Flipping vintage baseball cards

[robedits]

I've been playing APBA for almost 40 years (currently replaying the 1964season...cards,dice,and newer master game,using the new 64 RR replay set)...in almost 2 years I've completed all the games for all teams through the month of May '64,using the real sked...about 460 games out of the scheduled 1,620 for 1964). Using Excel to compile stats after each game. TIme consuming as hell,but worth it and enjoyable.

I never had any idea that the old APBA sets were worth anything, until AFTER I sold all my old sets (one late 60s set, all my 70s sets and some early ATG sets...most in great condition,with original playing boards/boxes,etc) at a garage sale for about $25 bucks (back in late 90s). We're talking a couple of dozen original sets/boxes,at least. Along with orig boards,booklets,roster sheets,etc.
Then I suddenly saw spates of them online being sold for good $$. My loss!

Still love rolling a game,though,after all these years:as my wife says,it keeps me off the streets!

You probably already know this,but the "Spawn" author/McGwire/Sosa ball collector (Todd MCFarland) has what is most likely the largest collection of original APBA sets (across all sports) in existence.
I wish APBA would get more press than StratOMatic,but it's like the Mets to the Yankees, or Showtime to HBO...they'll always be second in the same market.
