I’ve been staying far away from eBay recently. It’s too easy
to spend money on things I don’t need. I’ve turned to Listia because it still
gives me the same rush of bidding on and winning cards, and I don’t spend money (other than a few stamps on cards I "sell"). Sure,
there aren’t many good cards nowadays and credits are jacked up, but for me I’ve found it’s just the addiction
being fed…it doesn’t matter where it comes from. So might as well go to the
most cost-effective place.
Anyhow, probably annoyed with the crap on Listia, I checked
out eBay and scored this Phil Rizzuto for $2. I had never seen it or heard of
the set. It’s from 1961 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops. No clue. But hey, a vintage
Rizzuto is pretty cool regardless of the make.
From what I read, there were sets in 1960 (larger cards) and
1961. They weren’t fully appreciated and didn’t really compete with Topps and
Fleer to a lesser extent. They were fine alternatives, but the set was a bit
moring compared to the color photography of the other sets.
Do any of you have some sweet old Nu-Cards?
