I ran across this awesome point-of-sale sign featuring halfback Charley Trippi and QB Paul Christman of the Chicago Cardinals in Mastro's December 2005 catalog; since Christman only played for Chicago until '49, It must be from the '40s despite being titled as a '50s piece.

Mastro offered this incredible uncut sheet of 1/4 of the complete set of 1933 Goudey World War Gum cards in their November 2000 catalog; Heritage Auctions recently re-sold the sheet for $492 in October 2024.

Time to open up the archives! Starting with the August 1971 issue of The Trader Speaks. I’ll be scanning back issues from The Hobby Library to share as resources for the community.

The Trader Speaks, Vol 3 No 10 August 15, 1971 – Post War Cards

Here's an incredible item I can't remember seeing before: a 1937 Goudey Thum Movies Uncut Seet featuring 300 individual views.

In July 2000, REA sold two 1973 Topps "1953 Reissue" Test Sets in their internet/telephone auction held in partnership with eBay. The cards are awesome, but I dislike that PSA calls them reprints on the flips; they're a little more unique than a "reprint!"

Sports Card Magazine's monthly auction report highlighted an incredible item in its April 1998 issue: the sale of a completely signed 80-card 1959 Fleer Ted Williams Set!

Kit Kiefer was a former editor of Baseball Cards Magazine and the VP of Professional Hobby Consultants, so he knows a thing or two about sports cards. Here's his list of the 10 most significant action photos of all time, in order of importance. Not bad, huh?
