iM eddie ortiz i haven't collected cards in years but recently working from home has had me going on ebay ...i acquired two sets that are probably not known ..
1961 Golden Press Hall of Fame Baseball Including Babe Ruth 33 Card Complete Set and the 1980 hall of fame exhibits reprints from 1980 ..I acquired them for their looks not for investment per say ..if anyone has heard of them please reply thanks

Welcome Eddie. The Golden Press cards originally came in a book and were perforated to be removed. You can still find some of the books for sale if you look for them. Neat set of some great players. Many post war collectors work on that set as an oddball issue.

Welcome Eddie!

Welcome!


1961 Golden Press cards are neat.

I remember my son buying a Ruth for a buck or two while at a cards show with me probably 15 years ago, He was probably about 12.

The prices on these cards, like all cards it seems lately, have gone insane.

Hi there and welcome. Y es I remember the 1961 Golden Press cards. I still have a Lou Gehrig and a Ty Cobb from my youth. I think I would have gotten them around 1966 or so.....1967? Probably my only cards saved from as a kid.
Happy Collecting!
Bob

Welcome Eddie. I love the Golden Press set...only wish Ted Williams had been included, since he had retired the previous year.

I have a loose set and the full book...great! Early Colorization done well IMO

thanks for replies

Welcome to the board.

If you like the 1980 hall of fame exhibits reprints, maybe you want to try the 1948 Exhibit HOF set. To too expensive (besides the Ruths) especially if you go lower grade.

1960/61 Fleers may also be a nice set to try

Good luck

Bob

Welcome. I wish I still had my Golden Press book. Sold it probably 20 years ago.

Enjoy the variety here.

Welcome to the forum, friend! Enjoy your stay....

and a fave 50s card I got as a present from the OBC guys....
