Got these 2 beauties in the mail yesterday: Russ Nixon, former catcher for the Indians, Red Sox, and Twins (1957-1967,) and longtime coach and manager for the Reds, Braves, and Astros organizations (1970-2007); and Zeke Bratkowski, 2-time All-American quarterback for the University of Georgia (1952, 1953,) and part of the great Packer dynasty of 1960s filling in for Bart Starr at times and keeping the team on a winning track.
That's awesome ! You hit the jackpot Jeffery. I LOVE the Smoltz card !!
The John Smoltz may look a little strange, as his autograph has changed slightly over the years. This is an early full signature from John. I didn't have one of these, and always have wanted one. And to have it now on his key rookie card, just icing on the cake.
Had a simply magical day at the Marietta, GA, Museum of History annual Dixie Highway 90-Mile Yard Sale. Every year since 2006, from Marietta, GA, to Ringgold, GA, all along US Highway 41 and it's side roads and streets, yard sales litter the landscape for....well, 90 miles. :) There are wonderful treasures to be had. This year I was able to snag a 1995 World Series program from when the Atlanta Braves won their only World Series, as well as a 1985 and 1987 Braves year book program. I also found two Legends Sports Memorabilia magazines that featured two of my favorite childhood sports stars: Dave Justice and Dan Marino. I also found a 1982 Cracker Jack All-Time Baseball Greats complete set on uncut sheets. Dug a little more and found the 1978 Hall of Fame Baseball Cards book by Bert Sugar. The book is in great shape, and has all the cards perfectly intact inside. Hard to find book, since most kids tore those cards out of the perforated pages. I was also able to find 3 Atlanta Braves original team photos from 1967, 1972, and 1973. Then, I stumbled upon complete sets of uncut perforated sheets of Braves team card sets that were stadium give aways for 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, and 1997 (which I also found a detatched set of these, too.) But the kicker were these beauties: an autographed 8x10 of 1980 NFL co-Rookie of the Year, Falcons linebacker Buddy Curry, autographed 1991 Upper Deck cards of former Braves Steve Avery and Greg Olson, and an autographed 1989 Upper Deck rookie card of future Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz! I called upon my inner Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz American Picker skills and bundled everything, taking them to the table. I offer $20 for everything, and they took it! So excited. Father's Day presents a week early!
Thanks, Rhonda!
Nice pick up on the Bob K. ! I'm a huge Fins fan and collecting the 72 guys myself, very cool.
