What Post-War cards do Pre-War Devotees Collect?

drc · #1 12-23-2009, 12:00 PM

I'm a fan of the 1950s Armour Coins, 1970s-80s Kellogs 3-D cards and uncommonn odd ball issues.

56 Topps baseball and 55 Topps All American complete sets in "collector" grade, because these were the first cards I had ever seen. Also any Eddie Mathews (my favorite player) cards and photos. 1960 was the first year I really bought a lot of card packs. I remember, in about 1981, thinking of buying an ex/mt set of 1960 Topps for $350, but convinced myself that was too much money.

Player collections of Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson and Johnny Bench in PSA 7 or better, if possible

Player collections of Ozzie Smith, Ron Cey, Rickey Henderson and Kirby Puckett in PSA 9

Would love to afford to start on Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and Willie Mays, but we'll see.

that reminds me, I need to start on Hank Greenberg and Arky Vaughan too...

ugh, so much yet to do!

Since I collect everything pre-1950 I do have a few type cards from the later 40's...

I collect Phillies up to 1989.

I drool every time Leon posts that Lummis Peanut Butter (those are so difficult to find). I have been fortunate to own a few very tough type Phillies over the years including a Felins (tougher than Lummis but not by much) and a Father and Son shoes (also tougher than Lummis)...my wantlist is rather large still but contains mostly pre-war now (although there are quite a few tougher post war cards there as well).

Player sets of assorted prominent baseball players of the 1950's and 1960's. I just do the regular issues of each player. Collections of this type provide a nice historical overview of a player's career, as well as type card examples from each of the issues in which the player was included.

Watch out Joshua. I will have to post some really scarce Phillies stuff

. Also, did you notice the hole in Puddinhead's mouth? That's so he can breath.....What a place to tack something on a wall.

I did notice but did not want to mention the hole in your Willie!
