I’m breaking down my COMC mailday into multiple parts. I’ve already posted my 1955 Topps All American pickups, but these are the rest of the vintage football cards.
I knew that I was about to send off a shipment, so I thought I’d see what cheap vintage I could find to spend most of the rest of my balance on. I searched by lowest price, so
At $1.55, this is the most I spent on any of the four cards in this post. I actually bought this one earlier and sat on it for awhile. It was probably the cheapest one available at the time and I just decided to add it.
Each of these was just 55 cents. I know that they aren’t in great shape, but they are a part of history to me. I look at vintage football cards the way that Mike and Frank look at bicycles, motorcycles, signs and oil cans on American Pickers. I wish these cards could talk. I wonder where these cards have been in their 64 years. How did they get into this shape? Were they in a 10 year old boy’s jeans pocket for months until he traded them off? Sadly, I will never know. It doesn’t take any luster off the cards though.
