When I began collecting cards were only 25 cents a pack and only Topps, Philadelphia and occasionally, Fleer, were the only companies available in my little coal-mining community of 10,000. Think back in the day I tried to collect Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose, Willie Mays to those rare commons like Choo Choo Coleman, team rookie cards, and checklists.
I had 'em all, good grief, probably 4 or 5 complete sets from '63 to '66. Luckily I saved them and to see what they're worth now as compared to what they cost it was better than I could've dreamed at that time.
So it was fun to complete those sets. Never thought at the time of collecting for re-sale, but now they're considered works of art once they get graded.
I'm going to cash in one of these days but not just yet.
Not sure what these advertisers in Beckett magazine would be best to sell to or would it be better to use one of those auction houses.
