I remember we had a set of good cards that had Los Angeles international airport art Deco design on them and they were in a box with gold edging. I don't ever remember what we did with them but my family had those for years and never opened the box. Our neighbor got them for us
Maybe if the box was in better shape, but no not more than 50 imo
Im very upset I can
I don't have cards, but I have a set of coasters from the Concord.
Sorry I hit the wrong key. I’m very upset that because I’m in Canada I cannot log onto your website. it’s too bad.

Time to market your #OJ simpson autographs for resale. ... See MoreSee Less
I think it’s ok to share your expertise about items when someone passes, but to smile is just in bad taste.
Almost everything bought and sold has some sort of death or suffering behind it, I'm sure dr lori knows OJ Simpson was a monster but is just trying to give good advice,, I figured she was smiling because that puke is finally dead
For the love of God, people- get a grip. No sinister message here. Don’t like it, scroll on!
Not sure if intentional - but think this pic is an awesome choice as it provided some of us with more history. Was anyone else curious as to the Seattle connection with O.J. or were you just worried over her smiling? I was so curious I went and googled to find a connection. A.C. Cowlings - lifelong friend of O.J. - played for Seattle at one point. Oh and he was also the infamous Bronco driver. Both Cowlings and O.J. were tennis fanatics - often playing each other - so a very cool autograph no matter the who or why. People often forget that O.J. was a very famous athlete - and just that alone would make his autographs worth more today. So smile away Dr. Lori! You know stuff!
WHO WOULD WANT THEM? IM SURPRISED YOU WOULD EVEN TALK ABOUT IT. Not worth your time!
You’re awful to suggest to sell his autographs. while some rejoice he’s finally dead. He was a wife and stranger killer as proved in civil court .
People, chill! She’s making a statement to collectors.
Most of the things we sell , people have died... dosnt matter what you do people will troll you , And the internet is the perfect place. When OJ went to get his items back, he had a gun,served 9 years in jail for it, he was not squeaky clean. Dr Lori is just doing her job , giving you information about it.... Hope my things are valuable when I die too, my children will be 😊 happy. Keep soldiering on Dr Lori, we cannot please the whole world with wisdom lol.
Dr Lori included a picture of herself with something from a NFL team & she happens to be smiling. To my knowledge OJ Simpson never played for the Seahawks. The only connection between her image & comment is the NFL. Please don’t be so overly critical.
Omg I love you Dr Lori! 😂❤️👌🏻
Why would anyone even want an autograph from that guy?
I enjoy seeing Dr. Lori smile---for whatever reason. 💕
He has a family, just like you. I’m out.
You are awesome haha 😄
🤣😂🤣 Dr. Lori you rock!
BRUTAL, Dr. Lori!!!!
Mixed feelings about this; I hate the idea of anyone profiting off of this demon's brand, it's disgusting and why I despise all things Kardashian. However, Nazi paraphernalia is highly valued due to it's historical significance. I don't know, maybe with OJ it's just too soon.
Boy, that sure "went south" quickly
I plead the 5th on this one.
Guess I will have to get out my OJ Simpson Bronco chase watch that I bought during the trial in front of the LA courthouse and see what I can get - never worn.
You Rock Girl
I have his autograph and thank you Dr Lori for reminding me to dig it out I knew someday it'd be worth something. Thank God I have a video call tomorrow with Dr Lori when I'll ask how much is it worth. And just fyi no I don't feel guilty at all.
🤣🤣🤣 This is gold.
I don't think today is the day for jokes..tommorow I may take a stab at it...

The best ice cream I ever had, was Ben & Jerry's Peanut Brittle Ice Cream. I wish I could find it, again!
In town for the Blue White game? I love Peachy Paterno!
Hope to see you Friday 😃
Have you tried the peanut butter Oreos? I'm just saying...
Have you tried the Death By Chocolate or Grilled Stickies flavors...those two are my favorites! 😋💙🤍
Peachy Paterno was a favorite. Not sure if they still have that flavor.
I bet that wasn't on the list your nutritionist gave you.
What’s your favorite flavor?
Came up one winter's day for a campus tour for my daughter. Didn't even know they had a dairy that sold ice cream. It was absolutely the best ice cream I've ever had.
Love their ice cream! So many good flavors. 😋
Love The Creamery! We're a huge Penn State family with my father-in-law getting his PhD there and taught on the faculty, my husband and both his brothers graduated from there and our son and two of our nephews graduated from there. Now there are 3 little great nephews possibly future Penn Staters and another one on the way that we don't know yet if boy or girl. 💙
My favorite flavor! Enjoy!
Love that ice cream
My favorite flavor!!!
Not a big fan of ice cream but I would love to try coffee flavor.
Amazing ice cream
We went a few times when my girls had swim meets at PSU!!
Oh, they have the BEST cream cheese.
