Each item in this lot was obtained directly from our consignor while he was a young baseball hungry child and teenager, trolling the local golf course where his father worked. Used to write players, too. Many are addressed to him personally. By the way, he still is baseball hungry. Mostly baseball related (some golf) this group includes Topps cards and 1970-80s alternative cards. Mostly HOFers. Many deceased.
