June 1, 2023 By Rich Mueller

There are still plenty of “old school” baseball card collections residing in homes across North America.

Binders Remain a Reliable Storage Option for Vintage Cards

January 7, 2018 By Anson Whaley

Ever since baseball cards were created, storage for them has always been a factor in their care. Early collectors often glued their cards into scrapbooks or kept them in boxes (hint: boxes were a better idea). Later, collectors often kept their cards together with rubber bands. Looking back, not such a great idea, obviously. As collectors became more sophisticated, so did their … [Read more...] about Binders Remain a Reliable Storage Option for Vintage Cards

December 7, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Masanori Murakami rookie card 1965 Topps

They're all a bit long in the tooth now, these old pieces of cardboard. Enough time has gone by to make Topps baseball cards from the 1960s truly vintage. Not enough time has gone by, though, to render them prohibitively expensive for those who still want nice cards for their buck. The cards issued in the 60s have a lasting appeal. Printing technology improved and … [Read more...] about 15 Cool, Cheap 1960s Baseball Cards
