Interesting Auctions of the Week
November 22nd, 2011 | Published in Interesting eBay Auctions
Happy Tuesday–and happy Thanksgiving! Here are this week’s interesting eBay auctions for vintage football cards and related collectibles.
-
Seller thetoppsvault has a bunch of beautiful 1969 Topps color transparencies available. (The listings call them “negatives,” but aren’t negatives the opposite colors of the real thing?) Most of the players on the transparencies never appeared on cards, and for me it was fun to see some new faces.
- Seller jimmacie has several 1968 American Oil “Mr. and Mrs.” cards up for auction. These are the oddest of the oddballs–see Bobby Mitchell barbecuing!
- Here’s a nice PSA 5 1954 Blue Ribbon Tea CFL card of Bud Grant. Call me crazy, but isn’t it a tad nicer than this PSA 7? The seller has many more Blue Ribbon Tea cards for sale, as well.
- I don’t collect modern cards, so I had no idea that Topps gave away real 1894 Mayo cards in their 2008 Topps Mayo packs. Here is one of them. Wow!
- Some AAFC matchbooks: Jake Leicht and Dick Barwegan of the 1949 Baltimore Colts, and a 1949 New York Yankees schedule–with an ad for Topps gum!
Enjoy your turkey!
