As some of you may be aware, I recently won an auction lot from Leski Auctions and had no real idea what I was getting. I did know I had won the following: 1965 Scanlens "Cricketers" [10/40 + 1 spare] 1958 Australian Licorice "Test Cricket Series" [1/32] Bradman - The Don Declares set of 8 cassette tapes in folder Cricket Books [x4]. I mainly bid on this lot for the cards to start me off on my set chase so here is what I got: #1 David Sincock (Australia), #2 Ian Chappell (Australia), #4 Barry Shepherd (Australia), #12 A Rare Cricket Photo, #14 Bob Simpson (Australia), #17 Brian Booth (Australia), #19 Micky Stewart (England), #30 Alan Connolly (Australia), #31 Wes Hall (West Indies) #34 Basil Butcher (West Indies), #12 A Rare Cricket Photo, Peter Loader (England) #26 Lindsay Kline (Australia) I have had a look at a fair few of these cards over the last few years so I have to say I am VERY impressed with the condition of the cards I got.......I was not expecting them to be in such great condition! One thing was unhappy about was that they were brilliantly packed and nicely sealed inside a team bag WITH AN ELASTIC BAND AROUND THEM! Needless to say a very stern email was sent to the appropriate person.....lucky for them it was not tight and no damage was done! Two questions for you guys: 1. What year and set is the Peter Loader card from and 2. Considering what these are selling for on eBay, should I sell them and make some $$$ to put towards other set chases or should I collect the set (knowing it will cost a fair bit)? I should note the cricket books I got were worth a read and the Bradman Tapes and album were in like new condition! Look forward to your responses
#12 A Rare Cricket Photo I just did a quick search on eBay and now realise why you said that! 1965 Scanlens | eBay F*ck me that was the bargain of the year for me! Some are selling for $30-50 each including an Ian Chappell that is not 1/2 as good as my one! Maybe I should just sell what I have and make some money because it's going to cost me a fair bit to complete this set. OK - Change question 2 to - Should I sell them or attempt to collect the set? lol
Clearly you should sell them to me. Except for the wrapper, Stewart and Simpson i bought the rest of those on ebay Still cant believe i got outbid on that wrapper - still dirty about it.
