Vintage Game Used Ads

[Eric]

Hello everyone-

I picked up some old issues of Sports Collectors Digest and was surprised to see how many game used ads there were. I had to crop some of them to keep the size down, but I kept in the game used parts. This is from March 30, 1984

Eric,

Thanks for sharing these. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I go thru the old SCS ads and see what I could have gotten back then verses what I actually brought!

Here's another ad which I got for Christmas along with my Griffey helmet. These prices seemed pretty good back then. They may not be as old as the ads you posted but it's still weird seeing all these game used ads, since I never see them now, except for a few Steiner ads

What I find interesting are the jersey sizes in the Ball Four ad with the Rangers and Braves jerseys. As small as 38, as large as 46, most 40-44. It's rare these days to find one as small as 46.

It's nice to reminisce about the times when prices were low and Lou Lampson had an address and telephone number...
