Mixed Collection of Vintage and Modern Sports Trading Cards

This assembly consists of 16 various sports trading cards spanning baseball, basketball, and football, covering several decades from early 20th-century reprints/tobacco-style cards to the 1990s. Notable inclusions are a 1982 Topps Reggie Jackson (#400), a 1978 Kellogg’s 3-D Super Stars Lyman Bostock, and a 1950s-style reprint of Whitey Ford. Basketball highlights include early 1990s SkyBox and Upper Deck cards featuring stars like Moses Malone and Sean Elliott. Each card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches, though tobacco-style inserts are smaller. The collection is printed on varying cardstock weights, from high-gloss modern finishes to matte vintage-style paper. Condition varies across the lot; several cards exhibit visible corner softening, slight edge wear, and surface scuffing. Of note, the Whitey Ford card appears to have significant centering issues or edge trimming on its white border. The Lyman Bostock 3-D card shows typical vertical cracking common to the plastic lenticular coating of that era. Overall, the group represents mass-produced cards from the 'junk wax era' mixed with some classic legacy reprints, showing a wide range of photographic quality and design aesthetics typical of Topps, Fleer, Playoff, and SkyBox manufacturing.
