Even though we weren't there, it's still the history of the game you can hold right in your hands. The card, through the image the player left behind for just an instant of his playing life, connects you to him, and takes you right back to the time, for all of us with that last little bit of kid remaining deep inside. I take out my 1907 Dietsche Batting and Fielding Cobbs, and can almost see that old rascal lining an outside fastball to the opposite field in left for a double, and making a great running catch! Now if only the wife understood and appreciated what that meant to a baseball lover!
As always, best to all in your collecting. Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 04-27-2011 at 05:46 AM. |

This is precisely why I believe there is going to be a huge dip in market values for cards from the 50s and 60s as the generation with the strongest attachment to those players continues to age.
