Who doesn’t love the mouse?!
Unfortunately these sheets from 1935 would cost you more than a trip for a family of four to visit the happiest place on earth.

I quickly snapped this photo while scurrying about the 2024 National Sports Collectors Convention because it looked familiar. But I couldn't place it at the time. I've now realized it was Bowman's Collectors Club.
Details about the club are scarce, but here are a few: https://www.postwarcards.com/bowmans-5-star-series-picture-card-collectors-club/

The hobby is a flat circle, this caption and photo are from 1993, but they could have been written this year!

Here's a nice mid-1920s wooden exhibit card machine with two little SIGNED cards showing a 1928 Blue Series Babe Ruth and Grey Tint Lou Gehrig exhibit. Sotheby's offered the item in their April 1994 Important Baseball Cards and Sports Memorabilia auction.

Wooops. Accidentally replied to myself: Not sure anything from the junk wax era would really qualify anymore 🤣

I ran across these circa 1970 Calvin Murphy and Fran Tarkenton “prototype” cards in Ron Oser Enterprises’ April 2000 auction catalog.
I’m unsure what to make of these items; the lot’s description explained that they appeared to be Topps prototype cards that were never issued.
The basketball card features Calvin Murphy of the San Diego Rockets, who moved to Houston before the 1971/72 season started. The writer said the style and size of the card were similar to those of the 1969/70 and 1970/71 Topps issues.
The football card features Fran Tarkenton as a New York Giants player, where he played from 1967-1971.
Both cards were still adhered to the original artist board and were described as being in perfect condition.
Let me know if you know anything about these items.

If you were curious what Larry Fritsch was collecting in early '81, it was Colgan's Chips Cards.

Yeah. How will I judge my worth otherwise?!
