It would be a fun endeavor. <br /><br />I don't know that I was promoting set collecting in my email to you, but rather dabbling in some type cards, just to get a feel for what you might be interested in. But set building is fine, too.<br /><br />To me vintage does mean early cards, but I'd still call my 1971 Topps vintage. If one gets too much higher in that decade I'd start to slowly shake my head. But that's just me.<br /><br />Chin up. Pip, pip.

Right now I'm just doing the Phillies team sets and thats taken up a lot of time and resources. I want to cycle back when I finish that and either go after the 1954 or 1956 topps sets. Love the design of both. I am not a stickler on condition, the only requirement I would have is the whole card has to be there. If bowman works for you, build it! I have a couple bowman sets that I enjoyed building, I'll have to check out the players in a few years and see who makes it!Brad's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419538627966164145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-67048151577345707472014-05-07T14:39:45.744-07:002014-05-07T14:39:45.744-07:00Now that's a worthy goal.
BYW, Thurman Tucker...Now that's a worthy goal.<br /><br />BYW, Thurman Tucker looks a LOT like the depression-era film comic Joe E. Brown, who made a trilogy of baseball comedies in the '30s.

With the exception of a few I've shelled out about $6 per card in VG/EX condition. Love the set by the way. Reds Card Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585514220481200292noreply@blogger.com
