The dealer posted a few pics of these on Facebook prior to the show and I spied some 1984 Donruss cards that I needed for my set. 1984 Donruss star cards can be pricey so I was looking forward to snagging some of the cards I needed for 11 cents (9 cards for $1). I wish I had been able to grab more, but somebody got there before I did and I think they got some of the other sheets with the Donruss cards. Oh well. As I mentioned I paired these with the 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan and essentially I didn't even pay anything for them.
If you see a missing spot it's because I already pulled the 1984 Donruss card. In addition to needing the 1984 Donruss card for my set, I collect Jackson so this was a no brainer. I just need to go through my Reggie Jackson binder and see if I actually need any of these other cards.
This one doesn't have a 1984 Donruss card on it, so I'm trying to figure out why I added it to the stack. Winfield is a great player though and there are some nice cards here, so I'm not complaining.
If I saw 1984 Donruss I set the page aside. Turns out I already had the Carlton 84 Donruss card.
Like I said, 1984 Donruss, set it aside. Not only did I already have the 84 Donruss card, but I grabbed two Carlton sheets. I guess I was in a hurry.
I did need the Rod Carew for my Donruss set and I get to add a few other Carew cards and apparently a couple of 1988 Topps Roger Clemens cards.
The Robin Yount page had one random Wade Boggs card, but here is a full page. This one had a 1984 Donruss card that I needed.
I grabbed this last page just because of the two American Flag cards. The page also includes 4 Gary Sheffield rookie cards and 3 second year cards.
If they're mid 80's or earlier... the star cards go into a binder. Anything afterwards... they go into a box.
ReplyDeleteThese 9 pocket pages are a great purchase. Wish I'd stumble across people selling these, I'd be all over them.
Similar to Fuji. There are favorites of mine who have a dedicated binder section, and second-tier favorites in team bags or small boxes. Any card of a HOF or near-HOF guy from 1986 or earlier also goes in a binder. After 1986, other than my "binder guys", star cards only go into a binder if it's a minor league card, a non-junk wax rookie, a parallel or SN card, or something of that nature. Otherwise they're in boxes with the plebes. (My junk wax superstars get their own box.)
