Ok,
Just got home, have to go unload the car. Basically cherry picked about 30 bins of stuff..

Here are the highlights...

71 topps baseball vending box
all sorts of tiffany sets
original photos taken for topps cards..
52 topps reprint sets
garbage pail kids series 1 uncut sheets
1962,1963 topps promo sheets
80-81 basketball vending
78 football vending
84 topps football grocery
1983 topps fun bags with assorted packs

TONS of items that must have been at meeting where they were introducing new product..
its a black board with some cards glued to the border with a small writeup about the product..

One of them is for 1972 topps baseball cloth cards and it has a hank aaron card on it
Tons of non sports stuff..
Some original photos of naked women from the 60s????

A letter from Sy berger about some joe dimaggio card (which is included)

1990 topps george bush cards that were only given to his family. (i told her to keep those because i remember reading about them
and i know they are at least $1000.. so no reason to take them with me until i get some offers)

I can't think right now, need to go unload the car and see whats in there..
Need lots of help on figuring out what is what..

It is my job to sell all of this stuff for the woman I got it from.

Roger-

Will be back in an hour with some scans

    Those 1990 Topps Bush cards are crazy-valuable.

    Get them slabbed and you'll make a fortune!

    I never heard of 1972 topps cloth.. were they ever released?
  • estangestang Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭
    Very cool! It must be like Christmass morning as a 7 year old going through that stuff.
    Enjoy your collection!

    Roger

    I'm looking forward to some scans.

    What do you mean by 62/63 promo sheets? Do you mean uncut sheets? How many cards?

    What's on the back? Blank - regular - or some kind of saleman's writing/advertising?

    This is the best to come here in some time!!!!

  • RogermnjRogermnj Posts: 1,809 ✭✭

    Congrats on some great stuff.
    The advertising back is worth a ton more than the blank back, though both will bring some nice coin...

    I'll take the photos of the naked chicks image
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Holy f*ing chit. That is.....

    ...um I'm really not that interested but when you list them on ebay, post it here at CU to alert us and maybe I'll bid, maybe. It really isn't that interesting to me, really it's not. I mean it...it's just not that interesting and really not worth that much money to bid on even if I was interested but perhaps maybe I'll bid on it if I'm bored and have nothing else better to do. Really I mean it...it's just not that interesting. image

    Because my old boss had almost the exact same type of stuff. I havent talked to her in a few years so i was wondering if this was the same batch of stuff, or if this is a seperate group from someone else

    There are 3 sisters who all got stuff from their grandfather years ago..

    They threw away about 99% of it... sold .5% of it about 12 years ago and have about .5% left that i am selling off for them.

    I have a store plus a few print ads for buying, so i get calls all the time. Most are junk, but every so often you hit something nice... As for the topps stuff, my boss of about 5 years had a small hoard of odd topps stuff such as those mentioned in this thread, so it could be very possible its the same group.

    I have never seen anything from the 60s with the word "PROMO" on it?

    I think it's a great item!

    Tho, I will say - I could see some people being a bit incredulous.

    If legit - those will bring some nice coin!

    Thanx for the scans.

    Sounds like the same batch of stuff.... The only things i got about 3 years ago where a bunch of photos that were used to make cards in the 80's. Pretty interesting items...

    I think the story is that the grandfather was the elevator operator in the main topps building and was given most of this stuff through the years. Hr was aq smart man to keep a lot of it.

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Incredible salesman's stuff!!!!!

    This simple sales sheet - one page went for in the hundreds at the Toppsvault months back:

    Those cardboard samples are way too cool and much more appealing to buyers than paper!!!

  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,438 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Great stuff Roger - perhaps this needs to be highlighted in an upcoming auction with one of the big houses rather than ebay?

    Just a thought - not sure which one is best for sales right now? Mastro, Heritage, etc.?

    That's the 62 Auravision card/record - there's a complete set of them.

    If memory serves, the 62 is much rarer than the 64 set?

    I've seen "records" like that on ebay on a semi-regular basis - they are fairly common and usually sell for under $20 if this is the same item.
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,761 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow, these are absolutely incredible items! An unsearched 1971 Topps baseball vending box is worth about 4K at least! Keep the scans coming!

    People kept the records, threw away the cards.

    Unfortunately the 71 topps vending is 100% searched and handled very well.
    def no 10s in there sorry to disappoint image

    This is my first post. I've been lurking here for years but only was able to get my registration approved a few months ago.

    Even though I don't really actively collect any longer, I love looking at this kind of material. Thanks for posting it!
