Remember the good old days

Knopfler

when you wrapped your cards up in rubberbands??

I especially like the good old days when I would laminate some of my favorite cards...like my '57 Yankee Power Hitters card that by today's standards would grade NM 7. I wonder if PSA would put a qualifier on it like:

PSA NM 7 (kids an idiot) -or-
PSA NM 7 (laminated, woops!)

...ahhhh, the good old days...

I don't know, I think Johnny Bench was pretty good. Are you saying that Bench wasn't as good as Terry Kennedy?

Not really. Looks like the value of the lot went from about $10.00 to just a little less than $10.00.

I really want that 1987 pile! My computer desk is wobbling, and I could use them as spacers to help balance it out.

I sure hope the reserve isn't too high. I'm going to try to bid on it at the last second. Maybe I can get that sticker for my collection! Does PSA grade stickers?

There's a dealer at Fort Washington that still does the rubber band thing. I have a hard time watching him double band those stacks of cards when I walk by his table.... and you can see other collectors cringe when they see it too. His cards are all in Poor condition.... but still I wish he'd come up with some other system.... just out of respect.

In 1992 a guy comes over to the house and knew I was collecting stuff and dropped a stack of crappy looking magazines held together by some cheesey looking twine and I thought: here it comes. And in the middle of the junk was a Brooklyn 1955 World series program in really nice shape! At the time, we didn't know what it was worth and he gave me the pile for $25. You never know where your next discovery is going to come from!
