BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Vintage Topps and Donruss Baseball Cards and Collectibles Featuring 1950s Stars and 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie
A diverse collection of vintage baseball cards and promotional collectibles, primarily produced by Topps with some Donruss representation, spanning the mid-1950s through the late 1980s. The lot includes notable early cards such as the 1955 Topps Dean Stone (#140) and Bill Renna (#12), along with 1956 Topps Camilo Pascual (#101) and Bob Kennedy (#145). Key modern-era cards include a 1989 Topps Traded Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card (#110T), a 1980 Topps Pete Rose (#10), and a 1979 Topps Strikeout Leaders card (#201) featuring Nolan Ryan and J.R. Richard. The 1978 Topps set is well-represented with cards for Paul Molitor (rookie), Alan Trammell (rookie), Tom Seaver, Robin Yount, and Rod Carew. Also included are specialty issues such as 1973 Batting Leaders, 1970 Topps Rookies (Scott Northey), 1976 World Series highlights, and Baltimore Orioles team cards. The lot is rounded out by a group of circular cardboard promotional discs from the mid-to-late 1970s featuring players like Bob Bailor and Bill North. All signatures visible on the cards, including those of Jim Palmer and Camilo Pascual, are printed facsimile signatures.
