I really enjoy trading and interacting with the good people of this community. However Imy sale/trade collection is still disorganized and I have thousands of cards to enter in both collection and S/T, so I have decided to take the summer off from active trading.
As one of the lucky ones whose Mom did NOT throw away my childhood card collection, when I started back interested in the hobby in the early 1980s, I had a lot of late 50's early 60s cards to work with. Completed my 1961 card set, except for the hard-to-define, yet alone find, errors and variations. Working on 1959, 1960 and 1963 Topps sets although cost is a deterrent for many of the cards I'm missing! Trying to complete the inserts of 1961: Stamps, rub-offs, and World Series pennants. Working to complete1955 Topps All-American, 1955 Bowman and 1957 football sets.
Favorite Players to collect: Hank Aaron (trying for top 10 list), Mike Schmidt, Richie Ashburn
Favorite Teams: 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers especially the 1955 World Series team. Milwaukee Braves especially 1957 WS team, but trying to get "something" from everyone who played for the Milwaukee version of the Braves. Philadelphia Phillies of Vet era especially (looking for "something" from anyone who actually played at the Vet for the Phils). Also collecting pre-andpost Vet Phils rather randomly.
Highest priority modern era set to complete: 1992 Fleer without worrying about versions (can't see the dots anyway!) Other partial sets are low priority even if on Want List.
