At least it has free shipping. That's a good deal when you consider the poor mileage an armored truck gets.

LAST EDITED ON May-23-18 AT 06:32AM (MST)[p]Oh, how I wish I still had mine. When I was growing up in New Jersey during the 1950s, I had two big dresser drawers filled with them. They included several complete sets of the 1950 era Yankees, Dodgers and Giants. Among them were the original Mickey Mantle and Willy Mays cards, plus a couple later versions of Jackie Robinson. Also had several Hank Aaron and Roger Maris versions.
In grade school, our usual recess/lunch time playground activity included flipping cards -- usually the ones we had plenty of duplicates. For those that don't know what that was, one guy would hold a card by the edges and flip it like you would a coin. The second guy would do the same, trying to match the face or stats up side of the first. A match went to the second guy. No match meant the first flipper got the cards.
Anyway, long story short: If I hadn't discarded all of them when I got married in 1961, I would be a millionaire today.
Oh, and I also owned a 1956 T-Bird with a 312 CI engine a 3-speed manual transmission. The latter was a rarity for that car.

Which reminded me that I also had the first issue of PB with MM on the cover!
Right now the only one I have worth anything has Shannon Tweed on the cover. I threw out all the others many years ago.

+1....As a little kid in the mid sixties, I bought a apple box size container that was stuffed with baseball cards at a garage sale near my house, paid $2.50 for it. That box had at least 2 dozen Mickey Mantle cards, Harmen Killebrew, right on down the line. Oh how I wish my mother didn't throw them out as I got older.
Also, when I was 16, at another garage sale up the street, I bought a 1956 Willy's Jeep, complete with a power take-off winch; paid $500 for it. It belonged to the late actor, Robert Taylor. It was his ranch vehicle. I wish I still had that too!

I collected from 86-91. I plan on them being part of my retirement but I don't think I will get much. Those were popular years and just about everybody bought cards back then so there are millions of them out there. I did well with collecting other cards like Star Wars and Garbage Pail Kids and have a few rookie cards that were valuable. I can't see them ever becoming popular again. Hopefully I get a couple thousand out of the collection before I die.

LAST EDITED ON May-23-18 AT 03:52PM (MST)[p]Some other collectibles I once owned were five Elvis 33 1/3 record albums from the 1950s, including his first titled "Elvis." I sold them all on ebay in 2003 to help finance my hunting trip to Africa. I can't remember the exact total money, but I recall it was more than $2500.
Another item I once owned was a home run baseball that Hall of Famer Willy McCovey hit when he played for the Phoenix Giants, the farm club of the Giants in the 1950s. A buddy and I were in Phx on vacation in 1959 and went to a game at the old stadium in south Phx. We left the game early to avoid the crowd. As we were walking to my car, the ball came sailing over the left field wall into the lot where I quickly retrieved it. It wasn't autographed, so I doubt it would be worth more than the sentimental aspects of having it. Instead, we used it to play ball. :-(
I currently own a baseball signed by Hall of Famer Wade Boggs. He autographed it when I hunted with him in Alabama. Unfortunately, it's not an official MLB ball, and it was also signed by a retired MLB pitcher and a pro golfer. So again, probably not worth much.
Speaking of Jeeps, this is the one I owned in the 1960s. It was a 1946. I completely rebuilt the little four-banger, repainted it and used it for about 10 years. Sold it when I lived outside of Durango, CO in the mid-1970s.
The first one, taken on a javelina hunt, is "while under repair" and the color of it when I bought it. Second is the orange I used on it. If I recall that's a whole bunch of mud on it due to the muddy East Side Game Trail on N. Kaibab.
