I collect boxing cards, 1965-66 James Bond cards, 1976 Star Trek cards, Exhibit cards of entertainers I like, and entertainment autographed cards from shows and movies I like. What about you--'fess up. |

I enjoy holding and studying tobacco cards, but the appeal of owning any particular card wears off fairly quickly - mainly because they were mass-produced and can be re-obtained easily in most cases. |

some of which I lose interest in completely (chess cards: glad a have some, but never get any new ones any more), and some are still ongoing (hockey--some of the most beautiful cards I have). Some are just a few people who really caught my interest (basketball: Barry and Walton rookies, Magic second-year card), football (Ollie Matson rookie, that black quarterback who threw about 50 touchdowns for Washington in a Superbowl, Plunkett (parents were blind, and not only a talented but really sweet guy).2 of Abe Attell's boxing cards (T218, Leaf 1948). |

As longtime people on the list know, I used to have a fairly substantial collection of pre WW1 cards featuring American Indian Chiefs. I still have all my large Allen & Ginter cards. Easily the most beautiful of all the sets I collected. I see a few names from this board bidding on Indians lately, so it seems I've rubbed off on a few of you |

I really want to start a non-sports card set or two, but am in the dark as to set difficulty and pricing. I'd appreciate being pointed to good resources on these topics. |

It is easy enough to find these in high grade, and at reasonable prices. I collect the t218 runners and most of mine or EXMT, I got all from ebay, and never paid more than $9 each, which I have since learned is a bit high. |

I've been putting together a set of 1951 Bowman Jets, Rockets, & Spacemen cards for the past several months. (I've got 105 of the 108 cards and am hoping to complete the set at a local card convention this weekend.) |

I've been slowly putting together a set of the Goudey Sky Birds cards from the early 30's. All I'm missing are a bunch of the tough high numbers. |

I have a fairly extensive collection of high grade card of the 1950's Brooklyn Dodgers, hence the reason for the Dodgers theme on my web site that has nothing to do with the era of the inventory listed. |

I've considered going after the G-Men set from the 30s. I never pursued the Goudey Indian cards. The artwork is so subpar compared to the baseball cards. I've also tinkered with the idea of the a complete set of The Monkees cards, as that was one of favorite TV shows as a kid. Now if Rhino would just package the DVDs in something generic rather then those cute 'collector' boxes so that I could but each season for $30-40 rather than $60-70. |

I love those. Brings back memories of summer camp in 1974-75, when they were all the rage. I've still got two of the die cuts from the 1st issue that I found in a lot of cards I received many years ago. Two of the dog food cards. Always brings out a smile when I see them. I also love the "Run Tony" shells and the "Chuck Wagon" parody card. I understand that PO'd manufacturers caused some real scarcities in the set. |

great art (and one story) from 1975. He wrote an illustrated my favorite collecting story, "That's Life," about the recording, distribution, abandonment--and collecting of a phonograph record. Arcade #3, Fall, 1975. CHECK IT OUT!!! |

I loved those things as a kid. My school folders were always covered with them. That's a set of card I wouldn't mind owning. There were so funny. The Rat Fink cards from that era were great. I also a remember a set of 'monster' basbeall cards thatI think was done by the same artist. |
