Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Parker Opens Cards with Leighton Sheldon

The Cobra Talks Career, Book, and Cards with Just Collect

December 11, 2024

The Cobra, Dave Parker, joins Leighton to rip a pack of 1975 Topps Mini cards! Watch the video to see which cards we pull, and hear about Dave's career.

This week, Dave Parker was enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame. We loved watching The Cobra play ball when we were younger! From 1973 to 1991, Parker made seven All-Star teams, won two World Series championships, three Gold Glove awards, and was named NL MVP in 1978. What an honor it was to have Dave Parker join our owner, Leighton, on an episode of his podcast, Leighton's Loft, back in April of 2021.

Watch below to hear Parker talk about:

The longest home run in baseball history - that travelled to a different State!
His memorabilia including game-used jerseys and MVP award
Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell
His new book
OPENING A PACK OF 1975 TOPPS MINI!

Thank you, Cobra! What a special treat and honor to have you join the show. Congratulations on your enshrinement into the Hall of Fame; can't wait to see you in Cooperstown.

Can you believe Leighton pulled a pack-fresh Nolan Ryan?! To see more about our sister company Leighton also owns, and the card breaks offered, visit .

Leighton was a little excited when he learned Parker kept his World Series jerseys! Leighton is always buying vintage cards and memorabilia! We travel to purchase collections such as an amazing collection of 1909-1911 T206 Tobacco cards with Ty Cobb and Cy Young that you can see HERE. Original Type 1 photos of Michael Jordan in the 1992 Olympics were a special purchase for Leighton that you can read about HERE. A baseball signed by both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig once owned by their Yankees teammate is a piece of history that we purchased, and you can take in the stunning read HERE. If you're interested in selling a collection, we'd love to hear from you! Read below to see how we can offer you a FREE appraisal.

Travel to Us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.

Come to convention

We keep a LIST of card shows we'll be attending. Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.

Meet in-person

If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
