I'm selling my Cardinal Collection of 35,000+ cards

Good luck selling everything. If you decide to sell on here directly instead of through eBay you will probably get many more buyers from the forum.

Hope sale goes well Randy. Are you exiting the hobby completely or will you keep a door in the door ?

I have seen much of Shane's large Cardinal collection over on CU and knew you were a Cardinals guy, but had no idea about the scope of your collection or your background. Amazing collection and great background story.

Was it a tough decision to let go ? I think about unloading my stuff from time to time, mainly to avoid having family have to deal with it. I recently was asked to help a local woman liquidate a very large collection after her husband died unexpectedly.

Cool stuff Randy. Is that '71 Bazooka Dick Allen the only card with him in a Cardinal uniform? After seeing it I don't believe I've seen him in one before. I know the regular issue 1970 Topps is as a Cardinal but it is a side shot in a Phillies hat.

Hi Dan, Allen is pictured as a Cardinal in the 1970 Team Issued Postcard, the 1971 Kelloggs set (says Dodgers on back), 1970 Dayton Daily News (never got that one), and the 1970 Candy Lids which is very rare.

Hi Bud,

I just did a google search on your e-mail and got a hit on this forum. Figured I would post. In addition to my eBay messages to you, would you happen to have any Cardinals music sheets? They are pricey and rare, only about 5 music sheets were made for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Also, do you have any Cuban post cards? I am looking for the March 1940 Cuban Postcard showing the players who made the trip to Habana Cuba. See my other posts on my profile for the specifics about this postcard I would like.

Feel free to PM me on here or e-mail me back.

Cheers,
Keith

Not to double post, but I wanted to let everyone on the forum know. I bought four (4) items and I received them promptly without any issues. I would rate Randy with 5 out of 5 stars. I wish he had more items of my particular interest. Keep me posted Randy if you find anything else.

Thanks,
Keith

Stand by, Randy! I will be contacting you!

Thanks for the kind words Keith, and it was good to hear from Shane, a very serious Cardinal collector as well.

I appreciate all the Net 54 collectors that have looked at my auctions and contacted me. I have opened an Ebay store to offer many items with BIN. The link is listed in the original post.

Hi Al, Thanks for the kind words. I will definitely stay in the hobby, I haven't decided what my new focus will be. I know Shane has a great collection, I'm sure I will hear from him. The decision was very difficult, but I'm comfortable with it now. I have 2 daughters that have other interests and honestly, the collection is so large, it has gotten difficult to manage. Most of the stuff I need is extremely rare and cost prohibitive. That was also a factor.

Best regards, Randy
