I'm glad I'm a vintage collector-Interesting article about hobby

Posted By: jay behrens

I remeber back in the 80s, I think it was ProSet, talked about a "living set". The idea was that you started with your basic set. During the course of the year, as players got hurt and replaced, you pulled their cards from the set and replaced them with the guys that took their roster spot. Talk about the ultimate chase cards. Doing something like this would force people to buy cards all year long if they want to complete a set and would create some serious short prints. People chasing rookie cards would also be buying cards all year long in hopes of snagging those short printed rookies in hopes that they blossom into stars.

It's the perfect way to maintain interest in your set without manufactured rarities. Your shortprints become your chase cards, just like the good old days.

My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.
