, so they must have a little faith in him..

When you watched both of them come up young and become stars there is a reason to collect them. Haaland surprised me the most so far.

I like Pulisic too Been watching him forever it seems.

If you like to collect average guys good for you.

Buy 10's and not 9's though.

If he still grows then maybe. The new guys Zeto and Rada seem to be legit for the Halos. Keep an eye out for them.

Wow that was rude…I never said you shouldn’t collect them or anything else. I simply said they are established superstars now and comparing them to a prospect is kinda unfair… That’s like you posting a newly drafted 4th round QB prospect and someone saying “I like Brady and Rodgers”

People collect what they like and what makes them happy, for various reasons, not always necessarily what others may think is the “best” or even things that others may think is “average”. Not all are collectibles are bought just for future resell value.

Buy 10s not 9s

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t believe every card has to be a perfect 10 or even be graded to be enjoyed.

Sorry, but it seems like every other thread here has to turn to negative comments and judging others… just tired of it..

Like the time I posted my Trout RCs and you called me a liar, only for me to prove you wrong. Then you “ Apologized” and tell me to go fuck myself at the same time… dude I’ve always tried to be friendly to you yet you seem to never reciprocate the respect.

Not all threads here need to have conflict. There are plenty of political threads in the moving train area where that’s expected and even encouraged… baseball card threads should be sharing and fun…

I’m guessing you’ll get pissed and call me some shit without really reading into this post and that’s okay… you do you.

Peace..

Umm, no. You made it into something Hoss, sorry. I wasn't rude at all, that is how I write, short and to the point. Take it to PM instead and clear the air, [name-calling removed. see the Posting Guidelines]

I'm passionate about cards and voicing my opinion is not confrontation, not in the slightest.

Rumor has it that the Jones bounty card will be pulled in a blaster. Take that with a grain of salt.

The Pearl cards in Hobby are a nice touch albeit rare as hell. I am watching a Rada on ebay right now.

I picked the Halos in two breaks and did good. Both yielded autos that I will sit on for a few years and see what happens.

How've you done?
