Collecting on a Budget

Posted By: jay behrens

You can certainly collect vintage cards on a budget. My budget for cards is around $50. I kid you not. This means I have to do a lot of wheeling and dealing to be able to get more expensive cards, but that make collecting that much more fun. In the 80s I used to have an almost unlimited budget to buy whatever I wanted. I had a nice collection back then, but I find that collecting now is much more meaningful my second time around with a very ristrict budget.

As mentioned, the key is to stick to lower grade cards with good eye appeal and you build a very respectable collection that way.

I like to sit outside drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
