I’m not a PBA fan and I don’t know who those people are but those cards are fantastic.

Thanks. I was a fan in the 70's and 80's when Roth played. He was fun to watch. But I dont follow the sport on TV anymore. I think all four cards might be Rookie cards, but not sure. The Williams and Weber cards are pop 1's with none higher. Cant find any pop number on the other two.

Pretty sure that's Weber's rookie card. Can't speak for the rest. I was looking up some of his cards recently because he signs through the mail. Nice lookin cards

PBA member here.....have had the opportunity to bowl with 3 of the 4 in tournaments in the last couple years. Norm Duke is pretty much retired as of the last month (although he did leave it open to bowl in select tournaments). Weber and Williams still bowl Senior events. Cant really give a value since not a lot of bowling cards are sent in, but I do collect them myself.

You're a professional bowler?

Cool cards. I have the Weber and duke signed. If bowling hits an upswing in society these have monster potential, Weber particularly.

Seeing the Weber card got me wondering.....does John Holmes have a rookie card?

You think the Weber card would be more valuable than Williams? Williams holds the records.

Yes, although not full time. I tend to bowl in the regional tournaments, I did have one cash in the only national I bowled in back in 2005. Havent bowled much the last couple years as I have been taking chemotherapy for blood cancer. Finally got into remission about 3 months ago, so am building my strength back to bowl in the PBA50 events more regularly starting with the Senior Masters in Vegas in June.

Here's a few of my bowling autos/memorabilia cards. I have some more, but I just moved, so a lot of them are packed up.

Nice Roth auto. I Never followed Pete Weber, but used to enjoy watching his dad bowl on tv. He had alot of fans.

Pete Weber is a maniac.

Really not sure. Not a historian myself to be able to determine that. Weber is certainly the most famous. I would think that is what will make the difference in the end.

I am a fan of bowling and have collected PBA memorabilia and cards. I don't remember seeing any of these cards graded in the past, however I don't know how many bowling collectors care about graded cards. This set has mostly been used for autographs.

My guess is they are worth maybe $30-$40 each on the Roth/Duke and maybe $50-$60 on Weber/Williams. If they were my cards and I was looking to sell them, I would probably put the Duke and Roth cards out there first at $99 obo and see if I get any interest. You have a very limited group of buyers who may be interested, but it only takes 1 buyer. So I think it's worth trying it at $99obo.

That is interesting that Weber is more famous considering he has never won the 'player of the year' award. While Williams holds the record winning it seven times.

I bought that 1990 Kingpins set in its box for $1 at a local show. Did I do well ?

I like pro bowling which has changed quite a bit. Many bowlers now use a 2 handed style of delivery.

Plus there's some legacies in the making like Dick/Pete Weber and Guppy/Kyle Troup (Kyle's a 2 handed bowler)....

Unfortunately Mark Roth is no longer with us.

Have no idea what those cards are worth? But, they're way too cool.

Thanx for sharing. 👍
