Yanks Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Flair didn’t come out until 1994 or so. They were the thickest cards ever made up to that point. BAUS You sure? I got a Flair Mattingly rookie from 84. Worth more than the rest of he Mattingly rookies Actually you’re right. The fleer rookie was worth the most. The OPICI which was the same as TOPPS was hard to get and worth about $5 more. Took me awhile to acquire that one. If I’mNot mistaken there was another topps version worth more actually that took me years to get. TOPPS nestle maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAUS Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 You are getting Flair confused with FLEER. I think.Correct. O-Pee-Chee was the same as Topps but was released only in Canada and was in English and French. The production runs were a lot lower than Topps, which is why it is generally worth more.

FISHHEAD Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Anyone used to collect the Beckett Magazines? The first few out of each sport used to be worth something. Was an AVID reader of SPORTS COLLECTORS DIGEST(SCD) in the 80's The weekly BIBLE of the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Topps Tiffany is still a well-liked and collected Mattingly , if it grades out at that 9.5/10 level The donruss too but with those cards from 80s its mostly tied now to how they grade value wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Aristatel Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Anyone remember those mini cards? Topps put them out in 87. Or at least when I first noticed them. Were not worth jack shit at the time so I probably don't have many in the lot I kept. Just probably some Mark McGwire's. I pretty much have 20 of every card of his until 91 or so.

Sol Aristatel Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Reggie Jackson ended his career with the A's. Dad brought me and my brother to a spring training game to see him when McGwire was a rookie. Reggie didn't play. But he came out in the tunnel and signed. I have his autograph on the ticket envelope that the tickets came in. Phoenix Firebirds envelope. Phoenix Municipal Stadium. A's spring training home back then. Home of the Giants AAA team as well. Now home of the ASU SUN DEVILS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me he had about 500 rookie cards of himself........ My Dad loved Reggie. He was there at ASU about the time my Dad left ASU to go to Vietnam. (later returned to finish after his 4 years) Thus a Yankee fan as a kid in the early 80's. Then the Angels. Finished with the A's. Was an A's fan until we got our team... McGwire still my favorite player of all-time. Regardless of ROIDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAUS Believe he was the manager for the Phoenix Firebirds in the late 80's. Name just popped up in my head when thinking about the subject. Later was a 3rd base coach in MLB for a few teams. Think the Giants. Which would make sense since the Firebirds were the AAA team for the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
