Peanuts from 1964

[trsent]

There is absolutely a daily strip of just that event. I saved it but it might be a task finding it. I'd say it was from the late 80s. The characters standing on line talking about who was at the show and what they each cost with the ending shot of Charlie Brown saying he got Joe Shlabotniks autograph and gave Charlie Brown a dollar.

That would be priceless if you found it.

Poor 'ole Charlie Brown, the players feel so sorry for him they give him money!

My all-time favorite Peanuts strip:

Lucy is playing the outfield, and whiffs on a fly ball.

Charlie Brown: "You're the worst player in the history of the game. I don't know why I keep you on the team." Walks away.

Lucy: "Life is full of mysteries!"

Too funny....way back in high school I photo copied this exact strip out of a peanuts paperback and had it hanging in my room. I felt his pain.

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.

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.

There have been some really weird sets out recently they all come 1 card to a pack and each pack is over $100. The last one I read about was the horrors of war set and in it was an Adolf Hitler signature and the person that got it was just a tad to excited about what he got for me.

I bought a pack of Famous Fabric Hooray for Hollywood on sale at Blowout Cards (during their black friday sale) and got a Sigourney Weaver signature, not mind boggling and probably not worth what I paid for it but still pretty cool. All these Famous Fabrics sets, every card is 1/1.

I think we all know somebody who, on a dare, would actually eat one of those peanuts, too.

I know I'm not the only one on this board who, at some point in the last ten years, was opening up a bunch of wax packs from 1988-91, and decided to see how that gum tasted.

I have totally done that! Not harmful, sugar and gum paste don't ever actually go bad. It splinters and become dozens of pieces of gum that doesn't recombine.

Now that you have no more respect for me, I bid you adieu.

The time I tried it, the gum just immediately dissolved and left a bad aftertaste.

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.
