Don Drysdale Baseball Cards

WORDS FROM & ABOUT
Don Drysdale

Pirates shortstop Dick Groat claimed �Batting against Don Drysdale is the same as making a date with the dentist.�

According to Orlando Cepeda: �The trick against Drysdale is to hit him before he hits you.�

Drysdale retired with (154) batters hit by a pitch, the modern baseball record.

Frank Robinson said "He was mean enough to do it, and he did it continuously. You could count on him doing it.

His next at-bat after hitting a HR and yelling 'Hey, batboy, come get the bat.'" Drysdale plunked Gene Oliver, yelling 'Hey, batboy, come get Oliver.'"

Don Drysdale twice hit seven home runs in a season, tying the record. NOTE:Ohtani it (7) in 2024.

He pitched (58) consecutive scoreless innings in 1968, breaking Walter Johnson's all-time Major League record.

Ways to sell your baseball cards

2 reasons auctions are popular way to sell vintage sports cards.
#1 Desirable items tend to get top dollar (or better !)
#2 Everything goes
... This can be good - Everything gone, happy with final total
... or can be very bad - Everything gone, but at super low prices

OTHER WAYS TO SELL YOUR CARDS
•eBay Buy-it-Now •card store •swap meet •Craigslist •garage/yard sale
or •DONATE to a charity for tax write-off
Not selling but perhaps easiest with possible $$$ return.
ASSUMPTIONS:
#1) You are one of the RARE tax payers left in America
#2) You have mostly late 80's & 90's "junk"
Consider donating the "junk" and keep better stuff to sell later. Tax deduction was based on LESSER of "what-it-cost" & "What-it's-Worth". For "What-it's-Worth", I use Beckett which can be higher than what you paid. Check with your tax guy.
