Purchasing. To purchase card(s), send an Email with the cards you would like. I will send you an invoice with the total including shipping and/or insurance. For cards that are FREE, just send a SASE envelope.
Trading. As far as trading, I am interested in obscure Fred Lynn, Roger Maris, Jim Piersall, Carlton Fisk, Carl Yastrzemski, Tony Conigliaro, Rocky Colavito issues I don't have. Also I like enjoy collecting vintage cards, with an emphasis on star cards. My favorite teams are the Dodgers and Red Sox. I also am working on a 1962 Post cereal set and I am also partial to 1963 cards (I was born that year). Also I collect 1935 Goudey, 1941 Double Play and 1948 Swell Sport Thrills cards. Of course Hall of Famers like Mantle, Koufax, Williams, Mays, Aaron, etc. I like a saying by an old friend and trader Max Keddy- "I never met a card I didn't like." I feel the same. Send me your (reasonable) trade offers; vintage ONLY! In other words, no newer crap.
Shipping & other details. Shipping is generally $3 for ungraded cards and $4 for graded cards. I offer shipping discounts for multiple purchases. Cards will be sent in a bubble mailer through USPS. Once I have received payment you will receive Delivery Confirmation along with a tracking number. I offer a 7-day return policy on all cards, including graded cards. I accept Bank checks, Money Orders, & Paypal. Personal checks are accepted for most cards. However for higher dollar cards I will only accept Bank Checks, Money Orders, or Paypal w/ confirmed delivery address.
Grading. I use the standard grading scales used by most reputable hobby publications.
Pricing. Prices are mainly from PSA's Sports Market Report (SMR) for graded cards and the annual Sports Collector's Digest Standard Catalog Of Baseball Cards for ungraded cards. Keep in mind that price guides are just that- GUIDES, and some cards because of demand, eye appeal, centering, etc. may be higher or lower than listed prices. I will also accept reasonable offers on some cards. JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2010 SPECIAL! Take 20% off all orders!
P.S. > Please note that there may be typographical errors and if something seems to good to be true (like a NM 1967 Topps Tom Seaver for five bucks), then it probably is... my apologies for any trauma this may cause you. Also note that I am not a dealer; the cards I sell here are used to purchase other cards for my own collection. Thanks, Tim

Unopened packs. Scarcer than individual cards (vintage) are the wrappers they came in. Most were discarded in the trash (I know that's what I did with them). Even scarcer are unopened pack of cards for obvious
reasons. Why would you buy a pack of baseball cards and not open them? But there have been numerous "finds" of unopened material, including rare 1952 Topps high numbers (which might include a #311
Mickey Mantle, the most desirable post-war baseball card) and more. Because of the emergence of professional grading services, even vintage unopened packs were opened in the hopes of obtaining high grade
cards, which sell for significant premiums. But it is a crap shoot. I remember opening packs of cards and getting a bunch of duds. Usually. To give you a small example a few years ago I had 3 unopened packs of
1979 Topps baseball cards. I guess I was hoping to get a nicely centered Ozzie Smith rookie card or a Nolan Ryan but instead I got mostly commons. The only Hall Of Famers I got were Rod Carew and Joe
Morgan. No Ozzie, No "Express." Not even my favorite player Fred Lynn. And even the Carew and Morgan cards were not "MINT." Both cards had centering issues, which are common on vintage Topps cards.
On the other hand a collector purchased a pack of 1952 Topps cards (low series) and pulled out a #1 Andy Pafko card that ended up being graded by PSA as GEM MINT 10. So you can get lucky but guys like
me would end up with players with names like Pete Hamm. Now Pete Hamm was not a terrible player, I think he was a pitcher, but in 1972 I had so many Pete Hamm cards I am still traumatized by his name
alone. When we played ball and someone made a error he was called a "Pete Hamm" because it just sucked getting another Pete Hamm card (no offense to Mr. Pete Hamm).
The above 1975 Topps Mini baseball trading cards unopened pack has the possibilities of having a rookie card of George Brett, Gary Carter, Jim Rice, or Gary Carter. Also included in packs were established
stars like Hank Aaron, Bob Gibson, Harmon Killebrew, Tom Seaver, etc. I don't remember getting any of those cards out of a pack but I DO remember getting plenty of Von Joshua cards. The 1975 Topps Mini
cards are identical to the regular '75 Topps cards except for the card size. They were a test issue and are very popular today. Vintage unopened packs from the 1970's are readily more available than 1960's and
1950's. Pre-war unopened packs are extremely rare.
Among the most popular regional sets are these Bell Brand Los Angeles Dodgers cards from 1958, 1960-62. The 1960-1962 Bell Brand cards are very similar in appearance, beautiful full color cards with
high gloss finish. The backs say "If It's Bell...It's Swell!!!" along with the Dodger home game schedule for the year. The 1958 Bell Brand Dodgers are the scarcest of the Bell Brand Dodgers cards. They have sepia
photos with a " wood frame" bordering the picture. This was the first year of the Dodgers in Los Angeles and the cards featured Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider and more. The 1960-62
Bell Brand cards included the next generation of Dodger stars like Willie Davis, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Maury Wills and other Dodger stars of the era. Bell Brand also produced a Los Angeles Rams set.
"If it's Bell...it's Swell!!!" For more on the Dodgers, both Brooklyn and LA, see our DODGERS PAGE!
1971 O-Pee-Chee #513 Nolan Ryan
|
This is my favorite Nolan Ryan baseball card. The 1971 Topps and 1971 O-Pee-Chee cards (both are card #513) have identical fronts, however the backs are different. The Topps cards have green and dark
grey backs while the O-Pee-Chee cards are yellow and white (and easier to read). The O-Pee-Chee cards also feature printing in both English and French as they were issued in Canada. Both issues are extremely
tough in high grades as the jet black borders chip easily and show the slightest bits of wear. This is Ryan's 4th year card and is the first to show him in action. The 1971 Topps set was the first regular set to show
game photography. Prior to that, Topps was content to have portraits of the players or "staged" action shots like a batter swinging a bat or a pitcher going into his windup. This would also be Ryan's last card as a
member of the New York Mets. The following year, Topps issued a card of Ryan wearing a Angels cap, but it was simply airbrushed over his Mets cap. He is also wearing Mets pinstripes (the Angels never wore
pinstripes until Disney's dreadful uniforms in the 1990's). That card is 1972 Topps #595. But this 1971 Nolan Ryan card showing Ryan about to deliver a fast one and the "Royal Crown" advertising in the
background is my personal favorite. Expect to pay about $75 for a NM (ungraded) example, and between $85-$120 for a professionally graded NM example. At one time, at the height of Ryan (& baseball card)
mania, this was a $225 card in NM condition.





1968 Topps #497 Cardinals Team card
Beginning in 1956, Topps began producing "Team" cards which featured team photographs. These cards are a great way to pick up your favorite teams and players for much less than buying single cards of
individual players. Vintage team cards feature many Hall of Famers and fan favorites. For example, this 1968 Topps #497 Cardinals Team card features several Hall of Famers: Lou Brock (last row, 2nd
from right), Steve Carlton (middle row, 6th from left), Orlando Cepeda (front row, 2nd from left), Bob Gibson (middle row, extreme left) and Manager Red Schoendienst (first row, 5th from left). Also
included from this Pennant Winning team is fan favorites like Curt Flood (front row, left), Roger Maris (front row, right), and Tim McCarver. Also fun cards to collect are team cards from World
Championship Teams like the 1961 Topps #228 New York Yankees team card (Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris), 1963 Topps #337 Dodgers Team (Manager Walt Alston, Tommy
Davis, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Maury Wills, etc.), 1970 Topps #1 World Champions (Mets team card from the previous season; featured Manager Gil Hodges, Coach Yogi Berra, Jerry Koosman, Nolan
Ryan, Tom Seaver), and many others. Some team cards show former players who did not appear on a regular Topps card that particular year. For instance Ted Williams' last regular Topps card (as Manager) is
1972 Topps #510, but if you pick up a 1973 Topps #7 Texas Rangers team card, sitting prominently in the center is Manager Ted Williams, the last appearance of Teddy Ballgame as an active manager. Can't
afford a 1973 Topps #50 Roberto Clemente (last regular card; $40 in NM condition)? Try the 1973 Topps #26 Pirates Team card ($2 in NM) which features not only Clemente, but Hall of Fame slugger Willie
"Pops" Stargell as well! While most team cards are inexpensive, some cards can be on the "pricey" side. For instance any of the 1950's Topps team cards that feature the Dodgers and Yankees are going to be a
bit expensive. Also some team cards were included in the high series or short printed and thus these can be somewhat expensive. A good example would be the 1966 Topps #583 Tigers Team (SP & High
number; $125 in NM) or 1967 Topps #604 Red Sox Team (The "Impossible Dream" club; $150 in NM).
1963 Fleer Baseball Checklist SP card (unnumbered)
Checklists are somewhat overlooked. They were meant to be checked off as you worked on your set of cards. Because of this, plus the fact that checklists were handled frequently, finding vintage checklists in high
grades can be challenging. The above 1963 Fleer Baseball Checklist card (unnumbered) is a scarce short print. This is one of the few examples of a checklist card being valued at more than any other card
in the set (there were only 66 numbered player cards in the '63 Fleer set). According to the 2009 Sports Collector's Digest Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, this checklist lists for $300 in ungraded NM
condition! Compare that to the highest valued card in the set, card number 42 Sandy Koufax, which lists for $100 in NM.
The 1963 Fleer baseball set was stopped short after the first series. A lawsuit by Topps Chewing Gum put an end to Fleer's plans for a larger set. However this small set is much easier to complete than the
Topps set (Topps 1963 set has 576 cards) and thus more affordable. The set features 10 Hall of Fame players: Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Warren Spahn,
Roberto Clemente, Bill Mazeroski, Bob Gibson and Orlando Cepeda. Also featured are some players who should be in the HOF: Ron Santo, Maury Wills, and Ken Boyer. Jim Piersall (card 29) should be in the
Hall of Fame for just being... Jimmy Piersall!!! (See our Jimmy Piersall Page for more on this colorful character). There are two short printed cards, Joe Adcock (#46) and the unnumbered checklist card. The only
major bummer is the lack of a Mickey Mantle card or maybe a Pete Rose rookie card, but regardless this is a very undervalued set. Like the Topps cards, the Fleer cards also suffered with some quality control
issues, namely centering. Also the Fleer packs contained a cookie which sometimes left stains on some of the cards (Topps had similar issues with it's gum and wax packs). High graded examples by reputable
grading services sell for a premium.
