Post War Cards

Happy Pine Tar Incident Game Day to all who celebrate.

One of just four PSA 9 1948 Bowman George Mikan rookies is hitting the block at @Heritage_Sport. I tracked down all five PSA 9s and 10s—scans, sales, and more: postwarcards.com/heritage-aucti…

A bit of hockey from the 2019 @nsccshow

The 'New' Trader Speaks - October 1983. Volume 1 Number 1 & Volume 16 Number 10. In a new large format.

The 1948 Leaf Bob Feller doesn’t have a single PSA 9 or 10. Just six 8s. A 9 would rock the hobby and easily hit 6 figures. New post: postwarcards.com/another-hobby-…

Some tallboys from last summer’s @nsccshow

Before BBCE, there was Mark Murphy. His 1996 unopened guide shared sharp tips on spotting fake wax packs — based on checking over a million himself. His intro to pack verification here: postwarcards.com/how-to-check-w…

Hard to imagine any auction house today selling all 24 of these football packs in one lot—but that’s where the unopened hobby niche was in the early 2000s.

Here's the Great Hobby Writing that was highlighted yesterday in Newsletter 44. ➡️ postwarcards.substack.com/p/the-post-war…

A couple of Ohtani cards at the 2019 @NSCCShow

A collector found a rare 1965 Topps Baseball box topper promoting “press-ons” in an empty box at The National a few years ago. More about this fascinating relic on the blog: postwarcards.com/a-rare-1965-to…

There is a part of all of us that has died today. RIP Hulk Hogan 😢

Thinking of setting up a game of Mickey Mantle’s Backyard Baseball at the @nsccshow next week. Who’s in?

A bit of @NSCCShow history from 2019 via @dacardworld—a PSA 7 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie. Would’ve been a good buy then. A little (ok, a lot) pricier today.

A 1957 Topps Salesman Sample strip with a Don Drysdale back, numbered 37, was just listed on eBay for $12,995. Details here 👉 postwarcards.com/a-1957-topps-s…

Today would have been Pee Wee Reese's 106th birthday. Here's what his 1959 @Topps career-capper card might have looked like if it existed. #notareallcard #photoshop @SABRbbcards #peeweereese @Dodgers

Here's a 1919 Zeenut of Fatty Arbuckle. He was a comedian, Vernon Tigers team president, and later the center of Hollywood’s first major scandal. More on this wild story soon. 🎭⚾
