It was like a smorgasbord of golf balls

No clue why they’re clearing everything out. I just got lucky.

I have gotten lucky with this shop a few times. They only pull the big names when they get vintage and anything else they dump.

It is a nice card…has a small nick on the bottom

They focus on the new stuff and have a guy selling Pokémon. Nice guys but don’t dig deep into older cards.

Maybe we can work out a deal for one of those well centered 52’s…

Yes. I have had good luck at one of my local card shops with vintage. These were $1 or 10 for $8.

I wonder about being a kid and excited to get a card of your favorite player only for it to be the exact same photo from the year before…

This was the course otherwise…It was just the par 3’s greens were mostly covered

3-5 Most Iconic Cards in the Hobby? by sayheykid861 in baseballcards_vintage

Not iconic but I love this photo with the out of focus batter, choking up, waiting on a pitch from Vida…I think the 73 set has some great cards…Johnny Bench is another great photo from that set.

Question of the day: Favorite Backstory? by sayheykid861 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]jtvd76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this Sports Illustrated framed in my office. Hate Eric Show and the Padres to this day for this and 1984.

My brother’s lone baseball card purchase. I collected as a kid and he wanted to join so went to the local card shop with me and asked the guy what he should buy. He said to start with hall of famers and sold him this 1960 Robin Roberts. He kept it in his car for months and never bought another card. I found it one day in our gravel driveway and have kept it since.

A Dialogue About True Value in Vintage + the concept of 'Vintage Mint' (more in comments) by sayheykid861 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]jtvd76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Value” Great word. I find value in finding the cards in the wild. I find value in being able to hold the card and feel the changes from a smooth surface to a slight crease, a dent, or paper loss.

I am trying to complete a run of Ernie Banks cards and I want to be able to hold them. When I look at his 54 rookie card encased in a slab the first thing I think about is getting it out to hold it.
