Yesterday I bought a box of vintage baseball cards and other memorabilia for $500. Lots of big name stars from the 1950's and 60's and some autographed baseballs inside.

Signed Baseball...1980 Pirates: Rod Scurry Bert Blyleven Jim Rooker Don Robinson Kent Tekulve Bill Robinson John Candelaria Enrique Romo (Not Jose Canseco) Ed Ott Chuck Tanner Andy Hassler Dale Berra John Milner Willie Stargell Dave Roberts Joe Lonnett (Coach)

I think that's a "we are family ball" the reason Bert Bryleven ,Willie statgel and Chuck Tanner were only on that team that year. Again a 300 dollar ball.

The bad thing about the cards in screw downs to beware of before you by them ask if you can take them out of the screw down to check them especially real expensive ones I’ve been involved in this hobby for 60 years the reason being when they came out with them everyone bought them sometimes moisture would get in them and when the cards dried over time they would stick to the glass causing them to tare before you byan expensive card ask the dealer if he can take it out of the screw down for you want to check it it’s the same principle as if you were buying a car it may look great but why would you buy it if you couldn’t start it up take it for a test drive or check under the hood

The 57 Maz, 61 Maris, 58 All-Star Williams, and 60 Musial all look great! That 3000-hit Molitor button was pretty neat too. Never saw one of those before.
