Very festive day on the Orland Park Card Present with fantastic Easter decor and a go to from the Easter Bunny. I wished to get a photograph with the Easter Bunny however couldn’t get away from my tables.
Wonderful present as soon as once more. Good crowd.
The man subsequent to me has been promoting his private assortment on the final a number of reveals. He has baseball and soccer playing cards from 1969 by way of 1972 in two binders. Good man despite the fact that he’s a Steelers fan. He advised me he was initially a Bears fan however grew to become disillusioned after years of futility. Cannot blame him.
I’m fairly certain he was promoting his childhood assortment. I do not assume he checked out his playing cards till he determined to promote them. He positioned them within the binders by workforce. He doesn’t appear to know that the majority people accumulate classic playing cards by yr, not workforce — although some do accumulate by workforce. He additionally had no concept of the worth of his playing cards. He priced every part at a $1 a card whether or not it was a star or a standard. Superior collectors/sellers got here by way of and cleaned him out of all of his stars which have been priced manner too low-cost. I watched him promote a number of $20 playing cards for only a $1 every. He provided me the binders for 50-cents a card. I truly promote most of these playing cards for 25 cents a card, so I would wish a significantly better deal. Although, I feel he’s having enjoyable and does probably not want the cash as he advised me tales of {golfing} in Mexico.
I introduced out all of my binders and two show instances of graded playing cards this month. Eddie got here by and bought a pile of the graded playing cards. Thanks Eddie! I bought a number of different playing cards to random collectors together with my 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 5.
Fairly a couple of guys attacked the binders, as normal. Will pulled all of my 1977-78 Topps hockey. Thanks Will! I’ve one common buyer who accomplished his 1972 Topps baseball set with me a yr or so in the past. Right now, he introduced his teenage son who began on his personal ’72 set. Good people. See image above. Truly there are a ton of good people in Orland who I’ve identified for years.
Will and I have been speaking concerning the present sellers that have been there once I first began establishing at this present 25 years in the past. We predict there are a superb eight or 9 guys left from that point interval. So many guys have simply disappeared or gone onto that nice card present within the sky that we actually miss like Huge John who used to have the very first desk while you stroll in. There was our wonderful pal Chuck, who would often arrange and promote 1974 Topps baseball and Publish Cereal baseball. To today, Chuck was some of the educated card collectors I’ve ever identified. Miss these guys terribly.
Again at right this moment’s present, I bought a pleasant group of 1971 Topps soccer from Jeff. Thanks Jeff! Jim bought me some 1967 Topps baseball stars. Thanks Jim. I pulled my normal stack of stuff from Walt. Good haul, as soon as once more.
