Dodgers collector here. Never a shortage of those for vintage, but they seem to be less popular in present day collecting circles. Fine by me though. I prefer Brooklyn stuff and thankfully grabbed up a fair amount in the early ebay days, because now I don't want to pay the premium for the stuff I don't have.

Right on, Al! I look at Cardinals of the past hoping they can somehow help the current group hang on!

I bought a book last night called The Spirit of St. Louis: The History of the Cardinals and Browns. Can't wait to read it. I have a pretty good idea of how I am going to proceed with my Cardinal team set collecting, but I am thinking this book dealing with Cardinals history will help inspire me as well.

I would agree woth this. The Brooklyn premium is almost non-existent these days; it used to be a large fraction of the Yankees premium.

Easier(?) to do than most of the others. There are some tough issues out there. Luckily I had a very good starting, and quite nearly complete, collection.

I joined the datasbyte site for Cardinals collectors. I may build me a list of my collection on the site. Right now, I just have a spreadsheet. I can already see that some cards need to be added to the database. I will do that if I can find the time.

I think Randy (a Cardinals collector) needs to chime in on this.

Reviving a fun old thread to ask does anyone know if datasbyte is gone? I can't get the page to open. I never followed through with my Cardinals project but have circled back around to it. I would love to be able to get back on that site.

I am a Yankees fan and I stick to manily the 60s but do some 50 and 70s Topps, fleer, bowman, food and oddball issues. I would go back even further but of course depending on year and brand. I have my checklists all figured just need to buy

Condition wise mid to low grade but more low grade depending on player and set

I have almost the whole 1968 Topps Yankees team set only missing Mantle base, Mantle/Mays/Killebrew Super Stars and Steve Barber base

I also do graded and raw un graded

I'm currently working on a signed Boston Red Sox 1950-52 Bowman run. My favorite is the 1951s, so they've taken center stage while the other two are in a holding pattern for the time being. The two big-ticket ones I still need from that year are Steve O'Neil and Ted Williams.

I'm a Baltimore Orioles collector from 1954 to present. I've put together most of the team sets, along with many oddball issues, but collect more than just cards.

I really enjoy the Orioles team issued player postcards, team issued 8x10 photos, and programs (regular season, post season, spring training and exhibition games).

My current passion are programs/scorecards from all the Orioles minor league affiliates from 1954-2021. About 90% complete, but some really obscure 1950's programs still to find.

Mostly a set collector here, and it depends whether that is with or without variations. However I also have a few players I collect as well as more of an 'open ended' pursuit on pre-war cards.

I like the Heritage cards, but after the first year of Heritage I wasn't about to pursue a bunch of intentionally short printed cards to complete a set. So I resigned myself to collecting just the Giants cards for each year, which might have just a couple of SPs (to complete the 'base' team set), picking up any parallel or variations whenever without really 'pursuing' them (my 'open ended' approach). Doing a team set for the Heritage cards gives me a flavor of the product without the financial impact, which I can then use to focus more on vintage.

I just looked over my original post and it included my want list from back then. I have made some great progress as many of the want list has been filled. I certainly still need some of the more rare cards.

Here is what I have picked up since then from that list.

1955 Topps Hocus Focus - Wally Moon (maybe it wasn't impossible after all)

1967 Topps Discs - Orlando Cepeda

1968 Topps Plaks - Orlando Cepeda

1969 Topps 4-in-1 Stickers - Steve Huntz & Mike Torrez Rookie Stars (with Carl Yastrzemski)

1970 Topps Candy Lids - Richie Allen

1972 Topps Candy Lids - Lou Brock, Bob Gibson

1973 Topps Comics - Joe Torre

1990 Topps Folders / Sport Shots / Portfolio / Duo-Tang Pedro Guerrero

1997 Topps ProShooters Marbles Ron Gant

2001 Topps Retrofractors 146 Fernando Tatis

1967 Fleer Logo Emblems & Cloth Patches (tallboys; test) - Cardinals Logo Emblem (1966 w/l record; save all 19 cards), Cardinals Cloth Patch, Cardinals Trio Cloth Patch

1968-70 Fleer Cloth Patches - Cardinals (orange; blue bordered logo)

1969 Fleer Pennants & Stamps - Cardinals

1970 Fleer Iron Ons - Cardinals

1970 Fleer Team Logo Decals - Cardinals

1973 Fleer Team Logo Decals - Cardinals

1976 Fleer Iron Ons - Cardinals

That's been my progress since 2013, plus keeping up to date with modern (variations and SP's)

Why don't you collect all the way back to 1952 Topps?

I do, and even before...it's just what fits my budget. An EX 1952 Don Bollweg yes, an EX (or even P) 1951 Bowman Mantle not so much. For what its worth I've got Yankees cards that are harder to find than the Mantle rookies. All you need is money to buy Mantle rookies, I've got some that you just can't find that book 50 cents.

Just kidding. I understand what you mean. I remember searching for seven or eight years for a Cardinals card that was literally worth $3.
