Re: Peanuts from 1964
This 1964 flashback is cool. If this strip were drawn late in Charles Schulz's life, Charlie Brown would also be buying a Joe Shlabotnik autograph ticket at a card show.

Re: Peanuts from 1964
And here I thought you were talking about actual peanuts. I was going to suggest that you throw them to the squirrels.

Re: Peanuts from 1964
That, and his five bucks would only be buying him a pack or two of cards.
Unless you're really hot on finding one of those "memorabilia" cards, I don't understand why anyone buys those packs now, as expensive as they are. I see dealers at the local card show selling the commons 15 for a buck, and, hey, you can even pick out the cards you actually want, instead of buying a pig in a poke.
It was different back in the day (and '64 was about the time that I was buying packs) when a pack was 5 or 10 cents, no one knew what a card show was, and Topps didn't sell factory sets, as far as I know.
When I first read the title of the thread, I, too, thought somebody was talking about some very old peanuts. ("Game-used", no doubt.) Somewhere around here, I have a container of sunflower seeds in the shape of a Louisville Slugger that they came out with a few years ago - anybody else buy one of those? I'd imagine that those are already on their way to being petrified or ossified, or whatever seeds do after so long. And a couple of sealed boxes of "Big Unit" breakfast cereal. And a box of Frosted Flakes from Puerto Rico with a picture on the front of Tony the Tiger with his arm around Carlos Baerga, which I got Baerga to sign.
What...derail the thread...me?

Re: Peanuts from 1964
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.

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!"

Re: Peanuts from 1964
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.
