Huge find from former topps employee... GEORGE BUSH SCAN ADDED.

Rogermnj

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!

Rogermnj

I never heard of 1972 topps cloth.. were they ever released?

estang

Very cool! It must be like Christmass morning as a 7 year old going through that stuff.

Bosox1976

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!!!!

mike

Rogermnj

what did the clemente sell for ??

Thanks for your help!

Rogermnj

that sheet i just posted has a blank back.

I have another one with advertisement... coming up!!!

tedh111

These items didnt happen to come from a lady in monmouth county did they?

Bosox1976

I couldn't see the price on the Clemente on VCP as I am not a subscriber...

baseballfanatic

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

shagrotn77

I'll take the photos of the naked chicks

Monmouth County? Right by me! How do you guys get these tips????

Rogermnj

Why do you ask?

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.

Buccaneer

Wow. I'm speechless.

tedh111

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.

Stone193

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.

What are you trying to do? Ruin me financially? I am not selling my house and my car for these cards...do you hear me!!!















Well, maybe I can start taking the bus to work.

Rogermnj

tedh111

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...

Rogermnj

Everything is def from topps.

I have magazines with SY berger on the address label...

Rogermnj

can anyopne with VCP check a price for me on the clemente 72 cloth sticker please

Rogermnj

tedh111

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.

baseballfanatic

I'll gladly pay the 29 cent advertised price for that Rak Pak

stown

Holy crap.

Fantastic find and best of luck

Stone193

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!!!

Please stop, I'm so excited my wife things I'm looking at porn!!!

Stone193

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.?

mike

stevek

<< <i>Please stop, I'm so excited my wife things I'm looking at porn!!! >>




This is better than porn.


Man, I must be getting old. LOL

Rogermnj

any clues what this is???

Stone193

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?

mike

Rogermnj

That willie mays came along with a whitey ford in this envelope.... Good old days of a 3cent stamp!

stevek

<< <i>any clues what this is???

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.

grote15

Wow, these are absolutely incredible items! An unsearched 1971 Topps baseball vending box is worth about 4K at least! Keep the scans coming!

stevek

People kept the records, threw away the cards.

Rogermnj

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

gemint

Not only the 3c stamp but also no need to include a zip code!

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!
