How cool was it just cruising through the entire photo album, looking at all the wonderment?? Awesome. There are two things that jumped out at me regarding how imperfect the world of vintage baseball cards is/was. So often when you flipped a page and a wonderful HOF'er 'finally' appeared, the card was way off-centered. I mean, that's real life right there!! And it's funny how the card numbers in many years (like 1959 and 1961) ended before reaching the high series. So many people talk about how when they were kids collecting cards, they never saw or bought any high number packs. Again, real life on display!!
(Whoops! None of this was meant in any way to cast aspersions on the albums. They are just some musings, and I would freakin' love to own that collection!!!)
