  1. 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
  2. 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.

  4. 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?
  5. They sometimes get comics in, but after winning credits from independent bookstore day Waiting for comic gold was hard, credit was good for a year but the certificate was about to tear up even in the glove box So free to me!! Emergency $7 spent of $10. Hopefully these are collectable?
  6. 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!
  7. In short I've got the memories with family accumulating and stuff, I wouldn't think that I need the card from when I was 10 years old to remember it physically 🤣
  8. 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 😂
  9. Comics are straight forward to me, this market makes no sense whatsoever $50 for a complete sealed set, but $200 for a dead mint non Tiffany 10 Griffey jr? And $50k for a signed deadline mint? I couldn't grade a card if my life depended.on it, so there is that Idk
  10. 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
  11. Lol I could stare at 40 year old cards, what is to know is known has been known and won't change is what I mean. I could stare 40+ years watching paint dry, but choose not too Anyway haha
  12. Lol so much to say, I should be patient if there is to be a response, but all this just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever!
  13. And no mine aren't Tiffany, I wasn't even aware there was such a thing as a kid, I guess that is the difference between a $50,000 card and $200? In dead 10 mint pristine? Sigh 😞 I never put them in sleeves but might have thumbed through them from time to time idk
  14. 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
