      I think that's a "we are family ball" the reason Bert Bryleven ,Willie statgel and Chuck Tanner were only on that team that year. Again a 300 dollar ball.

      The bad thing about the cards in screw downs to beware of before you by them ask if you can take them out of the screw down to check them especially real expensive ones I’ve been involved in this hobby for 60 years the reason being when they came out with them everyone bought them sometimes moisture would get in them and when the cards dried over time they would stick to the glass causing them to tare before you byan expensive card ask the dealer if he can take it out of the screw down for you want to check it it’s the same principle as if you were buying a car it may look great but why would you buy it if you couldn’t start it up take it for a test drive or check under the hood

    Sorry to hear about your store. I hope you have luck finding another location. That was a cool box. The second-year Brooks Robinson kind of looks like the end of a burp where Brooks is just starting to get a whiff of the foul odor that he just released. The 57 Maz, 61 Maris, 58 All-Star Williams, and 60 Musial all look great! That 3000-hit Molitor button was pretty neat too. Never saw one of those before.

Heard stories of cards sticking to the acrylic or sleeve they were in. I would've taken the chance on 'em for $500.

    • @thepastisalive
      @thepastisalive  Рік тому

      Thank you! I did end up sending some to SGC awhile back for my PC and they graded fairly decent. The screwdown’s will actually flatten the cards over time if they don’t have the recessed pocket inside. Because of that, card companies will then deem then as “altered”.

I’ve been told by some collectors that once you open it, it could mess the card up or I could separate from the card itself is that true?
