I recently picked up my third Phil Rizzuto card and this one is my oldest to date. Prior to this, I had two from 1955 - a Bowman and a Topps. I came across a 1954 Topps on eBay in very poor condition for only a few bucks, and I ended up being the only bidder. I always try to jump at vintage Yanks, even if the condition is crappy. How else would I be able to afford this card, as one in good condition goes from anywhere from $50-$100.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
That card was well-loved!
