A hoard of 1980s baseball cards comprises most of this hoard, with however about 150 dating back to 1969 carrying some appeal. A side-to-side crease and a two-inch surface indentation send Mickey Mantle’s last card to F, with two Tom Seaver cards and some other stars nicer. The Seavers are EX+ and EX, with 430-Bench All-Star (EX), 450-Billy Williams (EX (OC)) and 51-Carew (G) joined by others, all numbered between 400 and 646. Expect VG-EX to EX and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with superior examples, with duplication also to note. As for the contingent from the ‘80s, the rookie cards in our title headline the group, with the summary as follows and card totals approximate. Some (1200) ’82 Fleer cards are headlined by an EX Cal Ripken Jr. RC and from then on it’s Topps action in the form of complete and near complete sets, starting with an ’83 gathering shy of two dozen cards for completion. Tony Gwynn, Ryne Sandberg and Wade Boggs rookies are NM or very close (EX-MT+), with 700+ duplicates on hand. A near set of ‘85s (755/792) features NM Mark McGwire, Kirby Puckett and Roger Clemens rookies, with three additional Pucketts and two extra Clemens in the EX-MT to NM realm and amid 700+ extras. Two ensembles from ’87 are presumed complete and are accompanied by 800+ “traders”, with ’88 and’89 assemblies appearing to be complete. Chipper Jones’ RC is the focal point of a near set (700+) from 1991 and is also present among 600+ extras. If our calculations are correct, some 9000 cards will be coming your way if you’re the high bidder.
