    Still collecting Frank Thomas in any uni and HoFer G/U & Auto's.

    I do not trade nor buy at "eBay values", unless a card is so rare that it is unlisted.

    I must be ancient, I remember 23 of those 25 items. The only two that don't pop into my mind are #1(never heard of Blackjack gum) and #11(however, I do remember when phone #'s had two letters and then five numbers). I also remember getting a baseball card and a stick of gum for one cent.

    Have a good day.

    The main items Im looking to trade for are
    Baseball HOFers Autos I need
    Orioles Autos I need
    Baseball HOFers GU I need
    Orioles GU I need
    Vintage Orioles I need 1950s through 1970
    However other offers will be considered
