Topps 205 Buy Back

[Al C.risafulli]

I have a Lena Blackburne. There was a time I was collecting Blackburne cards as I'm fascinated by his contribution to the game, which has lasted forever, and so I picked one up.

It's really a pretty cool card, and while I agree with Frank's assessment of the term "buyback," I also think it's an outstanding way to get younger collectors interested in vintage cards - so I'll give them a pass for poor grammar.

I have bought several of these over the years and the prices can be all over the board. All of them I cut out quite easily.

The condition can be spotty, but there are some gems out there.

I bought a Ed Karger in one of those holders for $30. Not a bad deal.

I have also heard of examples of trimmed cards being found, though I have never come across one.

From what I understand, Topps bought the majority of these cards from Kit Young. I loved the series, and it's being re-introduced this year. The prospect of pulling a tobacco card from a modern pack is quite enticing.

I love my Lena Blackburne's Rubbing Mud T-shirt. Got it here:

In the months following Magic Johnson's announcement in November 1991, if I had collected a dollar every time I read in a newspaper or heard on a TV newscast "HIV virus," I'd have a 1933 Goudey Lajoie right now.
