Vintage Pages
 
I created this page for my personal reference.  THESE ARE NOT FOR TRADE, although anyone is welcome to browse it.  Back in the 80s, I sold all the cards I bought and traded for as a kid.  The money went for a good cause, but I really miss them.  Knowing that I'd never be able to afford to put together a set of, say, 1959 Topps Baseball (my first year of buying a lot of cards), I decided to make an album with one page of players and one page of specialty cards (coaches, team cards, multi-player cards, etc.) for each year that I bought cards back then.  It's been a lot of fun, and sure brings back memories of having a mouth full of bubble gum, wearing my right-handed Sandy Koufax mitt, and playing outfield and first base with the kids in my neighborhood, at our country school.  And buying a couple of packs of cards after the game, of course!
 
These are the cards I have so far.  If anyone has a vintage card from these years they'd like to trade, I will see if I can find something to seal the deal.
