1st sketch signature series I ever got was from him He must have been around 88 years young at the time, which I also didn't know at the time. RIP

Hmmmmm….something doesn’t seem quite right here

guess not, but I tried, and of course they were tucked away and hard to look through. I had seen someone buy a Pam Anderson one from the 80's or I wouldn't have even known they were there. idk. Maybe that person had picked the "best of them", it was a last resort.

I know this is general magazines so not "pulps nor comics", so posting here. Quoting myself from winning credits for "national independent bookstore day! Who knew there was such a thing? The credit paper certificate was being torn up even in the glove box! Got tired of waiting for worthy comics, so spelunked the store, so free to me! Emergency $7 used of $10 credit won for "national independent bookstore" day. I suppose these are collectable?

I like comics because when you buy one, it is it's own issue, as opposed to packs of cards where you might chase a certain one, but what about all the others in the pack? I never threw those away just to chase one card, but that got an accumulation quick. I didn't go to shows for it to learn the hobby as a kid to trade or trade up either A comic can come in a pack, but it's usually a 3 pack or 5 pack, you get like 12 cards in a pack which was more than half a sleeve at a time haha. I can also grade a comic, cards I just don't know, but cest la vie. I thought posting in the comics section about 1st app being like rookie cards was close enough to apropos the question or reveal I know nothing about cards But ya, I'd get fleeced if I didn't ask somewhere sometime!

I've even got fishing cards and that are signed from some event I went to with my uncle. Nascar rubber tire cards from vehicles and etc. Just sitting there as a foreign object. If I don't ask now I'll get fleeced as I don't thing they're worth the paper printed, kind of like our parents with comics 😂

Again a card is history and doesn't change nor pick up any new added detail, comparitivly to comics. I have these in the closet collecting dust and they'll return to dust if no one tells me I didn't fool myself with 80's 90's dreck? Lol It is what it is, these are the only sets I have. I got the 1989 Bowman from my parents as a kid, Christmas I think. I had a cousin who lived with us, it was all bonding that lasted into the early 90' presumably drek? I actually had nostalgia for it before comics, but didn't ever know what a PSA was, no one bothered to tell me. Given recent posts, it is the same today, but I'll give this section a shot in the arm before file 13 trash bin. It's not in the way, but binders of loose cards, and these sets are the easiest to take pics of. It is what it is, but rather than just then sitting and "not in the hand of a 'real' collector No affinity

Hopefully you have not just Ken Griffey but most of the other cards in those 1989 baseball sets. The only set I bought as a kid was in 1989, but it was Bowman, I still don't think it is worth much. It isn't sealed and I haven't counted the cards to see if they're all there. So much Kate 80's early 90's drek worth of baseball cards, and short of scrapping them to a card store, idk that I can come out ahead on anything Even modern stuff like dirk nowitzki rookie on an iconix card, it is all $10 stuff? I understand comics WAY more than sports stuff sigh
