Vintage Cards

I am collecting any vintage cards especially from these Topps Set.

1962, 1967, 1971, 1974, 1975

I don't really have many cards from any of these sets so chances are I need them.

I am also collecting the 1959 set. My need list for 1959 Topps is here.

For these vintage cards I generally don't care about condition.

one stinkin' met, No Phils, not even any ex-phils. The Short Print is a pretty good one in Frank Thomas - it would have been cute had Topps given Frank the same card as the original Frank Thomas (#490). Lots of Home Runs in this pack - If I am not mistaken there are 1900 of them in an 8 card pack that includes a relief pitcher and some kid that wasn't even born till 1985. Jeff Kent has 365 of them and he ranks 3rd in the Pack.

Its a fun first pack of the year. look forward to getting a box of this eventually. This pack went for $3.17 (including Tax) at a KB Toy Store. Gift to myself for spending a day w/ my GF while she went shopping.

And it is the first Heritage pack that I have used to contribute to my 1959 Topps/2008 Heritage Virtual Set, where I am trying to collect the lower 506 cards using either a 1959 card or a 2008 Heritage card. Five of the eight cards happened to make the cut, and the Frank Thomas has maded it into the book because I have the original '59 card (Banks Highlight) in a toploader for display.

Reflections - The Jumbo Box contained all 330 base cards which was the basic goal as this is the first set that I have ever completed. I opened one pack each day or couple of days depending on my schedule and compared my packs with other backs being ripped various places on-line. The whole experience was interesting and enjoyable. I was hoping for a little more out of the box - The Mark Ellis Auto is probably in the bottom 3rd of the Autos, and I am not sure what to make of the Commemorative Patch Relic - doesn't seem like much of a "Relic" to me. This box didn't come up with either of the two oddball cards (Guiliani or Uzuki)

The current plan is to work on completing the Trading Card History, All-Star Rookie, and Year in Review Sets. The presidential candidates are a lower priority. I would also like to try and pick-up original cards that match the TCH set. Doubtful the more expensive ones will find their way into my collection, but finding matches for half the set seems a manageable goal.

For Series 2 I plan on getting the smaller hobby box and comparing my results. Meanwhile I would like to gather results of other box breaks that appear elsewhere.
