My dad's stash!

[Mighty Bombjack]

Back in the 80s, when I got a good report card my dad used to take me to the card shop and buy me some stuff. He bought me a few nice vintage cards, but mostly I wanted boxes of Topps (this was the second half of the 80s-I should've stayed away from the wax and got more vintage!). I remembered that he would usually buy himself a card or two whenever we went. Several years back he put his cards into his safety deposit box.

Recently, he had to close his old safety deposit box, and he is opening a new one at a different location in a couple of weeks. I knew that he had some nice vintage, but I wasn't sure exactly what was there. I asked him to send me scans while they were in hand, and here's what he sent me. I'm wondering if I should send a few in for grading or not, though he may not be so big on that...

Anyway, enjoy some nice scans (EDIT-sorry they are so huge, I'll work on that).

Woo hoo!! Those are some beauties Wayne! Love the Clemente Rookie, I have most other Clemente's but not the '55.

As a vintage collector and Ted W. collector I have several of those in my collection as well.

Not sure what I would recommend with regads to grading. In my (worthless) opinion, I'd say you mostly have PSA 4's and 5's, with perhaps one or two better and/or worse.

Thanks for sharing......

That's quite the stash! Reese looks like a giant. Skip the grading, let the cards breathe.

Obviously, that Seaver is my favorite but the Koufax looks so clean it could be a reprint. Thanks for sharing!
