As for collecting the '62 set, it's filled with some the most beautiful and colorful images I've seen on any cards, and it's pretty easy and affordable to complete. I'd say the same for the '61 set.

I have always loved the Bell Brand cards mainly because of the colorful images like those that you mentioned. Someday perhaps, but for now I have other sets I need to finish. Perhaps you can show some of your favorite Bell brand cards.

"Perhaps you can show some of your favorite Bell Brand cards"

Here's a few more ... instead of trying to collect the sets, I just collect the players, and I have most of them. I simply can't justify owning three different cards of the same player, and there was very little roster turnover in those days. I've also included some Bell Brand Rams, which have the same great images and color.

I don't have any cards, but I have these posters. They weren't in the greatest shape when I got them, so I took them to an archival poster conservation place to stop the damage from continuing. I didn't want to "restore" them, because while some might prefer that, it's not really my style.

Each of them is 23 X 34 inches.

I had two of the Bell Brand posters back in the 1970s, one of Drysdale and the other of Hodges. I wish I still had them.
