A 1952 Bowman uncut sheet including Willie Mays from Mastro's November 2001 Premier Auction. Art.
To whoever bought the lot of 342 baseball photos from the Exhibit Supply Company Archives in April 2003, if you could start selling some, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Can't afford a Mikan RC? Maybe you can snag a Mikan rookie year program instead from the 1946-1947 season. This one was offered for sale in March 2000, but I don't know what it closed for. Mears sold a rougher-conditioned one for $159 in December 2000. Maybe $400ish today?
This might apply to crypto as well.
This 1959 Topps Football Jerry Kramer Signed RC is available in Lelands Fall Pop-Up auction. Perhaps 5 inscriptions are a few too many?

One of the most underrated football display boxes out there!
Haha. Compared to 26 it does! I’ve been fighting a lower abductor injury. Congrats again on doing what most won’t/can’t!
Congrats! I have one in 4 weeks, so I ran 20 this morning
Not mine, but we all need goals.

Everyone should take more shots
What plan ever survives first contact…
In April 2004, Mastro offered these three 1962 Topps Mars Attacks Panels for sale in their Americana Premier Catalog Auction. Eight years later, REA would resell them for $5,629.
I've never seen a BBCE-wrapped 1974 Topps Baseball Vending Box, but in August 2004, Mastro sold a half case of 12 encapsulated by GAI (only six pictured)
This "Professional Basketball" Arcade Game from the '30s/'40s looks fun; 5 shots for a penny!
The original glass front was replaced, which I think originally had some graphics.
There are two kinds of hobby articles I’ll always share: ones about 1952 Topps and ones about card backs. This one’s from the Summer ’91 Topps Magazine—a fun look at 40 years of stats, bios, quizzes, and cartoons on “The Flip Side,” written by Jeff Kiss.
A couple of months ago, I shared an ad for the 1976-77 HRT/RES 1947 Bowman baseball card set; Ted Taylor and Bob Schmierer rode that momentum and released a 1942 Play Ball set shortly thereafter.
When REA partnered with eBay for an auction in July 2000, this incredible Hillerich & Bradsby advertising display featuring Cobb, Ruth, Collins, Lajoie, Sisler, Gehrig, Wagner, and Speaker was included!
I've been researching salesman samples for a long-form piece for quite a while, so I was thrilled to find this 1955 Bowman example featuring Willie Mays in Mastro's November 1999 catalog. It sold for $1,093.
