+1 . I think those places for pre-war are mainly the places for post war too. Depending on location, local shows can have some post war too....

And welcome to the forum, Indy Tim. Happy collecting!!

I don't collect much past the 1920's, so I can't give you much on the sets you collect, but I know guys here know. Have fun, and happy collecting.

The local/regional card show and National are still absolutely relevant today too. Especially if your short term goal is working on that 1958 set. Nothing like holding that card in hand before you purchase.

Card shows, ebay, Net 54 BST, Dave & Adams (for newer), Baseball Card Exchange (vintage unopened). I think all my purchases the past couple of years have been these sources.

Welcome back and happy hunting.

Welcome! I loved TeleTrade too, bought way to much back then. A need list on the BST is a great place to continue. Good luck with your '58 set, one of my favorites ever.

Local card shows-- there's a good one here in the Seattle area-- and perhaps trying to find some local collectors. But eBay is the age old source.

As there are a lot of fakes and reprints on ebay, it's good to gather a list of reliable sellers.

Lastly but not leastly, the B/S/T section here on Net54. You can put out want lists.

People complain about the internet, but if you know what you're doing it's a great way to get cards. Opened up the market to the world.

P.s. I think collecting ungraded cards is great.
