New Member from Southern California

Hi Everyone! I just joined the forums, though I've been lurking for a few months and really enjoying the threads.

My only pre-war focus is the Diamond Stars set and some of the African American players that never made it to the major leagues. Not very impressive, I know. The majority of my collection is post-war.

I collect Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, and Yogi Berra cards from the 50s and early 60s and build some sets from the early '70-73 (baseball, basketball, and football), cards I remember fondly from childhood.

All the Best!

PS: Posting from Orange County, CA.

Rppc....

Welcome to the fray, Frankish.
I doubt any of these guys made the majors...It was long before MLB segregation ended.

Welcome. Any collection is impressive, even if it's a baby. We all started small at one point.

Sounds like you're focusing on some very respectable players/groups. Welcome!

Leon, that's a great picture. Wish I had the knowledge to identify anyone....

Welcome, you will find there are several big Clemente collectors on here. There is a running thread on the postwar board. You should check it out.

Welcome from the Southeast portion of Los Angeles County! I live about 3 blocks outside of Orange County. I came here looking for 53 Bowmans, still am, but I've come across some entertaining discussions and have seen cards that I never knew that existed. I hope you'll find lots on this site and to be able to share what you have with the rest of the membership.
