Welcome to my old baseball card wantlist. The main focus of this page
has always been my collection of Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers team sets.
When I got back into collecting almost 10 years ago, I was in need of almost
everything Topps and Bowman related. There were many sets I almost
didn't put on my list, because when you collect Dodgers, you're talking
about loads of guys that are in the Hall. I joined OBC
(a group of guys that collect cards for the love of collecting) in late 1996
and pretty soon cards I'd only dreamed of started showing up in my mailbox.
I'll never forget the day a tattered, well-loved Sandy Koufax rookie showed
up.
So I figured "why not" and threw up every Topps Dodger from '52
through '69 (I had the '70s covered prior to OBC) and Bowmans from '48
through '55. Many years later, my Dodger list has gotten pretty darn
small. I'm down to a single Bowman (Duke Snider rookie anyone??) and a
whole mess of '52 Topps. Those are gonna take forever, and may never
happen, but a guy can dream, right?
As my
Dodger lists got smaller, I decided to go after a few complete sets here and
there. OBC quickly laid waste to many of the mid-'70s sets and heavily
damaged lots of others. Right now, I'd love to someday complete my
favorite set of all time, 1957. Visually it is a gorgeous set, with
only the 1953 Bowman set surpassing it (in my opinion). It was the
last year that featured the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants and also
the first year of the modern-sized card. Another set I'd love to
complete someday is my birth-year set, 1966. Other sets I collect are
linked at the left.
Condition of any card
issued prior to 1980 isn't important, as long as it can be recognized as once having
been a baseball card. This can include any that were used to make your bike sound like a
Harley, cards edited with a pen, pencil or crayon (mustaches, new team
names, blackened teeth, birth-control glasses), and cards otherwise enhanced with
things like sandpaper, water, glue, drills, hole punches or darts. Cards with rips,
creases, missing pieces and tape damage also qualify.
Card
numbers in red are
pending acquisition.
