On Wednesday I was able to spend all four hours looking around at the National Card Show in Chicago. I did see a few Magic Johnson and Larry Bird cards but no Gretzky. I wasn't really looking for these three since I knew the price would be out of my league, but it was nice to see a few.
I only found one display that had a solid stack of Sportscaster cards for sale. This table had two different stacks, each with at least 500 - 1000 cards. The more common stack had a price tag of $3.00 each so I didn't spend any time looking through them. I think the other stack was $5.00 but it didn't have big-name players either.
I made no purchases of Sportscaster cards at the show this year. It takes forever to sort and document the variations in this set, so I will keep working on that until I can get a complete list of the cards that I need.
Over the past few years I bought many large lots of Sportscaster cards and none have ever contained a Magic, a Bird or a Gretzky. Not a surprise, but I think I have almost all of the high numbers except for some of the stars.
Thanks for shsring. How many sets were printed? Wonder what is cost of mint set. How about Gretzky Magic n Bird sell for?
