What Post-War cards do Pre-War Devotees Collect?

[cwazzy]

I collect mid-grade Roy Campanella cards w/ a focus on eye appeal (especially centering). You can see them all here. Here are a few of my favorites for the lazy.

I have several "post war" sets but these 3 sets are my favorite:

1955 Bowman, 1956 Topps, 1961 Topps. (Since I consider anything after 1919 postwar, I also have to include my DeLong set (not pictured).

Like my fellow sexagenarians (not what you're thinking, you dirty boys) Jacklitsch and T-Bob, I've collected cards that I once ripped from packs as a lad in the fifties. To date I have put together '53, '55 and '57 Topps sets in mid-grade condition. I also have '50 and '51 Bowman sets which pre-date the days when I was cognizant of baseball but which are really fine looking cards. My collecting focus is mostly pre-WW1 these days. I am not planning on putting together any other post-WW2 sets but I do occasionally like to pick up a nice "modern" card if the mood strikes.

David,
I'm looking forward to being a sexagenarian. Is that something that happens once all your kids move out of the house?

Nice to see so far that prewar collectors have not completely shunned their 1950s+ roots, if you will.

The 1949 Bowman Satchell Paige ! Also have a Hank Aaron run in PSA 8, sweet. And (don't laugh) 1985 Topps football - gorgeous with the black borders.

I'm a fan of the 1950s Armour Coins, 1970s-80s Kellogs 3-D cards and uncommonn odd ball issues.
