How many team set collectors are out there?

Lots of checklists out there, but a great source is datasbyte.com with over 32,000 Cardinal cards listed conveniently by either player, year, or manufacturer. I don't even try to keep up with anything after 1990, but the quest for the old and unusual stuff without going broke is still a lot of fun.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to say thanks for this information. I didn't know that datasbyte.com existed. I am thinking of beginning collecting Cardinals team sets and having just registered, I can only say it is mind-boggling. I would love to fill some binders with some mid-grade examples of the 1950s Topps and Bowmans for starters. Wow!

I do cardinals.

im no where as intense about it as most of the people on this site, i just pick up here and there.

I have over 4500 different cardinals cards though.

i think my bulk of collection is 1985-2005, i have some 50s/60s, and about 35 70's cards

im super cheap so i dont buy alot

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 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
