I really just collect vintage baseball, but I figured I'd post this over here to see if there was any interest. I'm looking for hits off of my baseball need list (below) or starter sets of 1972-73 OPC hockey.
From about 1978 to 1983 I used to write to players in a non-stop quest for autographs and have a few autographed HOF cards to trade. I also have a small variety of non-HOF players to trade as well: Bob Nystrom, Barry Beck, Reggie Leach, Wayne Stephenson and a few other Islanders, Rangers, Flyers & Rockies.
Let me make this clear. All of these cards were obtained through the mail (TTM). I don't have a single COA or anything of that nature, so I can't truly claim they're authentic. Of course, I got these at a time when autographs weren't such a cash crop business, so there was never a reason for me to doubt their validity.
To see all the scans of my HOFer collection (almost all are baseball), see this section of my bucket: http://s1226.photobucket.com/albums/...aphed%20Cards/
If you're interested in anything, LMK what you have off of my need list and let's talk. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
