Default There's No CardBoard Like Old Cardboard

Posted By: boxingcardman

I've always enjoyed players' last cards because of the statistical pile-ups on the backs. Besides the 1976 Aaron, my other favorites are the 1969 Mantle and the 1973 Clemente.

I think as people of my generation start reaching middle age and start getting nostalgic for their childhoods they will start collecting cards from the early 1970s more and more. I know I've spent some time lately trying to fill out and upgrade my cards from those sets, strictly because I realized that the cards were 30-40 years old and make me smile when I go through them. Plus, nice ones are so friggin' cheap lately that it is almost pain-free to go after them.
