Offered is the opportunity to possess both a 1989 Dellaferas' Basketball Price Guide (with Michael Jordan on the cover), Volume 1, Number 1; and a 1989 Dellaferas' Football Monthly (Price Guide) Volume 1, Number 5. 1) The Dellaferas' Basketball Guide has a color photo of Michael Jordan on the cover. Jordan is wearing Number 9 of his USA uniform from the 1984 Olympics when the U.S. Men's Basketball Team won the Gold Medal. The guide measures 8.25x10.75", and it contains 24 stapled pages, including covers. The price lists do not include every card but concentrate on cards that are in demand. The prices are set for a card in Near Mint condition. Often, approximately 10-25% of the cards from a set are listed. The guide provides a fascinating trip back through time for card collectors: For example, a 1986-87 Fleer Complete Set is listed for only $105.00, and that year's Fleer Card #57 is a Michael Jordan rookie card, listed for $80.00. Also, a 1957-58 Topps Card #78 is Bill Russell, listed for $650.00. This guide has numerous black & white, small photos of Hall of Famers, and interesting advertisements from throughout the hobby. 2) The Dellaferas' Football Monthly Price Guide measures 8.1x10.75" and has 48 stapled pages, including the covers. The guide has quarterback Fran Tarkenton on the cover, in a color photo of him as a Minnesota Viking. The guide has numerous small black & white photos of Hall of Famers and stars. Price lists are included for 1935, and then 1948 through 1989. As with the Dellaferas' Basketball Guide, usually, only about 10-25% of the cards in a set are listed, and the listed price assumes a Near Mint card. Some examples of prices listed: In the 1935 Chicle Set, a Knute Rockne card is listed at $775.00. A 1958 Topps Jim Brown rookie card is listed at $225.00. The Dellaferas' Football and Basketball Guides bring lots of nostalgia and information, especially with the guides' listing of vintage cards. Both guides are in EXCELLENT condition.
