JolleyWrencher

Per forum rules we get 1 post selling so I will edit/update the original post to make it easier to know what's available. Posting for my Uncle, an elderly friend, and myself.

My uncle -
Hundreds of Kenner starting lineups with the bulk being 1991. All sports. I believe he has cooperstown too. Most are in Mint or near perfect condition. Kept in climate controlled and pet/smoke free environment. He has cards too but I have no idea what he wants to keep or sell at this time. He still buys raw football rookie every year. A few of his are at PSA currently.
My uncle seems to want top dollar for a few of his starting lineups (Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, and probably a few others) but he would cut a deal if you were buying bulk.

My uncle is currently 83 and is very slow. I don't know how well people would understand him on the phone so he may prefer to have me help, maybe not.

Larry's Nascar Collectables
Helping an elderly guy, Larry, get rid of his possessions as he is nearing end of life. He owned a sporting cards store, mainly Nascar, and has lots of Nascar stuff as well as vintage sports cards. Most cards are not well preserved and we're finding them randomly as we declutter his house and storage garage. Many Nascar autographs. Vintage cards range from a creased 1933 goudy, mainly 60s/70s baseball and football, and then non-sports vintage stuff like Elvis.

Larry is a lonely 76 year old, former circle track racer, who definitely seems like a BSer. "Make me an offer, I know what I paid for it" is how he operates which is annoying. He would gladly talk to anyone, all day, and would need me to box/ship because he no longer drives and barely walks. This guy has a lot of random antiques because he also used to help his buddy run an auction business.

My stuff -
Selling everything except a few LBJ, MJ, BJ and trying to acquire 1993/94 fleer ultra basketball PSA10 Scoring Kings 10 card set.

Pokemon/Pocket Monster (played cards)
Lots of 1996 pocket monster and 1999 pokemon game as well as TV animation cards. I imagine over 100 1st edition original print run, shadowless, and unlimited cards which also includes some 1st edition Jungle cards. As some probably wondered there is a Charizard holo with black dot error (psa has option specifically for the error since it was repeated and corrected before the end of the print run). Some stuff is currently as PSA. Many holos, trainers, and energies.
Also the original 1999 first edition rule book, 1999 Nintendo power magazine, and all 6 of the original comic.

Lots of Bo Jackson cards and other memorabilia. Full case of 24 MVP pins, all Topps 70 cards (no foil or artist proofs) including the 541C card, 5 desert shield graded PSA9 or BGS9, error cards (missing holos, wrong back, no back, etc.), and variations from Canada.

LBJ and MJ - just ask if there's something you're looking for. I sold 75% of my MJ collection a few years ago so I'm left with a few cheap cards and mainly the more expensive ones. I have Chicago Bulls/Blackhawks stadium seats from late 1980s upgrade. I also have floor pieces from both the 80s update and final tear down (COAs included although I believe one is fake).

Autographed baseball - Willie May's and many other negro league players. The packaging for the ball appears to be a negro league commemorative company. Autograph includes "Mr. Cub"

Also 2021/2022 baseball cards (Topps holiday and heritage) I ripped while chasing a card I should have just bought on ebay instead

2021/22 basketball and football. Mainly panini/donruss and mainly Raiders/Royals

I am not motivated to sell anything of mine that I specifically sought out but would sell 99% of what I have if somebody else is looking for it and is willing to pay what I did minimally. I am happy to provide proof of purchase for things I purchased through auction sites such as eBay, and pwcc.

There are plenty of cards I have that aren't worth much ($0.01 - $25) and would give away the commons for shipping costs. If you're wanting lots for just shipping then I may request a beer/joint for my time.

I hate throwing stuff away and so I plan to give away a lot of cheap stuff for free at a garage sale we are prepping for and to the local kids during sports events next year as my kids will both be seniors.

Sorry l didn't provide many specifics as you all know it's hard to list everything. I prefer phone calls for efficiency sake and then text/email for sharing picture...or live video now that we got fiber in rural Iowa last week!

Cheers
Jesse

My uncle mentioned his starting lineup collection ranges from 1988-2000. Most of them 1988-1994.

He has some hockey as well.
Some of the starting lineup cards graded 9 or 10 can fetch a good amount.

He decided to cut open the 1990 SLU Bo Jackson (rookie for SLU) to get graded since it's mint condition. He gave me the figure since I am likely the biggest BJ collector in the state. This is now my favorite sports item I own and means more to me than $100k worth of cards because my uncle is the original owner and it was a gift.

Well that was an interesting read. Sounds like it could be fun decluttering your Uncle’s place. Sounds like a scavenger hunt.

My Uncles is pretty organized and clean. Larry's place is definitely the place of interest. Would be better if he had preserved all his stuff.

Last night he found all his 1964 Braves cards. He has others he is looking for including some vintage autographed cards.

Love the Bo figure being gifted to you via your Uncle!
