• Any Dave Kingman at-bat was the most exciting thing ever for a fan.
• The 1967 Topps Mickey Mantle is a great portrait. • Any card/picture of Hughie Jennings showing his mouth wide open, hands flying all over the place and once again shouting, "Ee-Yah!" is a complete annoyance. You were exuberant. We get it!!! • Jeff Kent unquestionably should've been a first-ballot Hall of Famer. • The 1973 Topps Willie Davis card, showing him getting plinked, is the greatest piece of cardboard in history!!

I LOVE that the 56 Topps set is packed with a combo of HOFers: Mick, Jackie, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Williams, and on, and on...Plus Jackie's last card and Mick's triple crown year, depicting an amazing catch and the absolute most joyous smile ever.

Grading has ruined the hobby.

48 Leaf/49 Bowman Jackies are some ugly ass cards. The 52 Topps Jackie is fine art.

I like trimmed cards. I bust everything I buy out of the slab it came in. I ignore the constant advice to focus my collection. Instead, I collect just about anything that's vintage, related to baseball and looks cool. I believe Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente and 1952 Topps cards are overrated. And I'm puzzled why people take the Hall of Fame so seriously.

To steal another member's line, A is for Awesome! Especially when they can be had for beat up PSA/SGC 1 prices. Personally having zero faith in any TPG's ability to detect more carefully performed trimming / alterations makes this an easy bridge for me to cross.

-1953 Bowman color is the most attractive set
-1933 Goudey Ruth 149 is the better of the 4 -1952 Bowman’s Mantle and Mays both are far better looking than 1951/2 examples -1952-54 Topps are not my favorites -T206 Cobb red portrait is nicer looking than the green -T205 set is underrated -Any vintage card high grade is an asset -Todays prices are absurd

-1955 Topps is the greatest Postwar Set ever produced and (Per Al)
-1952 Topps is an overrated set (Dont care if I never own the Mantle) -Grading has been a huge benefit to the hobby -Modern collectors and investors are all collectors, there's room for all of us and go..........

I buy tobacco cards for the player on the front. The advertising on the back means absolutely nothing to me. I suppose that the different backs are interesting to some, but when I look at a card my first thought is not Piedmont or Uzit? Who cares?
