Posted By: <b>Ted</b><p>Since I started opening packs in the early 50s, they have been my favorites. I am just getting into the earlier stuff, but have been dealing in all the cards from WWII through about the mid-sixties for several years now. I can offer a 10% discount from my regular prices for board members, so email me with your want lists. Or I can also swap for some of your duplicate pre-war cards to make a cashless deal.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I collect the graded 55 and 58 sets and am dying to find a 7 or 8 in 55 Fowler and Collins. Help this desperate man.

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>Collecting 50's, 60's, and even 70's (1975 Topps is one of my favorites) is still fun...it's much easier to put a set together and cards are readily available. With some vintage sets, when you get to a certain point, it can be a couple months before a card you need becomes available. In those times, it's good to be able to just jump on EBay or go to a show and easily find cards for your set.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>and it is very hard to stop loving the cards of our youth.for most of us it's the 50's thru the 70's but for the younger people i'm sure the 80's cards are cherised. it's fun to look at cards and remember buying them or that long forgotten player.i don't think anyone remembers getting a pack of goudey's or opening a box of cracker jack and pulling out a joe jackson. but i still can remember getting packs from the 60's and pulling out a fox,minoso or aparicio and even a buddy bradford!!!so now even though i try not to spend $$ on these.sometimes it's hard to resist.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>I love the modern era pre 1980 stuff. My youth was the 1970's so I actively collect the cards from that era. I also collected the 50s-60s as a kid so I have lots of them and I add to them when the price is right. Lately, I've been buying regionals from the era with favorite players, HOF tribute cards (1961 Golden Press, 1960-61 Fleer, etc.), 3-D cards, Topps Supers, coins and other oddball cheap cards.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I love my 71 and 72 sets, but modern cards bore me to tears. I buy a pack of new cards occasionally just open one up, but have no desire to collect the set or anything. The Topps205 set is the closest I've come to collecting a new set since getting back in the hobby.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>The tribute sets I mentioned are cheap, informative (I had no idea Billy Hamilton was so good until I read the back of his 1961 Fleer) and very well produced. The Golden Press cards in particular are little artworks of very high quality. Some of the sets from the postwar era also have classic images and are very challenging to collect if you go high grade and hand assembled like I do. Plus, how can you not love 3-D cards?

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Moraine</b><p>Being on 24 years old, (nearly 25) ALL I collect are vintage cards. I enjoy collecting cards from the 50's- 60's. Those were the innocent days of the game when ballplayers played for the love of the game. NOT multi- million dollar contracts. Those days came later, during the baseball memorabilia/ baseball card show boom during the 1980's. Some of my favorite 50's- 60's players to collect whose vintage cards are in my personal collection include... Matle, Maris, Mays, Williams, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Aaron, and of course, Van Meter, Iowa native, and the man I share my birthday with.... Bob Feller. I am a charter member/ volunteer at his museum in Van Meter, Iowa as well. www.bobfellermuseum.org (CHEAP PLUG!)<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Adam J. Moraine<br />Des Moines, Iowa

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Moraine</b><p>Julie, <br /><br />Are you making fun of me because I am from Iowa? Actually I am from the capital Of Iowa, Des Moines. We have a population of nearly 275,000 people. Are you from California, Julie? How about sharing a glass of merlot with me, Julie?(it is my favorite)OR better yet.....a handful of walnuts (LOL)

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>at the moment. The rest of the verse goes " who'll buy my cabbage,my carrots and tomatoes/ the best you've been into since you've been born" It's sort of suggestive. The lady who sings it has a rich, earthy voice...<br /><br />Sorry if you thought I was insulting you...<br /><br />Goat cheese, guacomole (mild), thin pizza, scones, berries, great fish and steak...boullabaisse, other wonderful soups....mashed-up almonds, but only on hot fudge sundaes, on vanilla bean ice cream. Orange-grapefruit juice (I spilled some in my keyboard the other day...funeral march.)

Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>So, Bill, since there is such an interest, is there a possibility of adding a 60s - 1980 B/S/T to that page? <br><br>Jimi

Posted By: <b>Dave Williams</b><p>The cool thing about the 60's, was all the oddball issues Topps put out.<br /><br />Tattoos, Giants, Supers, Scratch Offs, Deckles, Coins, 2 or 3 different each year.<br /><br />I also like the Kellogg's 3D issues.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Darren J Duet</b><p>TOPPS began with a BOOM whata great set- 1951 Connie Mack All-Stars and the boom 1952 Topps -- WOW. The decade was also loaded with top tier performers - Mantle, Mays, Williams, Aaron, and Spahn. Hell yeah, I collect the 50's stuff.
