Re: Peanuts from 1964
Before clicking on the thread, I originally thought someone bought a collectible that had peanuts from 1964 in it.
My son was watching SpongeBob before school last week and the episode was very similar.
SpongeBob bought every pack in the display that he had enough money for, trying to score a $5000.00 card. Squidward comes up after, buys the last pack and scores the rare card.

Re: Peanuts from 1964
I'm beginning to think that maybe the whole "memorabilia" card thing has reached its nadir.
Leaf has a new "celebrity" set - "Leaf Pop Century" - for 2011, and the ultimate chase card in this set - 1/1, of course - is some kind of a fold-out card that contains a cut auto of JFK, a cut auto of Lee Harvey Oswald (!), and a swatch from the limo JFK was riding in when he was shot.
Really.

Re: Peanuts from 1964
You're not.
Back in the early 1990s, at a Cincinnati show, my wife, Shirley, took in over $50 in five dollar wagers from other dealers who didn't think she could eat 1970s pack gome without hurling it up.
We challenged Mr. Mint to a $100 bet on a stick of gum from a 1954 Bowman pack from his then just-discovered find. He wouldn't wager.

Alright tough guys. How much to eat a 48 year-old-cookie?

Re: Peanuts from 1964
Hilarious. And why am I so amused/fascinated by someone eating decades-old gum?
You realize we are all mentally damaged by this hobby, right?

Re: Peanuts from 1964
Wow - Thanks for pulling this thread up again with such a great addition!
I have a weakness for Peanuts cartoons and I have a small collection of Woodstock (Snoopy's pal) memorabilia and I miss the daily that was part of my life for so many years all the time.
You at least brought a smile to my face today. Need to find how to get that strip reproduced. They sell them now as collectibles.
