Don't let someone else buy this and let this one slip by collectors....

NOTE: Interested BUYERS from OUTSIDE THE USA - As of July 2023 anyone outside the US interested in buying one or multiple items please contact me first - eBay is changing their international shipping program and shipping prices outside the US are going to be ridiculous until things are sorted out - Multiple items will need to be combined and weighed properly in order to provide you the best shipping price.

Plenty of listings & auctions to be listed.  Proceeds will be heading to one of our local effective charities and help pay for my daughter's college books and other costly things....  All who bid you have my deepest thanks to help further her indoctrination um errr, education 😁

Considering the modern card show is charging at least $40 or more to enter and per item autographed at shows (over $100 for some athletes) - Premium hits like these are certified by the company and are guaranteed to be authentic. 

You can check the card/collectible shows and shops.  Risk losing a last second auction, if another one is ever available...

OR

If you really want it, I'll send it from my collection to yours for the price listed

All reasonable offers considered - Click on the 'make an offer' button and feel free to negotiate - however, other people interested can still purchase the item pending my reply... just wanted to clarify that because it's happened several times

Looking for something to enhance your collection? 

Trying to find that gift for a family member or close friend? 

I have over 15,000 listings currently on eBay.

Check back in &  Save me as a favorite seller!


I'll always be listing new Items weekly:

Antiques, Cards, books, comics, mags, music, games, older and newer releases, etc... Listing are sometimes a little less descriptive than what I usually do in order to get more posted - Please ask if you have any questions

I’ve bought and sold on eBay since 1997 – collecting and selling just about everything – if you’re looking for something let me know, I’m preparing to downsize portions of my collections and a large portion of my proceeds will be going to my daughter’s (aka: Little Nubby) college fund.  Please check out my eBay store.  Many great and interesting items will be listed…

I treat everyone fairly and my feedback shows that.  Special requests, wish lists and all inquiries will be answered to the best of my ability.  I may not an absolute expert on anything, but I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things….

Shipping Notes:

-         I try to get everything out the next available postal day after payment clears, but my ‘day job’ is very hectic and chaotic from time to time so there might be a couple days delay until I can get to the post office.  Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive.

-         If you need it quickly, just ask and I usually have no problem accommodating your wishes.

-         I combine shipping.

-         I sell and ship internationally.  Shipping rates vary due to location of where the item is being sent.  If I offer free shipping on any items it is for the United States only unless noted.

Other Legal-eze:

-         I offer a money back guarantee provided I get the item back in the condition it was sent and it’s within 30 days of receipt of said item.

-         Payment must be made thru eBay.  Unless you are local and can pick the item up (Usually for no charge).  There are other arrangements that can be made if necessary – feel free to ask.

Happy Hunting and Thank You for your time looking at my ‘trinkets’!
