Tenacious D Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I collect autograph cards, much to my wife’s chagrin. Here are a few: Edited January 6, 2022 by Tenacious D 3 Quote
Biff Mayhem Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 I have two George Brett rookie cards....mini and full size. The mini one was generously gifted to me by a person on this site 20 years ago who went by the name "Buck". I have hundreds of GB cards but those two are my favorite along with the Bird rookie card. 1 Quote
Dan Gilmore Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Do any of the cards have pine tar on them? Asking for my friend, Billy. 1 Quote

I remember kids would collect cards all year, ex series 1-5 or 6 as they came out respectively, then the last series came out always much later, ex August/Sept and NOT dispersed nearly as much and so many kids/collectors would get upset. Then you had to find these lesser printed cards to complete a set somehow (maybe go to a card show) only to pay $1 even for a common player because of the scarcity! Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 There is a great facebook group "Detroit Tigers Collectors Cards and memorabilia". People buy sell and trade, alot of cool stuff and fans. Quote
Tenacious D Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 A few more Tiger autographed cards… 1 Quote
Jim Cowan Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 I had an aunt who would have happily killed someone to get that Rocky Colavito card. He was the major heartthrob of the 1950s for female fans. Quote

Expand The reason there were less of the last series or two is because no one hardly bought them. By that time of the year, it had turned to football season and all the kids were buying football cards instead of baseball cards. 1 Quote
