Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Hello. 

Given my extra good luck on eBay lately in the form of a seller making some great deals for me, and my extra bad luck on eBay lately in the form a lot actually not drawing any bids, I have decided to give away 22 Topps baseball cards from the 60s to someone who convinces me they should get them, preferably someone who has very few vintage cards or for whom these cards will help complete a set. Shipping's on me. The cards average VG+, many better, a few worse. Semi-stars. It'd be free, so you should barely care, but here's a list: 

1964: 486 (writing on back)

1966: 17, 23, 68 (Ex, but number circled on back), 77 (wrinkle), 78, 96 (Felipe Alou; two crunched corners), 129, 162 (Lee Maye, scratch across front), 189 (Ex), 261 (Ex), 286 (wrinkle), 314, 340, 369, 394

1967: 330 (p, heavily creased)

1968: 488 (wrinkle), 493 (2), 495, 517

Ok, I don't want begging necessarily, but a convincing reason why you should be the recipient would be nice. 
(Edit: really, I'm looking to mail them all to one person, ideally) 

Go!

I would appreciate it if I was chosen. I have more recently been going after vintage cards, as I have started with 72 Topps, but obviously move on to something else after. Condition is not too big of a deal with me, as long as there isn't a chunk of a card missing. Thanks for the consideration!

1966 Topps #78 Frank Linzy. As a Giants collector on the East Coast of Canada I have very little access to Topps cards. Hockey yes. Baseball not so much. Assuming you will mail to Canada, the card could go as a PWE. If you cannot mail to Canada, I can understand. Thanks.

I can use the 64- I just started building the set at the end of Februrary

thanks, mark

I started collecting in 78 at 8 years of age. Topps was the only thing available so I have always been a Topps guy as a main focus on Set collecting. I have kept up with the new Sets as I love to open Cards but dedicated this year to completing 70s Sets. I had Complete Sets back to 78 when I joined going on 4 years ago. This site has inspired me to purchase Starter Sets from individuals to Antique Stores, and trade to complete, and I now have Complete Sets back to 1974. I too have 619 Cards towards the 72 Set but completing will be a long process. Someone who is trying to complete the Sets with the Cards you have would be much more deserving of them than myself. If I had them they would go into my Pre 1972 Vintage Album or a Top Loader in my Vintage Box. They would be passed on to my nephew as I have no children. He would hang on to them until he passes them down to his daughter or maybe he has a son or his sister has a son that might enjoy them more. I love to put old Cards, no matter how beat up, into my Collection to preserve and make sure they have a home to be appreciated. Thanks...Hal

The Boys and Myself would be honored to win if we are chosen, Being from Canada there wasn't anywhere in our town to pick up any baseball growing up. You could always find hockey but not baseball. We are set collectors  so these would be a great start foe us to collect some more vintage sets than what we have at this moment. 

Plus the boys and I have a Deal that they are not allowed to sell any of the cards unless they absolutely need to. They are to be handed down to their kids so they can share in the love of the hobby same as the boys and I did. Thanks for the chance. Jeff

Thank u for offering them out! Do NOT send them to me as I will just use them as trade bait. ;)

If you're willing to send cards to more than one member, I would gladly adopt the '66 Felipe Alou. It is a favorite of mine, great player, one of the best coach the Expos had and a gentleman. It would be a keeper for me, unless I try to get it signed by him.

Sorry for the delay! Got distracted by a flood in my basement, the cost of which makes me want to sell these cards instrad (every little bit helps). But no! 
my winner is Hal, who somehow conveyed a love of cards that makes me want to send these to him. I confess that the Canadian shipping also scared me slightly. 
Thanks for playing. PMing Hal now. 
Happy collecting!
