This Week’s Interesting eBay Auctions
September 6th, 2011 | Published in Interesting eBay Auctions
Happy Tuesday! Here are this week’s interesting eBay auctions for vintage football cards and related collectibles:
- Here’s a nice example of a John Lujack 1948 Topps Magic Photo. There are a total of 252 photos in this mishmash of a set. In addition to thirteen “All American Football” and five “Football Thrills” photos, there are photos of other athletes, wild west figures, famous landmarks, movie stars, inventors, explorers, aviators, and dogs. You can see a full checklist on the eBay site.
- This is the first time I’ve seen a full set in this form: a complete set of 1960 Fleer football cards, all in 11-card strips.
- How to deal with those pesky dinged corners? Cut them off! These “customized” 1951 Bowman cards look kind of cool, actually. They remind me of 1954 Quaker Sports Oddities cards.
- Anyone else think it’s utterly ridiculous for this 1957 Topps Lynn Chandnois card to be graded poor?
- You don’t see these too often: a near (or possibly full) set of BVG-graded 1960 7-Eleven Dallas Texans cards. The backs look like they were printed with a typewriter!
- Seller cavaliercards has a nice group of PSA-graded 1926 Shotwell Red Grange cards for sale. There are twenty-four cards in the Shotwell set; you can see examples of the rest on SGC’s web site.
- This 1967 Topps Joe Namath card actually came in a 1969 Milton Bradley Win-A-Card game. You can tell because there is a brown sliver of a 1968 Topps baseball card at the top. For a description of the game, see one of my previous blog articles.
- All I know about the cards is what it says in the auction description, but here is a 1977 set commemorating the 1925 Pottsville Maroons. (I had to look up Pottsville; it is in Pennsylvania.) There is an official Pottsville Maroons web site; it includes an account of how the team beat the Chicago Cardinals for the 1925 NFL Championship, but it was taken away because of a scheduling violation.
