A few years ago my best friend, the one who gave me his childhood collection, inherited the low number Rails portion of the set. I was helping him organize stuff that he had packed away in boxes when I came upon the cards. He didn't know what they were, but he had a strong attachment to them as he received them from the widow of one of his other friends (she also gave him her husband's circa 1950s Lionel train set) as my friend has a strong interest in trains.
Unfortunately, the man had once taped the cards into a notebook during his youth on the vertical edges of each card. At some point he removed them from the notebook and placed them into plastic sheets, but in doing so each card either has paper loss, slivers of tape, or tape residue. They still have visual appeal, but the cards are in poor condition otherwide. When I told him about the high numbers and showed him some examples online, he wants to get the rest of the rails cards; he could care less about the sails portion. He has two of the high numbers as they were already there. Since he was kind enough to give me his baseball cards, I am going to help him get the missing Rails high numbers in poor to fair condition as long as they're not too damaged. I have 528 Topps Baseball cards from 1970-1974 that are in overall vg-ex condition with a few stars that I'd like to use as trade. If what I'm offering isn't too outrageous, please send me a message. Thank you and happy collecting! Phil aka Tere1071 Last edited by Tere1071; 12-11-2023 at 07:10 AM. |
