Post War Must Haves........

Many good responses here in the thread.
Some I knew (in the back of my mind) and others I never really contemplated.


One more card that seems popular with collectors in this timeframe.......


-1953 Bowman Peewee Reese -


I was just looking on the bay, and there is a PSA 9 of this one, for a mere price of $27,500 O.B.O.

While I admit it would be nice to have this one, I think I would utilize 27k on a few more iconic cards honestly.

Good stuff.

52 Topps Mantle is Obviously the Grail for me. I'm trying to finish my Mantle Career project, it's something that'll take years for sure, to build up the money and acquire the cards I want. Outside of that there's a couple I have my eye on.

I love 53 Topps Satchel Paige. It's a pretty nice card, and I've always been fascinated by the Negro Leagues. It's also nowhere near as pricey as his rookie. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams from the 48 Leaf set are also cards that have always had my eye.

While I know a lot of collectors really like the 53 Bowman Reese, I've never liked it myself. Not even a little bit. I completely agree that 27k could be spent much better than on that card.

Right. Think of all the big additions you could make to a modest collection with 27k. You could literally pick up a half dozen T206 stars if you were so inclined or a '51 Bowman Mantle (plus other key cards) or a '52 Topps Mantle if that is what you were looking to do.




Another card came to me, and although I don't own one yet, I will be picking up one in short order.
We all know there is only one true home run king and his name is HANK AARON.

I think the '74 #1 Hank Aaron ALL-TIME HOME RUN KING is also a very under appreciated card.
There are an absolute ton of them around, but you don't see that many in PSA 8+.
Is it the most valuable? No, but it marks one of the most historic events in all of baseball.

Gotta snag me one of those soon.

Must have post-war ? For me only one really - 1949 Bowman Satchell Paige. Picked it up years ago from REA in PSA 8 for around 2500. Heck, I even have that photo in my office framed - love it, love it, love it! All those rookies everyone is so keen on -I passed and put the money into HOFer T206's instead.
