I was originally going to sell these in my local newspaper or on craigslist, and then buy bitcoins with the money. Then I thought to myself "Wait a minute, one of the main features of bitcoin is that we don't NEED a fiat middleman!", so I decided to try and post them here first instead.
These were collected by my father when he was younger, and were stuck in a closet for nearly 30 years, untouched. Roughly 15 years ago they were given to me to "sell when an opportunity presented itself", and were once again placed back in a closet. They are all in very good condition, I spent roughly 3 days putting them in numerical order to see what I had, and I didn't notice even a single crease on all 1,200 cards. They are literally in the condition you'd expect them to be if they were slightly handled before being stored away for over 4 decades. As you can see from the pictures, the cards include many iconic players we all grew up hearing about.
I wanted to hold onto them until the baby boomers who collected them as children started retiring in a few years, as the value would naturally increase as they tried to reminiscence on their childhood with their freetime and start collecting them again, but I want to try my luck with bitcoins. But enough with the introduction, here is what we have:
Set includes roughly 1,200 cards. Almost half are 1969 Topps, about a quarter are 1970 Topps, and the remaining quarter 1971-74 Topps
1969 Topps - approx 550 cards *large portion of set*

1969 Topps Deckle Edge - almost complete set

1972 Topps, 1973 Topps, 1974 Topps - approx 50 cards each
Includes: Willie Mays x2, Carl Yastrzemski, Roberto Clemente, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver, and Pete Rose.
If you would like to make an offer or have any questions, do not hesitate to post below or send me a private message. As to how many bitcoins I'd like, I have an idea in my head, and it leaves plenty of profit for a buyer who wants to resell them, or hold onto them so they can continue to appreciate in value.
Thanks again!
