[Coach Rab]

It's not worth that much but 50 yrs from now it may be worth more than that

[DaveTV1]

I noticed in the signed cards that it had Daisy Ridley. I wonder why she was the only Star Wars actress that was included.

[Stoney]

That checklist of autographs is ridiculous. From Superman to the Father of our Country.

...or just get me a Minor League team

We might come out ahead on that deal.

I got part of my Christmas today when my wife gave me a Joe Montana rookie card. Now all I need is Dan Marino.

You doing a HOF QB rookie set?

[cheaptrick77]

Joe Montana rookie card.

'still have the one I pulled from a pack in '81 😎

[Stoney]

I've got Elway, Montana and Young with Marino on the wish list. FYI, if you go to the Greggton antique mall in Longview they have a section with some good cards in it. Just don't get the Whitey Ford cause I'm targeting it.

I didn't know of anybody around here that did that anymore. Alan's was the last one I knew of in Longview. Gilmer had Benchwarmers back in the 90s. Hadden's Sandwich Shop was the better place to go. You could flip through binders and he'd charge you Beckett prices. $1 could get you a lot of cards back then.

The gum is always old and crunch but hey

[Mr. P]

Retrobyte in Henderson is starting to do cards now. Henderson Daily News sports editor Hughes Ellis is moonlighting over there. It's just a small start but I know it'll grow with some support. If you're in the area, drop in and help the guys out.
