Any interest in 1970s

[Rich Klein]

Cowboys, Rangers, Mavs and Stars do not sell well here locally. If you did the February show at Craig Ranch in which BGS set up,that was a real good show and I've done well with my card mix ever since.

What I do is bring Cowboys, etc but do not display them with the lack of local interest. I also checked with my LCS and he does not do a big business in local cards either.

Maybe in other areas there is a local premium but here in DFW not really much of a local interest in cards. Heck one of the two promoters of the Craig Ranch show (the one who specializies in more modern cards) told me as of May 1 he had never sold a Yu Darvish card.

I have a little side project going collecting the Topps All-Star Rookies (you know, the ones with the Trophies on them) from the 60's and 70's. It's fun/cheap and holds my interest when the collecting funds are low. If you run across any of those, feel free to shoot me a PM. I'd probably be interested.

It is a cool project and one I would continue to the present. Reason is those newer cards are not that expensive and you can keep a tab on the more modern deisgns as well

Thanks Rich. I do keep up with the "shiny" ones too. This past years crop looks pretty promising - Harper, Trout, Darvish, Rizzo, etc. Can't help it though, but for some reason I love the late 70's era. It doesn't get much better than Bake McBride and Mark Fidrych for me (just to name a couple).

Thanks
