1993 fleer basketball card of some Orlando player I can't recall - because it shows Jordan with the number 12 jersey he ahd to wear after someone stole his #23 before the game...
1984 Topps Keith Moreland
1982 Topps Mike Easler

The card with Jordan was a 1990-91 Hoops card of Sam Vincent. It was pulled from production and replaced with an alternate photo of Vincent, because they didn't want Jordan to be pictured in the 12 jersey. A pretty decent amount of them did make it out though.

1981 Topps Mickey Hatcher...had a complete set and the only card my dog at the time ate was the Hatcher...Took me about three months to pull another at my little league games. Since then, I have managed to acquire a small hoard of those (about 300)...of course if we are going by hoards of cards, I have nearly 1500 1981 Bob Boone cards...great pic, great catcher, great team.

1983 Fleer Ron Kittle. I was a diehard White Sox fan and it "soared" to about $5 that summer. I actually bought it (as a 13-year-old) at a card show one weekend instead of a few extra tobacco cards that could have been had for a buck or two apiece.

Since then I've never purchased a card based on what it might be worth later. I just buy what I like.

1959 Steve Korcheck
2006 Preston Wilson Fleer Ultra game used jersey piece

I keep good care of my cards even if they're low grade. The Korcheck is simply awful. It's all creased up, a corner is missing, etc. For some reason I just like it- maybe because I can forget about its value and actually enjoy it.

I used to just collect shiny new crap, before I knew there was anything prewar except T206. The 50's and 60's didn't really appeal to me and neither did these boring old T206's. The Wilson was the first 'jersey card' I 'pulled.' I was really happy, even though it's probably worth $1.

The blue chip is quite nice. Does anyone know approximately how many of these from that estate sale made it out into the public?

Thank you, David!

I have no idea how many of the Blue Chips there are. I've done a little research and all I know - they were never supposed to be released and apparently, like you said, were sold from an estate sale.

I'm a pretty big McReynolds collector and I saw the card on Ebay 2-3 years ago. I've never seen one before so I bid! I found it a bit odd that the opening bid was $10, but that was the first time I had ever saw one, so I didn't mind. As it turned out, I was the only one that bid on the card. That was fine with me!
