Matt, I do like college football! The other sets you mentioned will probably be a target of mine sooner or later. Seeing the '55 Topps All Americans that some of you guys have shared really makes me want them. It is shocking how affordable most of vintage football is compared to baseball. Even if football prices edged up, they still have a long way to go to cease being really affordable. I will still do a little with some baseball, but the prices on the vgex-EXMT stuff I buy are so static that I feel like I could come back to baseball in a year or two and not much would have changed. So, why not go off and have a little more affordable set building fun in football?
Jeff, I figure I will start off with '64 Philadelphia...there is something about that set that really interests me. It is somewhat plain, but I like it. Like I was telling Matt, '55 Topps AA might not be too far behind. I have also noticed several other Topps sets i like. I am not a high roller, this is something that is just fun for me. I work cards in while taking care of the family, paying the mortgage, etc. Most of my stars will be graded and commons ungraded. I imagine most 60s sets would be ex to nm. When backing up into the 50s, I could live with vgex or even crease free vg.
You guys just keep on posting and providing that motivation!
