The real challenge would be going way back and finding cards of players from the champion 1920 Indians team. They are out there, and some examples such as Exhibit cards or strip cards would be rather inexpensive. Great way to introduce yourself to pre-war cards as well.

Above all, whatever you do, have fun with it.

I may channel my inner Jobu, and get a card from each player from the 1948 World Series team. That should break the Indians curse, right?

I think you're being wise beyond your years by having specialized goals for the beginning of your collection.

Feel free to ask any question at any time. Those of us who know will respond and those of us who don't may connect you with someone who does.

What should we call you?


Good Luck,

A mid-grade Bobby Layne from the 1957 Topps set might be a wonderful place to look if you're interested in football. Relatively affordable and a great looking card.

Thanks guys! I hope to add a bunch of random Lions, that sounds like a nice one. Where do you guys get your cards? My thing with eBay is you always don't know condition. Is that why most of you buy graded?
