Rob FouchI started working on the 1955 Bowman set about a month ago. Just love how the set looks and the cards are pretty affordable in decent grade.
I'm a huge football fan, maybe even a little more than baseball. (That's blasphemy, I know, on this board. But being a Cubs fan will do that to a guy. Still love baseball and get obsessed with it whenever the Cubs are contenders.)
But for some reason, I like vintage baseball cards more than vintage football stuff. Longer history, I guess. More cards available.
I don't know much about early football cards and memorabilia. Have the prices exploded as they've done in baseball?
I do some dealing here and there in both baseball and football cards (50s and 60s primarily) and have found that football doesn't sell nearly as well.
