Hi all! New Member and relatively new vintage collector here!
 

Hey all! Im Seth. I'm 17 and a senior in high school who recently got into vintage. I have picked up a few things but I am especially looking to put together a nice Zack Wheat collection. Here are the 3 measly cards I have compared to some of the incredible collections I have seen around here already!

And if you have any Wheat or Brooklyn tobacco let me know!

TO ALL! - Thanks guys! I have been collecting since I was little- its just that I got into vintage now.

I have plenty of memorabilia and modern cards too! I am trying now to just focus on the memorabilia and vintage, along with prospect L.J. Hoes.

Welcome to the forum! Wheat's T205 is one of my favorite cards aesthetically and yours is great example of it. Who cares that the card graded a 1, the front is spectacular.

Hey Seth, Im an armpit collector as well. By the looks of things, you've made a good start. As you become more "advanced", don't forget your ghetto roots :) Steve F

I wish I would have started collecting pre-war/vintage at age 17. Oh, what could have been.

Welscome Seth, you are going to do very well
 

judging by your eye for image quality. A superb selection for color and registration. Good luck with your collecting

Thanks guys! Jason, what do you mean by registration? I really like the Wheat despite the back too Matt. The front is incredible in my opinion!

Hi Seth
Welcome aboard!! "Registration" refers to how clear the picture on the card is. best regards

Welcome aboard, Seth... The registration of the card is a reference to the focus of the card. If all of the colors fall on the card properly, then the card will have good registration. If one or more colors are displaced from where they should be, the card will appear blurry and out of focus. Perhaps someone can show an example.

Hi Seth- welcome to the board. It's always good to start collecting when you are young. Stick with it!

Thanks guys! I have been collecting since I was little- its just that I got into vintage now.

I have plenty of memorabilia and modern cards too! I am trying now to just focus on the memorabilia and vintage, along with prospect L.J. Hoes.

Hi Seth

This is probably the best time to start collecting Pre-War cards due to the economy being slow which in turn reflects on card value.

I’m sure you won’t have any trouble finding cards; you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the forum!!!

Thanks! I hope to find some nice ones pretty quickly! I'm saving up for a big one right now too!

Welcome. Nice start. Very nice wheat by the way. I am a big t205 collector. Looks like you got bit by the bug. Hope you can controll your urges. They can cost you $ real quick.

Welcome to the community and enjoy collecting. You look to be off to a great start, beautiful cards.

Hi Seth, This would be an example of a card that is slightly off register... notice the magenta color (hairline) is not exactly where it should be.

But this is a very rare card, so.......... :)

Very interesting, I really appreciate the example! Congrats on owning it! (I assume that it is yours :P )

Welcome to vintage cards what a great start you got off to. Good luck on your next purchase !

Thanks! I am looking to add some nice Zack Wheat cards!! :D

As you tackle the Monster over the years,

Don't listen to it.
