A very interesting lot is up for auction on Yahoo right now. Its about 350 cards.
The good news: roughly half of them are lovely vintage Calbee cards from the 1970s and 1980s. My favorite kind of baseball card and exactly the sort of thing I like to browse for and bid on.
The bad news: the other half is 1988 Donruss cards. More specifically, 1988 Donruss cards with dinged corners.
What an odd pairing. I'm not sure if my desire to own more vintage Calbees outweighs my desire to not own more 1988 Donruss cards (and a slightly stronger desire to not own more 1988 Donruss cards with dinged corners).
Well, its not really a dilemma as the Donruss would be going straight into the cardboard recycling bin on arrival if I did win this lot, so I'd really just be bidding for whatever I think the Calbees are worth. I more just find it amusing that lots like this exist with such odd combinations.
