When you're a hard-core collector of one team, there are a ton of instances where you get stuck with untradeable cards because no one has comparable pieces in their collection. So these valuable gems of history are what you're stuck with; I'll share a few of the cards I'm stuck with, and to be honest, I'm very grateful for my Odds and Ends collection.
I sold cards on Ebay for a few years, but it was too much hassle and expensive for shipping, so around my 400th sale, I quit. Now that these gems are starting to pile up in my collection, today's post is about a cards I pulled and saved.
2009 Topps American Heritage - American Legends Relics: Mickey Mantle
Inserted 1:1,472 hobby packs; 1:1,590 retail packs
Secondary Collection:
- HOF Autograph or Relics
- Rookies Autograph or Relics
- World Series Autograph or Relics
- ex-Cubs on different teams Autograph or Relics
These secondary collections get to be fairly valuable over the years, and before you know it, you're looking forward to getting any of these gems. I hope 2023 will be a banner year for Cubs and the rest of the collection.
