Old Cards said...

Sad to see these guys go, but I will never tire of seeing them immortalized on their 60's cards. BTY, just looked on your post on 12-12-18 for the 10 year vets. Seeing all these 60's cards lined up brings me pleasure. So many of the blogs seem to focus on the 70's or even later. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks for posting the great 60's cards.

Thank you Bill.

As you can see from my sidebar, I have blogs for each set from 1965 to 1970, and also occasionally post to my 1963 blog.

Also football cards for '67, '68, '71, and '72.

That is the era of cards (and baseball itself, really) that interests me the most.
