Some of the little spots on the front are dust particles picked up from the desk when I was taking pictures.
I like that Soto card, could be an 8. Very nice card. That his rookie?
Indeed it is.
I think that Ray Knight card is the best of the bunch. It's a definite PSA 8.

Great shape. Get some 77’s

It is impressive how great of condition they are in. I started getting cards in 1981 (Topps mainly), started collecting regularly the 1983 Topps and until 1987 I kept cards sorted by team and wrapped in rubber bands. Played with cards, compared stats. My 1981-1986 Topps aren’t in great shape for the most part. I’m fortunate my Ripken, Gwynn, Clemens, McGwire rookies aren’t in too bad of shape. The way I did things for my 78 topps to be in that great of shape I’d have to have really loved the condition of cards to keep them that great and basically never touch them.
I could likely throw together the 1983 Topps Reds and they’d be 3-6 graded. So I’m impressed with all their condition.
Baseball card big timers are some weird guys.
These guys were 50¢ each.

Bench all-star card $0.50? Solid. Those are very good as well. I do like the 77’s. 77’s holding and raising value better than most 70’s years. 76-78 I like them all. 75’s unique and have some interest because so different. 73-74 too similar with so many bad pics and cards done long ways. 72’s are neat, look old. 71’s are so hard to find in really good shape. 70 boring but sharp cards.
He actually threw that one in for free. It displays well, but has a slight crease in the upper left corner that you can't really see unless you look hard.

Joel Youngblood, there is a name that sticks out, he made history by getting a hit off of two hall of famers...
*edit* I did not look on I92 trivia page to see if that had been mentioned, TLDR
Just picked up this beauty.

What’s it worth? Not a fan of the game used inserts....autograph is cool and a nice looking card.

It’s worth what I paid. No idea on book value, I don’t deal with those numbers.
eBay auction went for $45.

Lol, I get that. Just wondering
3 hours left on this PSA 7 Mantle RC. Currently at $25k. What do you think it ends at? I'm going to say $195k.

I prefer the topps
What did it go for?
Price hasn't budged in 2 hours. Meanwhile a Chipper Jones RC went for $100k+ a few weeks ago. It was a PSA 10, but this PSA 7 is much more impressive.
I bet it jumps up pretty quick towards the end.

How much money would you have to have to be comfortable dropping $100k+ on a baseball card?
I don't even know if I can answer that question. How many cars and houses would I have before I got around to spending $1M on a handful of baseball cards? I'm thinking over $100M.
If I had $10m cash I'd consider dropping $100k on the right card.
Just under $30k. I was way off.

Well, maybe the huge collectors of the 1950-2000 guys all have the Mantle cards and new rich guys of this century aren’t enamored by the great Mantle?
Which is more sought after, 51' Bowman or 52' Topps?
