"Wasting?" Nah, seems like a great use of albums and sheets. That stuff has a lot of hobby history. The best part is that you can't just go on ebay and build a collection when you want. It takes persistence and a lot of hobby knowledge.

I've got a lot of TCMA in my Yankees collection. Just picked up some TCMA "The War Years" Yankees (1977). Guys that had their time in the sun while filling in for superstars at war. TCMA is a big part of the early history of this hobby, very much ahead of their time. First to create cards of vintage players, first to create minor league cards on any kind of scale.

Jim Rowe kept the George Brace postcards alive for decades. People forget all these little niches in the hobby in the 1970's and 1980's.
