Sportscasters Beauties - Craigslist Purchase

Photo in the C-list listing just showed 1000 or so cards in the original Sportscaster red and yellow containers, so I asked for some pics of some of the cards that were behind the Ball Sports dividers...lo and behold the pics contained Bird and Magic, so that was all I needed to see to make the purchase. I could also see the Ice Sports divider so was hoping I'd be lucky enough to find Gretzky once I got the cards home. Very happy -- now just have to wait til next year so I can submit them for grading. Almost all cards look as if they were hardly handled once they were purchased back in the late 70's. Pretty much all of the greats were included, but I only had my daughter take pics of some of the ones I like the most.

What a score for that price!
Excellent... I loved collecting those as a kid.
Where have you gotten the sleeves that you use for these cards? I'd love to get some for my Sportscasters!
Looks like he uses the 5x7 postcard soft sleeves and then 6x9 top loaders both can be found on eBay

correct -- I am anxiously awaiting the day when I can submit my Sportscaster cards for a "reasonable" price...they are in excellent condition and should garner pretty high grades...
