Want to introduce myself to everyone. A few may know me from another site. Name is Mike and I've been collecting vintage Phillies for about 6 months although I've been in the hobby since the late 70's. Wish I still had those cards. Switched to vintage because I was tired of spending big money to complete mid-range current sets. All the autos, GU, and SPs were killing me and the quality is getting worse.
Mostly buying graded cards because I'm terrible at buying raw cards. Can't tell the difference between nm-mt and nm and can't tell if a card has been altered in any way. Have around 100 vintage Phiilies cards mostly from the 50's. Also have a HOF graded RC collection as a side project. Have around 15 of those with my oldest being a 1960 PSA 5 Yaz. I was referred to this site by a member who is also on the other site. Said I can get some helpfull info here. I have very limited resources as far as shows and LCS's go so I rely a lot on the Bay for my cards and sites like this for advice. Thanks for your time and I look forward to spending a lot of time here. Mike |

I'm new to the forum as well - and I am really enjoying all the photos and knowledge you guys share.
I just recently got back into the hobby and I am also focusing on HOF RC's. I can't really afford the highly graded ones, but luckily I just love having the cards - even if they are all beat up. I've got most of the hall of famers from the 60's to 80's covered - so this is when things get really interesting (and really expensive.) I've decided that before a certain year (maybe 1948) I will settle for any card from HOF players of those eras. This should save me from having to sell a kidney to buy a Lou Gehrig RC ![]() Is there a thread for general questions from newer collectors? I'd hate to start a thread for every question that pops into my head. |

Welcome, Mike. Hope you enjoy it.
"wealth of knowledge", sometimes I perceive it to be a bankruptcy of knowledge... sometimes some of us, including me, misbehave a bit, we get to whining and snapping at one another. When you see that, have patience. We'll be ok, so stay with us. |
