Hello, I'm new to the board

[Chuck9788]

Hello fellas. My name is Chuck. I was born in Vermont, high school on the New Jersey shore, college in Rhode Island and I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada for 20 years.

I saw the site from just browsing around.

Vintage baseball cards are the only items that I kept from my younger years. Over time I picked up some more.

Almost all of my cards are from years 1909-1979 and I only collect raw cards. I focus on HOF and quality semi star players.


I'd say my best cards are as follows :


1909 T-206 : John McGraw (portrait, no cap)
1909 T-206 : Joe Tinker (bat on shoulder)
1933 Goudey : Jimmie Foxx
1933 Goudey : Frankie Frisch
1934 Goudey : Mickey Cochrane
1934-36 Diamond Stars : Pie Traynor
1938 Goudey (Heads Up) : Charlie Gehringer
1939 Play Ball : Lefty Gomez
1939 Play Ball : Hank Greenberg
1939 Play Ball : Bill Dickey
1940 Play Ball : Connie Mack
1941 Play Ball : Mel Ott
1948 Bowman : Bob Feller
1949 Bowman : Roy Campanella (rookie)
1953 Topps : Satchel Paige
1954 Topps : Jackie Robinson
1958 Topps : Ted Williams
1962 Topps : Stan Musial
1962 Topps : Sandy Koufax
1964 Topps : Mickey Mantle
1965 Topps : Willie Mays
1966 Topps : Jim Palmer (rookie)
1967 Topps : Rod Carew (rookie)
1968 Topps : Johnny Bench (rookie)
1976 Topps : Hank Aaron (autographed, I met him in 1982)



I own many more vintage HOF cards, but those above stick out right now.



Anyway, It's REALLY cool to be here. I look forward to reading and sometimes posting in the future.
