JoeC36 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 wayne is my #1 favorite of all time. He had the heart that most players dont have today. He could have played with Namath and Maynard and fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 awesome heelz. when I found my collection in my moms attic a few years back, I bought a book to get an idea of values. I think the joe namath rookie card was the most valuable card in the book valued at around 1100 bucks. most cards I thought to be worth a lot (paul hornung) bart starr etc were worth very little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 when I was a kid I had a baseball scrapbook where I would tape (with masking tape) cards and clippings from the Daily News, the Post, The Times and Sport and SI onto pages of a book that was 8 inches thick. I had cards from the 50's 60's and early 70's in there. Then when i moved to Florida and started driving a cab I would go to card shows and purchase the cards I didn't have-like the Al Kalines, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron Stan the Man Frank and Brooks Robinsons as well as Mantle, Maris, Nolan Ryan cards-all the greats from when I was growing up. Every once in a while I would take them out and play with them until I said WTF are you doing? Then one day some guy wanted to buy a Ryan card that I had paid a penny for in a pack for $35, the proverbial light bulb went off over my head and I decided to sell them all. With that money I mead from those cards I bought a new car and a whole set up of musical equipment, a PA system, a Washburn acoustic/ electric guitar and lights-it basically put me in business as a musician and got us the car to fit it all in. I never regretted it or looked back saying I wish i hadn't sold my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is graded and has a high number, the value goes up even more. The Namath Rookie is one of two cards I want to own before I die, the other being a Michael Jordan rookie.
