    This is what is on my front burner right now.

    The two coolest stories I know. Steve Bilko- It took almost a year to get them back. Maybe cool is the wrong word here, but my Dad had given up in getting it back. The day that Mr. Bilko died, the cards were in the mail. Roger Maris- sent him a letter, to his business address, asking him if...

    Most were at games. He also got quite a few back ttm in the 60's and 70's. I know one of the Mantles he got at a show where we had Mantle.

    ---------- Morning Thread ----------

    Let me do some research. I pretty sure there is a book that was issued for them to be pasted in. I have a 64 Mantle that is so nice, except for the paper loss. I've heard a theory that they were produced, in South America, by an ex Topps employee( in the 60's) hence the inferior paper quality...

    ---------- Morning Thread ----------

    So I've heard that the '64 Venz's have so much paper loss b/c they were supposed to be pasted in a book put out by the company. Notice how I said company. I've always thought something was foul with those things...

    A little project I've been working on>>>

    Yeah they do. Congrats on the Duke. Of all the players I ever met he was the most genuine. We took him out to eat after a show and he picked up the tab. Class act all the way.

    Rookie Cards That You Should Own, but Probably Don’t

    Wow, what a sale. $10,000 for a Jeter '98 Bowman Chrome Golden Anniversary Refractor.

    Delahanty is one of the oddest sports stories ever. Can you imagine if that happened to someone of his caliber today?

    Sorry y'all I've been lazy today. I have a job interview tomorrow. I'll post the rest of the '62's before I go. I'm going to stop using my crappy camera phone and break out the camera.

    1985 Topps Rack Case

    Topps would sell cases to candy vendors to put in the machines that dispensed cards. They called them cut cases b/c they were cards that were cut from printing sheets, just like the cards that they packed, but these were never packed and sold in case form packed in randomly collated 800 count...

    I bought a certified auto for .50... I was actually upset at the guy for selling it that cheap. Does that make any sense?

    Name a movie in which baseball cards make an appearance

    Does anyone remember Encyclopedia Brown? They did a how episode that was set at a card show. They had a made up player with a made up card that was a bastardization of a 1988 Donruss.
