"You were lookin' at ROBIN Roberts....your card's worth 4 cents."

If you know, you know. This commercial used to run on ESPN constantly in the summer of 95. I remember my dad and I cracking up to it, but of course, my everything-must-be-taken-literal-12-year-old-card-collecting-kid-brain at the time called immediate BS on this because there is NO WAY Bip Roberts and Robin Roberts rookies would ever be listed together in a price guide since they were listed by year and not last name....ahh memories.

lol, I remember this one very well...my friends and I howled (even though we knew the same things you did about price guides). We were 15 years old and stopped collecting, but the funniest thing was always Tony's high-pitched voice, especially in another commercial when he mentioned the wind speed.

Nice, I don't remember seeing that.
