Uncle Joe Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 @TakeYouToTasker 2.0 Well you are a Taskermaker! Anyway per your request I went through the baseball cards that I have in my binder. It was more like 4 dozen. Then I went through my old Stuart Holmes shoebox and found quite a few more that I should put in notebook binders because it is a PIA to find anything. I believe in my infinite wisdom I have most of those sorted by teams. Lol, I even have a bunch of no name Seattle Pilot's player. That being said these are just cards that survived from my youth i.e. weren't clickers in the bicycle spokes. So I'll start with my outfield that is in the binder already. Team name is the one on the card. OF Stan Musial ST. L. Cardinals OF Bob Clemente Pirates OF Lou Brock Cardinals OF Mickey Mantle Yankees OF Carl Yastryemski Red Sox OF Reggie Jackson Athletics OF Willie Mays Giants OF Hank Aaron Braves OF Billy Williams Cubs OF Roger Maris Cards OF Tony Oliva Twins OF Jim Wynn Houston OF Frank Robison Orioles OF Curt Flood Phillies 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a great list! Thank you for sharing! You may discover, as I did several years ago, that going through your cards can rekindle a passion for collecting them. I grew up collecting cards in the 1980’s and stopped in 1993 at 16 when my scant resources got redirected at beer and girls. I went off to college, moved cross country, and hadn’t given my cards a thought again until my 30’s, after having moved back East, when my parents house flooded, and my mom called me frantically telling me to come rescue my cards. Fortunately very few took any damage, and I started going through them slowly over the next few years. Much like you, I decided I needed a better way to store them, and went into a local baseball card shop to inquire about the best way to do so. It was like stepping into a time machine to my youth, only all of the cards I coveted back then which were unattainable for a 15 year old were suddenly all extremely affordable. I was hooked, and have been avidly collection ever since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to pay more 'for the cover than the book' so I will be getting more 9 card notebook style so I can easily filp through the ones I like. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend getting yourself some nice binders with spines with nice eye appeal. That way you can display them. Zazzle has a lot of nice, custom ones. https://www.zazzle.com/s/binders+baseball+card 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahoney Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Dad and I had owned a sports cards store in the early '90s. One day, I bought a '69 (rookie) PSA 9 Reggie Jackson, and a '68 (rookie) PSA 9 Nolan Ryan from the same customer. Those are the highlights of my collection. I'll take pics next time I make it to the safety deposit box. Here's my favorite card that I have on hand: '82 Topps Traded (rookie) Cal Ripken, nearly flawless except for the two damn white ink spots near the hat's logo. 😞 Edited March 8, 2021 by Mahoney 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
