New Diamond Stars Collector

[keating3620]

Matt,

I inherited my dad's diamond stars. He had 75 of the 96. He was 11 years old in 1934. I completed the set in raw cards last year. Not leaving well enough alone I started to build a second set of the 108 in PSA 4-5. Still need about 10-12 cards. Cool looking set. Even though my dad's cards are poor-good they are worth more to me than the PSA 5's (especially since he got the 75 cards for a total of 75 cents!).

Now that, John, is good stuff. My dad unfortunately lost all of his cards when his mom threw them out when he left for the Navy...I have a few Yankee & Red Sox programs of his that are framed on my wall including a 49 World Series scorecard...wish I had all his cards...he said he had a ton. Oh well...take good care of those!!!

Ha. My dad threw his cards out the window. Really. Out the window.

I wish I had his cards. Said he had cards from the years 1960-1969 and about 5 complete sets from each year....probably had a bunch of mint Mantles and Pete Rose RCs.....
