Pick ups off a dollar box smorgasbord

1979 TCMA Baseball History Series Jackie Robinson #291 - I like the old school look of this card, though the it's valued as much as any basic, retro themed Robinson card released over the past 40 years.

2006 Upper Deck All-Time Legends Satchel Paige #ATL-39 - the first time I became aware of Paige was seeing a 'poster' featuring his Six Rules For A Happy Life in my junior high language arts teacher's classroom.

1995 Flair Cal Ripken Jr. Enduring #15 - mail in - acknowledging the crowd in his historic 2,131 game.

1996 Topps Finest Landmark Series Promos Cal Ripken Jr. NNO - the greening gave me pause, but this oddball, smaller sized card may have been too weird not to make a keeper.

1985 Star Ryan Nolan Ryan promo "Baseball's K-King - labeled as an NBA card, so I assume this sample was printed as a mock up rather than part of the actual set [if it was made] that was supposed to be released.

I'm guessing that at this point, it would be pretty near impossible to find one of those Ripken's without any greening on it. Given how bad some of those old Finest can get, yours doesn't really look that bad at all.
