This Week’s Interesting eBay Auctions
September 27th, 2011 | Published in Interesting eBay Auctions
Happy Tuesday! Here are this week’s interesting eBay auctions.
- I haven’t seen this card before: a 1969 NFL vending card of Bobby Joe Green. According to the listing, these were sold in little plastic capsules, I presume from machines that resembled gumball machines. I haven’t been able to find more information on the cards, though, and I don’t see a copyright on the Green card. I did find a similar card of Dave Kopay in a completed auction.
- I’ve seen quite a few yellow proof cards of 1960 Fleer cards, but never a full set in uncut strips.
- No book collection is complete without a copy of O.J. Simpson’s 1983 Football Card Price Guide!
- Here is a complete set of 1960 Fleer AFL decals, tied for #1 in the PSA set registry. These were inserts in packs of 1960 Fleer football cards. I believe that 1960 was the first year that the card companies put inserts in football card packs. Topps put homely metallic stickers in their football card packs that year.
- Here’s one for the Bart Starr collector: a 1968 American Oil Bart Starr card, the only one graded PSA 8. The card was originally attached to a card of racing driver Parnelli Jones. If you collected both the left side and right side for an athlete, you won!
- Finally, a couple of foreign cards honoring American football: a 1960s French trade card and a 1979 card from the UK that supposedly pictures the Super Bowl Trophy. I checked, though, and found that the Lombardi Trophy has had its present shape since Super Bowl I.
