Vintage Baseball Card Purchase: 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 7

Dave and Adam's Card World — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:42:51 +0000

Our vintage team is always looking to buy vintage baseball cards. A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a collector with an impressive collection of Vintage Graded Yankees Baseball Cards. We purchased some of the collection, including a 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle PSA 7

As you can see from the scan, the card is very eye-catching. Many collectors think of this card as one of the most desirable/famous/valuable cards ever made.

The Vintage Card Division: 2009 Wrap Up

Dave and Adam's Card World — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:03:12 +0000

It has been a great year for our vintage card division. We have had a couple really big purchases along with countless smaller ones. As word gets out that Dave & Adam’s is focusing more on older sets and singles, a lot more cards are being offered to us, but it seems we are selling cards faster than we can buy them.

Along with a couple of major set runs of baseball, we also picked up some nice sets of football and hockey from the 1950’s. Out of the thousands of singles we picked up, some of my favorites are a 1888 Scrapps Tobacco Charles Comiskey, 1928 Yuengling’s Ice Cream Lou Gehrig and of course the ultra rare 1960 Fleer Pepper Martin.

We look forward to growing our offering of vintage cards on the site in 2010 as we continue to pursue buying the largest collections we can find as well as the single card deals.

Hope everyone has a healthy and succesful 2010.

Baseball Card Pricing

Dave and Adam's Card World — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:57:47 +0000

Although we are mainly known for unopened boxes and cases of sports cards, we also have a buying team that does a lot of work with single cards. These guys mainly look to buy vintage baseball cards, but also purchase older unopened material and singles ranging from all the major sports to non-sport releases as well.

One of the most common questions we receive is about baseball card values. There are several online resources that provide pricing – including Beckett, Tuff Stuff, and CardPricer just to name a few.

We get calls everyday from people with lower end cards that at one time believed their early 90’s baseball card collecting would someday let them retire early. It is unfortunate for us to break the hard news to a lot of these people, but it is fun to talk to former collectors about the hobby.

If you are ever looking to sell your old baseball cards, we recommend checking out one of the price guides we listed above for reference. Our team of buyers can also give you a free quote and will possibly buy your collection depending on what you have.

Things we are always looking to buy include:

Pre-1980 Singles

Pre-1970 Graded Singles

Pre-1985 Complete Sets

Older Unopened Boxes and Cases

Non-Sport Cards

1935 National Chicle Football Cards Acquired

Dave and Adam's Card World — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:33:11 +0000

Reed, our Director of Purchasing, recently acquired over 60 cards from the legendary 1935 National Chicle Football set. Considered the top vintage set in football, collectors have long considered completing this 36 card set as a lifelong pursuit. The set is so tough to put together that only seven collectors have a complete set in the PSA Set Registry.

What is most impressive about this find is not so much the quantity of cards in the collection, but the spectacular condition of some of these gems. Fourteen of the cards were graded by PSA or SGC as NM-MT or better, including six graded SGC 96, all of which are considered the finest known examples of each card! While this collection did not include the highly coveted Bronko Nagurski (referred to as the Honus Wagner of football cards), it did have other HOFs such as Ken Strong, Clark Hinkle, Turk Edwards, Dutch Clark, and Knute Rockne.

While we sold quite a few of these cards at the National earlier this month, there are quite a few gems available on the Graded Vintage Football Singles page. Graded Vintage is our fastest growing category at Dave & Adam’s, and deals like the National Chicle football collection proves we will become a major player in this industry.
