Vintage Sports Card Appraisal

Collection of Vintage Sports Cards (Trading Cards)

This is a diverse grouping of seven vintage sports trading cards, primarily featuring Major League Baseball players with one NFL football card. The collection includes a mix of standard cardboard stock and specialized cereal premium cards. Notable pieces include a 1970 Kellogg’s Corn Flakes 'Baseball Greats' card of Warren Spahn, which features a distinctive blue ribbed border design. Also present is a 1979 Topps Paul Molitor card and a 1971 Topps 'Play Baseball' Scratch-Off card featuring Mel Stottlemyre. The cards represent various 1970s and 1980s eras, including players Jerry Reuss (Pirates), George Scott (Red Sox), Dave Kingman (Mets), and a more modern 1990s Fleer Ultra Emmitt Smith football card. Physically, the cards show varying degrees of wear consistent with age. Several cards exhibit softened or rounded corners, minor surface scuffing, and edge wear. The Paul Molitor card shows noticeable centering issues, being top-heavy. The Mel Stottlemyre scratch-off card appears unscratched but shows significant foxing and edge softening. The Warren Spahn card has visible corner dings on the lower right. These cards were manufactured by major companies of the time, including Topps, Kellogg's, and Fleer/Ultra. This assortment represents a range of collectible grades from Good (3) to Excellent (5), with value driven by player hall-of-fame status and physical preservation.
