    Re: Western Bulldogs Memorabilia

    How does Ron Barrassi rate a rookie card in 1975?

    In 1975 he would have been in his 40s and was involved in his 9th VFL flag at his third club.

    Must be a typo.

    I believe his debut was in Scanlens first year being the 1963 set.

    I am after these football cards if anybody wants to sell. Most would be over $50 each. No creases or blotches please.

    Yeah Barrass would have been in that set for sure. He was a huge star in the 50s and 60s.

    Unless they were making up for the fact that he didn't get a Rookie card in 1953 or whenever he was a rookie.

    Heated trading of vintage footy cards has seen asking prices for collections from the 60s top $16,000 on eBay as traders and memory hunters ramp up interest.


    Now is the time to get out to the garage and dig out the old cards. Even if they’re not worth much, the trip down memory lane is often worth it.


    $1000 FOR A SINGLE CARD


    Elliot Dean of footy card listing site www.aflfootycards.com said the original Scanlens set of 1963 is the hottest property with cards worth $1000 each or more.




    “That was the first ever Scanlens set and it had only 18 cards,” Mr Dean said.


    “Now they sell for up to $1000 for a single card. For a complete set, you’re looking at $10,000 or more.”

    The cards, which sometimes pop up on eBay or appear at trade shows, are deemed the most valuable, but other cards from later decades can also fetch a pretty penny.


    “The 1975 Scanlens card of Ron Barassi, which was his rookie card, is also very sought after,” Mr Dean said.


    “So is the 1985 Gary Ablett card, which was Ablett’s first card.


    “I get people emailing me with cards from the late 60s wondering how much they’re worth, and in some instances they can be worth a fair bit.”

    WHAT TO COLLECT NOW


    Footy cards can grow in value with time, and picking the right ones now could be a blessing for you, or your grandchildren.


    Cards from footy legends’ first seasons are popular, selling for up to $100 per card from decades past.


    Picking cards for strong draft picks is a good idea.


    Also picking up rookie cards for the likes of Lance Franklin and Luke Hodge while they’re not too expensive is a wise move.


    “If they’re a good footballer and they’re popular, those cards will do well,” Mr Dean said.


    “But just follow your gut. If you love them as a footy player, chances are that person will become more valuable over time.


    In general full collections in good condition are worth more money over time than single cards that have been knocked around a bit.”


    Cartons of unopened cards are also worth more, but you’re hardly able to enjoy them now.


    IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY


    While collecting cards can be insanely lucrative for some, the most precious part is often not the money, Mr Dean said.


    Cards are high in value because of the memories they hold and often due to family connections.


    “Often people contact me looking for a very specific card because their grandfather or relative played for a team,” he said.


    “Often it’s all about the memories the card has and that’s why people are drawn to them.”
    Rick Milne of 3AW fame and an expert in the selling of memorabilia has quoted previously that a set of 18 in the Scanlens 1963 first issue sold for twenty thousand dollars.

    I thought some of you may get a kick out of some of this stuff. It was handed down by my grandfather who was a life member at Footscray and played in the late 30s. I really love looking through it all:
