These are the only pics I have scanned of cool racks/wax/etc. I'm going to scan in my other stuff as soon as I can.
Let's see yours!

At one time this reversed photo card of Juan Gone was hot stuff.

Bet Clemente is rolling over in his grave having to be next to "braodcaster" Joe Morgan. Being next to HOF Joe Morgan is cool though.
And thanks to CDsnuts for always finding a creative way to interject some humor into these boards. Many people, including myself at times, take card collecting too seriously and its always nice once in a while to take a step back and have a good chuckle--and CDsnuts seems to have a knack for supplying a laugh here and there...

This is the winner in my eyes (and pants LOL )
Thanks for all the compliments, been collecting unopened stuff since the mid 90's.
Here is my best football rack, my current white whale is a 1970 football rack pack

White Scribble Saw
not scanned- 1989 Fleer rack with FF and Biggio on top.
This cello cost me $400. When I mention the version I cant mention (not a saw cut) as it's easily faked, this is it.
Living in Seattle at the time, watching Griffey hammer the ball and make those flying leaps... and then we got Johnson... man, Seattle fans were stoked at the time, even if it took him a couple years and some quality time with Nolan Ryan to get his mechanics down.

No joke. I loved '89 Fleer when they came out. I'd have paid big bucks for that back in the day.
Here's a few others. Wish I still had them all.
Biggio/FF
Loop Scribble
Gibson insert usually on the bottom (sold)
Johnson/Sheffield (sold)
Comstock error/Gwynn,same team (sold)
the '69 Super Cello is extremely rare--only 3 known
same as the Yaz rack...only 2 exist that I am aware of. Both came form Rosen's find in the mid-'90s.
need I load more?

I bought that from you.
Good grief. If anyone can top that, I'll be floored.
Here's some modern junk!
Too bad Campbell and Payton aren't on the top. They would be winners then.
<< <i>I was going to scan some of my 80's racks but after that '69 pack, my stuff looks like commons. >>
Except that even if the vintage racks/cellos had commons on top, it would beat the 80s crap with stars on top.
this is going back a while...
<< <i>Someone on here posted a pic with a 68 rack with the ryan rookie on top...
this is going back a while... >>
That use to be mine as well but I sold it in 2003.
Let me find the picture again and I'll post it later, John
