In about 1981 I traded a 74 McCovey Washington for a few of these.
Some numbered over 150, some reversed photos, all odd colors etc. I got maybe 20 of them. Immediately swapped half to a dealer for another McCovey Washington. ![]() I've never seen any other 76 Hostess done in yellow/green. Steve B |

Very cool Steve B.
I made a stupid deal back about 1990 - Traded 6 to 10 1955 All American Football (including Grange, Hutson, 4 Horsemen, forget the rest) for about 10 Cory Snyder and Todd Worrell 86 rookie cards (86 Donruss as I recall) There might have been an Eric Davis RC or 2 thrown in also.... But, hey, according to Beckett at the time, I ripped him off |

I was part of a trade of a Donruss Mattingly rookie ( a crazy hot card in the day) for a 1952 T Mantle..slightly trimmed and glued on the bottom of an ashtray..

Too many bad ones to remember...gotta move on...best 1974 Jack Billingham for a lower grade Pete Rose rookie.

in which modern cards started to go crazy, after vintage cards hit rock bottom, in the early 80s the main card guide was CPU and for about 3 years straight vintage cards kept going down! and the 52 T Mantle went down from $6000 high book to $800/$1500 and you could pick up the ones in poor condition cheap, in 1984/85 because of that i went through more 52 Mantles in those couple of years than the rest of my life combined, if i only knew what was in the future oh well!

I hope you got the ash tray! In all of my years searching, I've never found a 52 topps Mantle ashtray. There is something fun about cards glued to weird items.

Yes that was a wild time in the sportscard hobby... that monthly price guide CPU..and the other one CCP... we would flock to the card stores to get the latest months copy of that rag ! searching for " up arrows" .. I remember the 75T set was always on the move... and yes...the early 50s stuff just kept tumbling down ,.... Oh those Bump Wills variations.....you had to have both !..because every month the other one would " make a move" !

Any pics of the ash tray or has it since left the collection?
