    Hello, I am new to the forum; and sadly enough I won't be using it often. Though I would appreciate some help here, I have a deck of cards from 1969; they were a gift to my grandpa, I recently came across them in some old boxes. They come with a little personal note as well, the cards come in a box that says "Duluth Missabe and Iron range"
    I know they aren't one of a kind, but I feel like they are valuable. Would anyone be able to give me a price range, or something of a value for these old cards? [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Thank you!

    I am actually completely unaware of what he actually did, but I would assume so. Unfortunately he has passed, I would've never known to ask. That is a good question though, I will look into it and get back to anyone on that.

    Welcome to the Forum, Ian! :)
    Are they in the original cellophane?

    I for one graduated high school that year. Having a 50th reunion this year.
    I do not consider myself "extremely old". Cantankerous maybe:mad::mad::mad:

    Those are the same cards! Thank you for finding them. They do hold quite a sentimental value, I wonder how many people got little notes with them.

    Hi,
    Young whippersnappers. I was 33 in 1969. Ian must think I am an incredibly ancient old man. You are not really old until you are 110.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
