A gorgeous binder of 1962 Topps baseball cards arrived in our mailbox this week from a collection we purchased thanks to a gentleman in Eastern Pennsylvania.  Yes - the mailbox.  Look at the cardboard gold we just bought and learn how you can sell safely without worrying about the pandemic or travel restrictions. 

Selling your card collection has been difficult as we all struggle with both safety and restrictions that come with the Covid-19 pandemic.  We're very aware of the issues and the way we just obtained a new collection is a solution to your worries!  We'll tell you an easy way to sell your items, but first - the goodies.

This blog is sponsored by JUST COLLECT where we specialize in buying vintage cards, autographs, and collections. If you have any of THESE cards, give us a shout; we'd be interested in buying.

1962 Topps Baseball

• 598 cards to the set
• 7 different series
• Short Prints in series 7
• Debut of multi-player rookie cards
• 10 special Babe Ruth cards

With the wood grain background, making the card look like a solid piece of lumber that the Babe would have carried to the plate with him makes for such a unique design for the 1962 Topps set.

There are TONS of variations in the set, too.  Look over any 1962 card you have.  Some cards have players with team logos missing from hats, and some of the cards have a green tint.  

Hall of Famers and Stars:

• #1 Roger Maris
• # 5 Sandy Koufax
• #10 Roberto Clemente 
• #25 Ernie Banks
• #200 Mickey Mantle
• #300 Wilie Mays

Just a sample of the baseball royalty in the entire set.

From a history stand point alone, this set features Maris at card #1 on his first card after breaking Babe Ruth's record for most home runs in a season. 

Our Newest Collection

We are excited to show you our newest purchase: those very 1962 Topps cards!

A collector from Eastern Pennsylvania reached to use with a binder full of beauties.  In our mailbox came:

Just like you remember setting up your collection as a kid!  You get those 9-pocket pages, a three-ring binder, and put your cards in order. This collection has some of the big names we mentioned earlier, too:

• #1 Roger Maris
• #5 Sandy Koufax
• #199 Gaylord Perry (x5)
• #200 Mickey Mantle (x2)
• #218 Joe Torre (x4)
• #300 Willie Mays (x2)
• #387 Lou Brock (x2)

Five - FIVE Gaylord Perry rookie cards!  The cards, like most vintage sets are, are very good to excellent.  When you pick up two Mickey Mantle cards, no grade is a bad grade, though :)  A mantle in mid-grade, say a PSA 5, is still worth around $400! 

You're thinking "mailbox - you skipped mailbox..."   Yep - mail!
