    As is always postulated...Just imagine if any of our families (or some of you that were old enough to collect 52s when they arrived on the scene) bought 10 of those boxes, took them home, they got thrown in a box somewhere and left untouched due to forgetting about them. The sheets and pennants aren't too shabby either...

    These never get old.



    Here's Sy with the 1971 black-bordered beauties...

    How about the 1953 release...

    Or the military cadet back in approximately 1910-1911 with the t206s and other cigarette cards on his wall...

    I think the only one missing is the one with the ladies boxing up the 1974 wax & cellos on the assembly line. Tim has that one saved I believe.



    Edited to add: I found it pretty easily.

    I bet if any of those ladies had teenage boys, they were bugging them to bring boxes home all the time!

    Wow, I've been collecting for a while and have never seen these pictures. Thanks to all for sharing. I was born in 1953 and sure wish I had a time machine.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Cool thread!

    BTW, regarding the old photo of the young man in the dormitory room with all the tobacco cards on the wall, check out this cool blog post which meticulously identifies each card on the wall.

    Here's another card related photo, used for a Sotheby's catalog awhile back...

    Looks like same kid on the far left. Appears to be the same box and same way cards are banded. Could be a coincidence, but if not, I wonder what these scenes are from. We need a 50s/60s movie guru.

    A couple more to celebrate I found while trying to tie those other two together.

    Anyone have some software to be able to get a better eye on the ones behind the guy sitting? (click twice to zoom on it)

    Best I can do with zoom.

    And the other one I found while surfing.

    Found this one years ago:

    and I did a thread years ago on Joe E. Brown - comedian movie actor who was a big sports collector:

    Looks to me like the Sotheby's photos are modern day recreations. JMO

    Not related to the pictures, but on the Dick Van Dyke Show, Dick Van Dyke's character would often bring home packs of baseball cards to his kid. I used to be jealous after seeing one of those episodes.

    I can just imagine all of the damage to those 1974 boxes from bouncing around the conveyor belts. Those are all some pretty cool pictures.

    In the shorpy photo, nice T206 Speaker just to the left of his right shoulder. Would be fun for the eagle-eyed among us to match up every mostly visible card to a better scan of same.

    $107.23 one purchase created $80 of it with 10x multiplier. Got the two below and have about $20 left. Better not spend it all in one place

  • Dand522612Dand522612 Posts: 417 ✭✭✭

    Sorry wrong forum and double picture. Have to slow down a bit

    If you stack two Spud Webb's on top of each other it would equal one Larry Bird.

    Tough to tell from the blurry photo but it looks like there are some high numbers on that 1971 display

    My parents have one of me back in the 1980s that I will try to post. The value of the cards will pale in comparison, but the nostalgia factor is still the same.

    I've seen the dunk competitions numerous times, but it's still CRAZY to think that not only could Spud dunk it, but look how high above the rim he got! Unreal.
