Okay now be nice..... that last card has an interesting story as well. I was at the Nashville flea market on a Saturday in 1979, a collector showed me the card and said he had just bought it off someone walking around for $75!! I said man, I would have given him $100 easy!.... the guy pulled out the card and said.... SHOW ME THE MONEY! or something like that.... so I gave him $100, and took the thing home raw in no holder in my front shirt pocket!! When I sent it to Rob Lifson he was sure it had been trimmed but I dont think it ever was.... and it graded a solid 6 ( maybe should have gone higher?? ) anyhow its another one I wish I had back, Im sure weve all got stories like this and these are some of mine......

Rocky,
Thank you for sharing this with us! I was drooling over that Jackie, but the green Cobb made me fall outta' my seat! That one was a killer! Are you still collecting non-sports?
