Vintage Sports Card Packs a Challenge on eBay

August 24, 2011 By Rich Mueller

The recent sale of a 1948 Bowman basketball wax pack proved again how difficult it is to find such improbable relics and how much demand there is when they do come on the market.  It stands to reason, of course, that not all that many packs from the pre-1970s era are still out there in unopened form.  All it takes is a check of YouTube to see that collectors are ripping more of … [Read more...] about Vintage Sports Card Packs a Challenge on eBay

Not anymore. Dozens of shops have come and gone, but two long-time dealers are still at it. Baseball Card Company in … [Read more...] about A Tale of Two Sports Card Businesses

May 26, 2011 By Rich Mueller

Items seized by police from a Pennsylvania dealer convicted on theft by deception charges are still being held after the state attorney general said he wanted to wait until after Roger Lee Hooper's appeals were heard.

California Card Shop Rolls On

April 15, 2011 By Rich Mueller

Upper Deck had just been born.  Score was still around.   Topps was still putting gum in its wax packs (and they really were made of wax).  1989 seems like ancient history now, but probably like yesterday for Matt Mossette. The owner of Mossette's Sports Cards in Fresno launched his business more than 21 years ago and he's still going strong, outlasting … [Read more...] about California Card Shop Rolls On
