The History of Flipping

Flipping baseball cards on a summer day. The boys in my neighborhood did this when we were kids. The girls just watched and never actually did it. Do you remember the rules?

Then, of course, there was the attempt of turning a flipper into a fish for the movies and the tube.

Ultimately though the girls got into flipping and the boys forgot about flipping cards with the onset of what I like to call the "hormone" years following these flippers.

Flipping baseball cards has made a comeback though. In fact it's become an industry. Actually several industries:

A New Field of Lucrative Medicine : Card Doctors

A New Field of Registered Opinions : Third Party Graders

A New Field of New Age Gambling : BGF (Buy, Grade & Flip)

A New Field of Elite Marketing : The Auction House Buyer's Premium

A New Field of Casinos : The National Card Show

Enjoy your show

I still have my field of dreams.

I guess I'm just a vintage guy.
