I remember those days well. We all recognized condition, but it wasn't that important; just having the card was the thing. My 53 Bowman Mantle that I had in the late 70s had a number written on the back, but I didn't care- I had a Bowman Mantle! When I see the group that collects pre 1920 vintage cards, it's interesting to see that the card trumps the condition. I know that's due to the scarcity, but even among post WW2 card collectors, it's also great to see that a card doesn't need to be an investment-portfolio item to be enjoyed.
