I'm so glad trends have shifted away from the "How much is his rookie card worth?" phase, and left collecting to real collectors - people like us, who love the game.<br /><br />2010 is my own 40th year actively collecting cards. "Topps Only" is my mantra. I have yet to complete a set prior to 1990, but have undertaken a year-long task to fill all the holes in my 1970 Topps set - the first one I ever started collecting. Wish me luck. (I already have #189 Yankees Rookies w/Munson and #660 Bench, so two of the big guns are already out of the way, as are most of the high numbers.)<br /><br />My favorite sets are 1957, 1961 and 1967, probably due to the largely unobstructed photographs of the players. (Since 1961 was the year of my birth, I may consider that set for next year's mission...)<br /><br />Hope you get to toddle over to my blog, called MeesterFonnyBlog. I deal largely with pop culture, but a few ball-card references are there. Hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Ken Kinsey-<br />Anderson, SC<br /><br />P.S. Noticed Pascual's 1967 portrait was reused for the 1970 set. Why not do a piece on reused portraits (Hank Aaron, George Culver, Jim Wynn, Earl Wilson, Gary Ross, etc.)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
