Thanks guys! I used to collect everything, but now am starting just to collect Indians and Lions, along with vintage, although I JUST started vintage. I think I will build some sets to go with my modern sports card collection. Any ideas on good designs from the 60s? Preferably something relativity cheap.

Maybe concentrate on some of the Indians great teams of the past....1954....1948...even 1920. Try to complete a 1954 Bowman or Topps Indians team set. That team didn't win the World Series, but it was one of the best regular season teams of all time. 1948 Bowman won't help you much in terms of a "team set" for the Indians unfortunately (likely just 2 or 3 of the 48 card set will be Indians)...maybe you can try to find cards of the players from that team?
The real challenge would be going way back and finding cards of players from the champion 1920 Indians team. They are out there, and some examples such as Exhibit cards or strip cards would be rather inexpensive. Great way to introduce yourself to pre-war cards as well. Above all, whatever you do, have fun with it. Tom C Last edited by btcarfagno; 01-18-2017 at 01:25 PM. |

Glad to hear your passion for the hobby!
I think you're being wise beyond your years by having specialized goals for the beginning of your collection. Feel free to ask any question at any time. Those of us who know will respond and those of us who don't may connect you with someone who does. What should we call you? Good Luck, -Raymond

Low grade cards are cool. Collectors concerned with collecting perfect grade cards have something wrong with them.

Just my $.02
Might want to check into the 1960 and 1961 Fleer baseball greats. Smaller sized sets and loaded with HOF players. Most cards are not crazy expensive and you can pick up some nice examples for a fraction of what their original playing days cards would cost. Good Luck and Welcome, the folks here are very knowledgeable, and if you do nothing than but just read posts you will enjoy this site very very much. |
