Have you had your Wheaties today? I previously wrote about a 1940s Tommy Henrich Wheaties ad (https://www.postwarcards.com/circa-1940s-tommy-henrich-wheaties-advertisement/); Pee Wee Reese was a spokesman for the brand, too!

You don’t see many auction lots like this one anymore. The market has REALLY changed.

Just found another collection of 1957 Topps basketball wax packs, these were sold in December 2004, today, they’re each worth just under $100k.

Oh wow. I didn’t know he was illiterate. Perhaps I should have 🤔
Just came across this Shoeless Joe Jackson autograph in an auction catalog from 1994. PSA values them at ~$85k today.

Today on the blog!
A 1954 Topps display box and three wrappers: https://www.postwarcards.com/1954-topps-display-box-and-three-wrappers/
1954 Topps baseball boxes are extraordinarily desirable (Hello Ted Williams!); Ron Oser Enterprises sold this one in December 2000 with three wrappers.
If you’re a vintage display box collector, I’ve seen the following 1954 Topps baseball box variations:
5-cent, 6-card, dated, 24-count (Ted Williams design); the box pictured above
5-cent, 6-card, undated, 24-count (Ted Williams design)

In my place of zen, flipping through and scanning back issues of The Trader Speaks.

Just wrote a few words for a future article about this advertisement from the December 1979 issue of The Trader Speaks for "sealed gum cases at the lowest prices ever seen!"
For reference, a single 1978 Topps Baseball Wax box goes for around $4,500 these days. A case came with 16 boxes.
Oh, to own a time machine, though, honestly, I’d go back and buy some #Bitcoin

Just wrote up a few words about three 1914 Boston Garter cards, I’ll publish the entire article in a few months, but here’s a few words about the set courtesy of The Standard Catalog:
“The second of what are presumed to have been three annual issues by the George Frost Co., Boston, contains 12 cards. The colorful lithograph fronts have a player picture in front of a ballpark diagram. A large Boston-brand garter appears at the bottom. Baseball with the Boston Garter name appear in each upper corner. Black-and-white backs have a checklist for the set, career statistics for the player pictured and details of the cards’ availability. Retailers received one card per box of dozen garters and could write to the company to complete the set. About 4’’ x 8-1/4’’, they were intended to be displayed in shop windows.”

This advertisement from the back cover of the February 1977 issue of The Trader Speaks highlights the most gorgeous cards ever produced: 1976 SSPC!
More about it on the blog: https://www.postwarcards.com/an-ad-for-the-most-gorgeous-cards-ever-produced/
It’s a good point. And I agree with the reasons to focus one’s time on nostr. But to ignore a potential funnel, or a large audience, and work to engage them seems…wrong, too.
One of my most frustrating research endeavors, this advertisement is from October 1977, and I can't find any more info about these boxes.

That’s a fair point but then how did anyone come to bitcoin? Or are we then saying there’s no growth potential now?
I don’t really have a feeling either way tbh. Just a concern to raise.
