None sold so far, any idea of value? I see one on ebay asking for a bunch of $, but I know how that works

It slides forward, but doesn’t flip up like my older electric smith corona. I want to give a thorough cleaning.

Last night I cleaned with compressed air and mineral spirits, one tiny drop of Parma bushing oil in the carriage track, and it worked fine. I turned it on this morning and the carriage doesn’t move, the spacebar doesn’t work. When i type a letter it stays in the same place. I can tab and release the carriage and it moves fine.

No spacebar action, no return bar action. What do I do?

It hasn’t been used for probably 18ish years, and is a little gummy. I intend to clean it and get it moving again. Any tips?

It was one of the best shows I have ever been to (and I am so old, I saw Nirvana in a club). My daughter and I are big fans, and were very much looking forward to his Dallas concert this year.

I asked for an idea of value from my local shop and they said $45. That’s insane for this card, right? NFS, but what do you think? No comps available.

I almost never sell, but I like to keep a total win/loss number - any ideas of value?

This time I left room for expansion- something I didn’t think about the first time.

I have been working on this for a little bit, and now I have the two “keys” left - Ted Williams and Roy Foster. I am trying to decide what to offer on Ted, because there seems to be only one of these 72 Topps card with an autograph in existence.

I am still ripping boxes, but this buying singles thing is pretty sweet too.

I thought “surely, it can’t be as awkward as people say”. It can. I swung by my local shop and grabbed some 620, and I will shoot my 8 pictures tomorrow and see how well this thing works. Any tips?

I am pretty happy with my “pull” and the team set altogether.

I am working on building a signed 1972 Rangers team set - and I filled my first page. I know Tom isn’t signed, but he is a tough one. I doubt I will pay up for a Ted Williams card either, so hopefully I can get 90% complete.

Should I keep it? 2006 95 Aero
