Whenever I can, I like to pick up vintage cards of some of the more desirable old Yankees. You know, Mantle, Rizzuto, Berra, Ford, Maris. Usually, for me to afford them, they need to look like a chew toy. I don't mind though. I just like owning them. I'll upgrade when I'm a millionaire.
My latest addition is this 1963 Topps Roger Maris. Well-loved is not the word. Well-hated is more appropriate. It's been folded any which way you can imagine. I just couldn't pass it up for about $3 total.
This is my second vintage Maris. I also own the 1966 below. I smell a challenge.
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.
