Re: Peanuts from 1964
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.

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
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.

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.
