Baseball Cards

[ricky023]

Does anybody know anything about how to sale Baseball Cards? I have a bunch that was donated at our store and I need to get rid of them, and they are top name players. For instance Chipper Jones is one and Sammy Sosa is one. If you have any ideas please let me know. RTR!

Contact a store that buys/sells baseball cards.  I have no idea where any are but an interweb search might find you one.  Either that or maybe take pics of front and back and post them for sale on Ebay...

A few months ago I met a lady at work in Huntsville.  I mentioned that my youngest son had gotten into baseball and that he had gotten a baseball card from somewhere.  We went our separate ways and then about 6 weeks ago we ran into one another again.  She mentioned my son and his interest in baseball cards (which was really just an interest in that one card that he had).  She said that she had her son's baseball collection and that she wanted my son to have it.  I went to her office and she handed me a large sack like the shopping bags that women like to use.  It had three 3-ring binders FULL of cards.  It had several boxes FULL of cards.  She estimated that there are approximately 8000 cards in the collection.  I haven't had a chance to go through them all yet but I'm hoping that when I do there will be a Honus Wagner card in the bunch.  We plan to give the collection to my son at Christmas...

That's awesome, NALT. I was born in St Petersburg, Fl. The Yankees had their spring training there at the time. My oldest brother dated Phil Rizzuto's daughter briefly and had gotten 2 baseballs with team autographs from the '53 and '54 teams. Names included Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford and Billy Martin among many others. He lost them.

Keep in mind that the Chinese produced thousands of fake baseball cards a few years back.  They're sold at auctions in bundles of about a hundred (to unsuspecting bidders).  Those are worthless.

I don't know enough about them to recognize fakes, but look it up on the web to find out.

Thanks Chechem and 2 for your help. RTR!

They have a sense of humor at this place!


My brother thought he had a great lawsuit in Huntsville about two decades ago.  A client came into his office with a cat tooth he claimed was in his food at a local Chinese restaurant.  The press caught wind of the story, the restaurant went out of business, and it turned out that the client was lying -- defense lawyers proved that the client was missing a cat.

It was a real shame -- the restaurant had a great buffet.

I think I remember that place.  Was it on University (or Pratt) around the Parkway intersection.  Formosa?  Those were my college years, and sometimes when I'd visit friends at UAH, we'd go clear out the buffet like college boys are known to do.

BTW, did I hear you on the radio Saturday morning?  If so, I didn't catch the whole interview, but I enjoyed the last 15-20 minutes that I did hear.  The bad press in Boston had me laughing.

That's the place, or was the place...

I've been on TV a few times, invited onto Siniard's Law Call show next month (I declined), in newspapers from Huntsville to Chicago and beyond, but I don't think I've been on the radio since the mid-90s when I was involved in a divorce case involving a pig -- that was my 15 minutes of fame.

(My brother isn't DS, my brother referred to case to DS.)
