Loading ...I’d be willing to bet your GI Joe stuff is worth a pretty penny now. They just don’t make no mo!
You’re too young for Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig are your favorites. Ya gotta pick someone in the 50’s – 60″s. Any Mantle, Mays, Clemente, Ted Williams (I’d think more your style) , Aaron. There were so many great players when I was growing up. I remember listening to the Dodgers Vin Scully when I was a little kid always when they played the Giants. Drysdale, who’s wife Anne Meyers (best woman basketball player in College) was a pretty good friend. After he died suddenly and she was left with three young children. The boys were in a man’s body. They were my kids friends in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, until we moved to Idaho.
I can tell you that I don’t have anything of real value from Lou or Babe. By the time I started, most of that stuff was unaffordable or more than I was willing to pay for, although I’ve learned 20 years later that it’s all relative. It must have been very hard for her. She had box seats for life, the Dodgers keep X amount of seats for former players and families. She’d throw us tickets, also tickets to UCLA Football games. Deal was that I took the kids, she got a break.
My focus has been the 50’s and 60’s with as many Mantle’s as I could get my hands on. Willie Mays, Aaron and Roberto Clemente too.
I’ve been asleep for 20 years Goldie, depressed with how gold never got going and then there’s the shares…things have changed a lot. Check out the prices of graded/slabbed MS 67 Morgan Silver dollars. It is unbelievable what they are asking for even the weakest years, i.e. 1921. Somehow, in my slumber I just kept buying these things and stuffed it away. Ya just never know unless you’re paying attention. 🙂
