I remember Rob writing articles for SCD's dealer publication in the early-90's. It was clear to me that he had vision where the other dealers of the time, thousands of them, didn't. Most dealers...

I've been collecting over 40 years. Pretty sure I know how to grade my cards, and I'm positive that I don't care about the difference between a 9 and a 10. There has to be a quota where if someone...

I agree- there are millions of slabbed cards that aren't worth 10 cents. I collect cards, not slabs so it doesn't matter much to me. I only have a handful of graded cards, all vintage, because they...

The Tiffany's from the 80's are very popular. At the time they sold for $100 a set which was very high for a new issue then.

All the kids of the mid-80's who chased Mattingly and Gooden are adults...

Don't forget the blue and red versions, I think that was 2018? I collect Yankees and I have a respectable number of these in my collection (25-30). I get them when they are less than $1, usually in...

Donruss to me back then were "exotic." They weren't in every store, and I wasn't familiar with the company. Topps was Topps of course, and Fleer produced those sticker sets in previous years which...

It's a great question! When I was starting out "vintage" was commonly regarded as pre-1974, meaning the time when cards were issued in series. Personally that's my definition, but at the same time...

I remember the team checklist offers, the thing I noticed is the stock is white rather than the gray stock from the cards of that period.

The 6-pocket pages are designed for cards that are long and not wide, stuff like 1994 Fleer Extra Bases or 1971 Topps Greatest Moments.

4-pocket work for me for the 1976 MSA disks.

I'll go EX to EXMT for 50's and 60's, VG or better pre-war. Mostly raw unless I get a deal on a slab (which I promptly break out of the slab so I can display it in my binders).

Sometimes I'll...

I'm going to go with Jim Rowe postcard also. Bear in mind that he made these available for many years, so though the picture is from the early 60's, this card could have been printed in the 80's.

I've been trying to find the 1971 OPC high-numbers of the Yankees for a reasonable price for years in vain. The pre-1977 OPC are very tough in my opinion, especially in higher grade.

The hats are interesting- I've got a t-shirt somewhere (wish it still fit) from the 2010 Topps "Cards Your Mom Threw Out" promotion, it has a '52 Mantle on it. Got it from a Topps employee.
