Collection of Vintage and Modern Sports Trading Cards

A diverse grouping of roughly a dozen sports trading cards featuring iconic athletes from Major League Baseball, the NBA, and the NFL. Notable items in this collection include a 1989 Donruss Cal Ripken Jr. 'MVP' card, a reproduction or vintage Mickey Mantle card, an Ozzie Smith rookie-era style card, and a Topps Barry Sanders rookie card. The cards are constructed from standard cardstock with various finishes ranging from high-gloss modern surfaces to classic matte cardboard. Each card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Physical protection is evident as most cards are housed in clear plastic top-loaders or semi-rigid sleeve protectors, which have helped preserve the corners and edges from significant blunting. The condition appears mixed; while some modern cards like the Rickey Henderson 'Record Breaker' exhibit sharp corners, older vintage-style cards show slight surface wear and natural age-related discoloration on the reverse sides. No major creases or water damage are visible in the provided image. This collection spans several decades of manufacturing, including brands like Topps, Donruss, and NBA Hoops, making it a comprehensive cross-section of sports hobby history from the late 1960s to the 1990s and early 2000s.
