Friday, June 29, 2012Year: 1982 Card: #231 Phillies Future Stars (Mark Davis / Bob Dernier / Ozzie Virgil) “ This was the first card set I ever collected. ” -addysdaddy
“ 1982 was when rookie hoarding began in earnest. You could buy "cut cases" (kinda like vending cases without the nice blue boxes) at the end of the season from dealers, break them down, and sell stacks of 100 of various players. So there were people out there who bought this card by the hundreds, thinking that one of the players would make it big. Despite a couple of useful years by Dernier and a Cy Young season by Davis, the card amounts to kindling now. ” -Dave Sosidka
“ Not a bad card really when you consider that all three had at least a little success at the big league level. ” -sascards67
