Obvious to those of us of a certain age, but just in case some of the younger folks out there don’t know this, the reason why the first and last cards of some of the older sets were more difficult to find in better condition is that many kids in the 50’s and 60’s would, while trying to collect an entire set, put their cards in numerical order and then put a rubber band around them which would affect the top and bottom cards the most!

Frank Robinson was one of the first HOF rookies I sought out when I started getting back into vintage. His cards have been criminally undervalued for years. The 57 set was also a landmark release, as it was the first set to feature the standard card dimensions we know today. Also love seeing Yogi. I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan, but he's always been the one Yankee with a special place in my heart. My high school physics teacher used to read us one of his quotes every day at the start of class. I'm happy to have recently added his 48 Bowman rookie to my collection. Can't wait for you to cover the 40's era on your channel!

Robinson and Killebrew also are really undervalued as are many others from the 1950's when compared to modern. Mays is my favorite player and I have very Mays Topps PSA 6 or better and always liked hi 1953 Topps the best, but never got his rookie because I never liked Bowman cards. What a mistake that was from a money standpoint, but I just have no interest in Bowman. A quick sidenote is that Stan Musial has no cards on this list because he wasn't on a Topps card until 1958 due to a contract issue with Topps

Just a slight correction, the Baseball Hall of Fame did wave the 5 year period for Roberto Clemente after his tragic death, but he is not the only player to revive such an honor. Lou Gehrig also had the period waved, and was elected to the Hall in 1939 the same year he retired! Gehrig tragically would pass away just two years later from his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) which was relatively unknown at the time and was commonly called “paralysis.” Not sure it matters but wanted to throw that in! Keep up the good work!

The reason he started late playing professional baseball was because he attended college and military service before embarking on his professional baseball career. Minnie Minoso spent a few years in the Negro Leagues and was the starting 3rd basement on their All Star game, and came up to professional baseball around the same time as Jackie Robinson, but Cleveland kept him in the minors even though he was batting above .500.

I started collecting in 1969 when I was 7 and I completed the ‘70 and ‘71 set, all but missing Yaz in ‘70 & Von Joshua in ‘71. I did anything I could do to make money at that age and EVERY penny went towards baseball cards. By the time I was 14 I was done with baseball cards & moved on to collecting beer cans. I had an offer from a neighbor (his dad) to trade all my cards to them for an endless amount of Sport magazines. I almost took the deal for my 3500+ cards but thank god I didn’t take it. They ended up giving me all the magazines anyway. I had one of my walls covered with baseball cards with no space between them, so the photos from the magazines filled the other 3 walls. I ended up slowly giving all my cards away to neighborhood kids but they had to listen to my baseball stories. Thank god it went to those kids and not the “friend’s” father… The cards were not kept well so most of them were in maybe Good+ condition. I started collecting again in 1985 but slowed after getting married and having kids. Started again about mid 2020. I could go on forever… Thank you for your channel. It’s by far my favorite on KZbin.

All of Minoso's 1950s cards have had a meteoric rise the last year. Finally in the Hall of Fame, one of the great players of the era! Can anyone guess his last regular issue card during his playing career? 1977 Record-Breaker card as the oldest player to get a hit (a publicity stunt, but a cool achievement).

I have no idea but if I was back home in New York I would be able to check. I have 4 of his cards plus autograph baseball.

Could somebody please offer me a bit of advice? My Papa was born in 1952 and he said that he used to love and collect Baseball cards when he was a kid but that they all got thrown away. I would love to surprise him this Christmas and try to get him some of his childhood back. I am not sure which year or brand to go with and reading reviews on eBay seems that many people get one over of them. I have been trying to read and watch KZbin movies like this to educate myself to make a more informed decision but I still feel at a loss. Could someone please direct me as to how I should move forward in trying to make this Christmas special for my Papa ❤

Well if he was born in 1952 he would have been 8 yrs old in 1960 , so I would think baseball cards from 1960 to 1970 would encapsulate his childhood and teenage yrs and he would most likely be familiar with players from the mid 60's ..........................Erik

My guess is all of the people that own #10 rated Sandy Koufax cards are in their 60s or older. Because if you ever saw him play you would never sell that card....maybe if an heir inherits some of them might show up at auction😂

I'm selling many of my cards and using the money to buy 1960s and older cards. I'm getting more into collecting again and less of investing. I'm like why do I have all these $100 cards when I can sell them and get one nice iconic for several thousand. Also way less time to list one card for resale then 20 or 30

Anyone know why 1960s commons are so cheap now? I get them for under $1 in great condition to complete sets
@blueodum2 жыл бұрын
Seems curious to me too, as the print runs before the mid-60s were not that high. My guess is that lots of elderly set collectors (or their heirs) have decided to put their sets into the market.

Here’s a fun piece of list inspired trivia. What small Minnesota town is the birthplace of a former MLB home run record holder, an NBA hall of famer, and the boyhood home of a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and a Nobel Prize winner?

Hibbing, MN Birthplace of Roger Maris (HR record), Kevin McHale (NBA HOF), and boyhood home of Bob Dylan (Rock & Roll HOF and Nobel Prize). Also the birthplace of Greyhound Bus Line. Lots of star power for a little town in the middle of nowhere.

Hey Chris, I would love if you could do a comparison of Baseball to Football from the same era. I own quite a bit of vintage football and the amount of legends/HOFers you can get for much lower even in mid grades is amazing. Not about pumping the market, but just as a comparative study.

Great idea and so true. Vintage football is a bargain comparatively
