1973 Topps Football Cards in a 1972 Box and 1972 Wrappers
Here is a really cool item we just picked up. It is 1973 Topps Football cards in a 1972 box with 1972 wrappers. This is something Topps would do from time to time when they had leftover supplies from previous years. In the past we have had 1981 Football in 1979 packaging and 1983 Football [...]

Some of the highlights are a Johnny Unitas rookie, a Jim Brown rookie, [...]

One Hank Aaron Rookie Card For Every Position!
We buy graded Aaron rookies from time to time, but when I received a call from a seller for 9 Hank Aaron Rookie Cards, I have to admit, I was skeptical. I was able to make the purchase and now we have a whole team of “Hammering Hanks”! The Hank Aaron Rookie Cards are now available [...]
Oops!
When I talk about the card collecting hobby I like to share some of the mistakes I’ve made because they tend to be more interesting stories. Let me tell you about one of the bigger ones. Years ago I would frequently visit a card shop in Niagara Falls to “get my fix” of cards. I [...]
