My Top 10 Reason I like '50s BB Cards.... Care to add?

[Butch7999]

14. They feel like baseball cards, not like paper-thin glossy bits of ephemera that all seem like bonus inserts from a pack of real cards
15. They smell like baseball cards, the scent of the stick of awful gum still lingering on well-kept examples
16. Better typography -- easily legible bold lettering in the backside text, not microscopic 4-point fonts

and we'll say "hear hear" to 4 and 13 above -- frank, simple portraits and the occasional unembellished action shot,
not a psychedelic miasma of image-distorting swirls and swooshes and artificial colours
