Posted By: <b>Ed</b><p>Hi,<br /><br />I’m sorry if this post isn’t 100% appropriate for this site (although with Ronald Reagan playing Grover Cleveland Alexander and Gary Cooper playing Lou Gehrig it might be). I’m curious – why do you think vintage film card collecting hasn’t caught on? <br /><br />Could it be because:<br />1)Actors/actresses haven’t been seen as heroic or idolized as ballplayers?<br />2)Many vintage film cards were manufactured internationally and not in the US?<br />3)No stats on the back?<br /><br />Again, I’m just curious. I’m starting to get into collecting vintage film cards (my vintage baseball collection seems to be at a standstill with just a few 1907-09 Cobbs) and also noticed a familiar vintage baseball ebay-er bidding on similar items as me so thought there might be some interest on this site to discuss.<br /><br />Now that I brought it up, please don’t outbid me on any James Stewart cards <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />All the best,<br />Ed<br />
