One more Estate Sale post

Since I have lots of time, I was going through the estate sale boxes a second time to do a little more sorting.  If I already haven't said it enough, this was a find of a lifetime.  In one of the first 800 count boxes I checked, it was full of 89 and 90 Topps cards, I found another surprise at the back of the box.

More auto and jersey cards, about 100.  Our collector must have opened a lot of cards in their life.  He/she was also a multi-sport fan.

Jeff signed this on the back of the card.  First one i've seen.

I remember hoping for a big pull when I opened a few packs of Leaf Signature in 1996, but all I got was a lesser player in bronze.

There were 6 cards from this series in the 100 I found, there was a Gold.

There were also a few minor league autos.

And I hope a Future HOF'er.

Current HOF'ers included these 4.

A few Jersey cards.

A local Michigan grad.

Hockey cards.

Lindros signed with gold ink.

And these Football greats

I consider myself very lucky to acquire these cards.  My friend has been scouting for future estate sales and auctions.   They will have to wait until things start to return to normal.  I appreciate all my fellow bloggers who help me get through the days at home.

Inspired by another post

In the middle of my daily ritual, looking at my favorite blogs, I was inspired by Bo at Baseball Cards Come to Life to post a blog about my Pepsi and Coca Cola cards.  I love to collect at least one oddball card of each set.   I really don't try to collect a whole set of each oddball.  If you have any singles of any food, retailer, minor league card or other misc. logo on a card, please let me know and I'll be happy to trade.    Let's start with the Coke cards.

I love minor league cards, especially the older ones.

1982 plus local Boston retailer.

Last World Series title for the Tigers.  Mr. Tiger we will miss you.

Last Estate Sale

Just following up with a few more oddball finds from my estate sale.

There were about 20 non-sport unopened packs

A few plastic containers of actual beef jerky with a ton of preservatives.  

At first glance in a box I thought it can't be.   I was right.   Just a sweepstakes card.

A couple of different stickers

1984

1978

Slurpee discs.

And these hockey discs

Bobby Orr, The Grind Line and Frank Mahovolic.

Estate Sale 4

My fourth post from our estate sale almost a month ago.   I'll continue to show the variety of cards from our collector.  One of my new mini collections are cards of HOF'ers wearing their hat backwards.  Griffey was noted for this trend and I have about a dozen with his hat turned around.
My current count is 7 HOF'ers including these two.

Mini's were also included.  There were a few I had never seen.

1991 Sports Card News.

Victor???  Arod's father's name was Victor.

Speaking of error cards, here is another one.

The other Juan LeBron/Carlos Beltran card is more well known.

I do like shiny cards.

There were about 25 Pinnacle Museum or starburst cards

Lots of Pacific cards, including this prism.

Another Shiny card in a variety I had also never seen.

A Mirror Gold version.

Lot's of Artist Proof and other parallels.

One of my favorite Parallels.  1998 Minted in Cooperstown.  Which also happened to have the Clemente Inserts.

Finest.

Let's throw in a Noochie.

And for a quick preview of my next couple of posts, the other sports not named baseball.

Was this one of your favorite series of commercials???
