This Week’s Interesting eBay Auctions
January 31st, 2012 | Published in Interesting eBay Auctions
Happy Tuesday! Here are this week’s interesting eBay auctions for vintage football cards and related collectibles:
- Joe Paterno rookie cards are coming out of the woodwork. Just after he died, there was only one listed on eBay. Now there are seven.
- Here’s an unusual item: a two-card panel of 1952 Bowman Large cards, including Hall of Famer Les Richter’s rookie card. You can see what the whole sheet looked like on my 1952 Bowman Large virtual uncut sheet page.
- Not cards, but a nice item for a Browns fan: a full set of 1959 Carling Black Label Browns photos, with Jim Brown. The photos are about the size of a full sheet of paper.
- This tough 1960 Bell Brand Rams Frank Ryan card has both a facsimile signature and a real one on it. I’m not sure what to make of it, but the signature looks different from those on this array of signed Ryan cards.
- All I know about this card is what it says in the item description, but here’s a 1948 Safe-T-Card Sammy Baugh card. The Safe-T-Cards all picture Washington Redskins, and the description says they were the first police set. The seller has a bunch more of them, too.
- Finally, this one is over, but I thought it was worth pointing out: a PSA 8.5 1961 Lake to Lake Packers Tom Bettis card that sold for $1469!
Enjoy the Super Bowl!
