Oooh, a Barry Bonds baseball card where he still had his original size head. That's got to be worth a few quid.
Kirby Pucket was a great player IMO...
TM,
I'm not sure as I have the slightest idea how much cards go for...
I used to collect baseball cards as a kid, I had a Ricky Henderson card when he broke the stolen bases record. I also had McGwire rookie card and a Dave Stewart card where he was in a tuxedo. I also had "Bo Breaker" which was Bo Jackson breaking his bat on his thigh after striking out...
I sold all my cards when I was a kid....
But you got to admit 4 out 6 are HOF,and the other two should probably be,and 2 rookie cards as well
That would be a Joe Montana rookie,a Barry Bonds Rookie,A Pete Rose limited edition Ralston Purina,A Bill Mazeroski Post limited edition,a second year Larry Bird,and Sports Flicks Kirby Puckett
Considering that Montana rookie card is going for 33 K on ebay, Im looking to buy a new gym
Was about to say that the Barry, Kirby and Montana cards look like rookie cards... Was wrong about the Kirby.
Damn!! That is a fucken sweet collection.
How did you get them?
Bought them when they came out,until the last 4 years I had a tradition where Id buy at least one pack of cards every year,I just love the "you never know what your going to get"part of itQuote:

No joke, I have a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth about 12-15k. (was my dad's of course...)
I cant believe the Montana rookie is going for 33 KQuote:

If I ever have a son I'd like to pass on my memorabilia to him.
Those are pretty nice T.M. You have me thinking about paying my storage bill so I can access my stuff Lol. I used to be a Baseball junkie....actually sat there and scored em & stat logged for a while,Dodgers,A's, and the Reds around 90-94.Once the strike came though......I said so long to it and went Boxing fanatic full time ;DQuote:

Dennis... GOAT pitcher IMO. :cool:

I had several of those same cards. Didn't sell them though, had em in the back of my parents car that got stolen. Broke down on the highway and when they went back to get it, it was gone. We got a call like 5 years later it was parked in a parking garage at Chicago airport for several years. The bastards took my cards and left the shitty car!!!Quote:

Weird thought I just had....I wonder how many Joe Montana rookie cards Joe Montana has?
I also buy a pack of cards every once in a while, my grandpa did too and I have his collection and have 7 Joe Montana rookie cards. Also 3 Jerry Rice rookie cards (hilarious picture of his draft day suit) and a heap of others I will have to look through one of these days.
My prized possession though is an Upper Deck Signature Series Walter Payton autographed card. It was randomly inserted into a pack I got for 10 dollars, like 20 packs of cards and that was the last one I opened. I opened it about 2 years after his death. I wish I had a picture, don't know if I do I will look around my inbox.
The weirdest card I have is a Michael Jordan card. It's his drivers license. A cardboard card of his Illinois drivers license. It is very bizarre, it doesn't have a card company or anything like that on it, no stats on the back just a copy of his drivers license. I know I have a picture of that I will take a look.
Once for my brother's birthday he got an entire year's set with a ton of rookie cards, whatever year Mark McGuire was a rookie that was the year set he got and he had a Jerry Rice rookie card too.
If you want to see how much it is worth, get Beckett I think that is what the magazine is called. I don't think just any Montana rookie card is worth 33K otherwise I would be posting from Cabo right now. I've looked one of them up in Beckett before it was worth like 10 dollars I think. That was just one though and it wasn't mint but most of the cards are.
I decided long ago that if I ever got really really rich, I would buy a Honus Wager t 209. Wayne Gretzky bought one for 500K. I believe there are only 8 or 9 in existence. I think the old story is that they were tobacco cards and cards used to come with tobacco, Honus Wagner strongly condemned the use of tobacco so he ordered a halt to it all. He got the ones that had been printed and ripped them all in half. A few got out though and a few stuck around and those are the ones out there today in Cooperstown and in the homes of the insanely rich.
Of course I'm not sure that story is true but that's how I've always heard it. I love baseball, I really do a lot of the reason is because of that history. Of course I know next to nothing about the history of baseball with the exception of the Giants who I studied up and down after getting the media guide from a friend of ours.
I'm rambling here.
Gretzky owned it years ago but he's sold it since...Quote:

I remember the Beckett books.. I used to sit there and spend hours in the afternoon looking up the price of my cards...
Like you, when I'd see anything above 2-3 bucks I thought I was in the money. :cool:
;D
Interesting thought there,I wonder how many comp cards Topps used to slip to a playerQuote:
