I've been wanting to do this project for the last couple of years and now I'm doing it. I've collected cards since I was a kid back in the early 70's, but I've never had a serious projection or a focus.
I'm doing a collection of former Dodgers greats & favorites, including Rookie of the Year Dodgers, and Dodger HOF's rookie cards. I will be shooting for PSA 7 up to PSA 10's depending on the cards.
Here are my recent purchases over the last few weeks. Some of the cards have not arrived yet, but I'm very excited!
And finally, just pulled the trigger on a Garvey rookie card. I've been looking for a long time and just found a good centered PSA 8 card.
Also added a signed Steve Howe rookie card.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
We've had a lot of great players here in LA

<< <i>Very nice so far. Are you going to be going back to the Brooklyn years too? >>
I'm going back to the first years in LA, but I do have a few Brooklyn rookies on my list. When I find ones I can afford I will want a 1953 Jim Gilliam , 1954 Tommy Lasorda, 1950 Don Newcombe, 1949 Bowman Gil Hodges, and maybe.........Rookie Koufax and Drysdale, but the price and cards would have to be right.
Seeing that 81 brings back fond memories for me. There was a store within a bike ride of my house. Almost everyday that summer, I rode down there and bought all the 81 racks I could afford.
Good times

<< <i>Good start to a collection although I'm not sure that Dave Stewart fits the description of a "Dodger Great." He certainly found success later on in his career but not in LA (though never will be considered HOF Material)....Good Luck! >>
Thanks! Yes you are correct that Dave Stewart found success after he left the Dodgers. I added him to my list because he was always a favorite and I think he deserves to be on my all time Dodgers collection list.....I guess he could be on the long list of prospects the Dodgers let get away. lol

<< <i>Very Nice Brian, Make sure you update this thread as you add more. >>
Thanks Matt, I will be adding and updating very often. I'm sure like you and many others, this collection will be much larger than I want to do.

Wow Felicia, that is most generous of you!! I have great memories of my late father buying me and my brother rack packs during that year and I don't believe I ever got those two cards!!! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!! PM sent.

I love the 1981 Fernando PSA 9 topps traded card. A Dodger great and very affordable.

Good luck.

Thanks very much for the PM Rich...Check yours as I responded back this morning.

Eventually, I will also be making some custom Oak display cabinets for my collection too as that's one of the things I can do very well because of my profession. Maybe that will be my project for this summer depending on where I'm working.
Thank the Lord that I've been now working for close to 2 months and that things have picked up a little in my industry.

Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
I assume all of those are musts for a Dodgers rookies collection.

<< <i>'79 Dodgers Rookies is Guerrero's rookie. You can find that with a little searching for about $5 or less in PSA 9. '85 Topps, Donruss, or Leaf Hershiser rookies will run about the same. Manny Mota's '63 Topps rookie will be $10-$15 in PSA 8.
I assume all of those are musts for a Dodgers rookies collection.

Hi Nick, I should have Guerrero's rookie card off my list any day now and it will be a PSA 9. I also have a couple of sources right now on an 85 Topps Hershiser PSA 10 card and I'm hoping to purchase one this week.
Manny Mota is among many former Dodgers greats who's rookie cards I would love to have, but I'm focusing right now on actual Dodgers rookie cards. I have a list of guys like Mota, Rick Monday, and Reggie Smith to name a few who came from other teams that will eventually make it to my project.
thanks for the info!

Sweet cards!

Doug, I was checking out your TTM's. Great job! The letters you are receiving are very special too especially the ones by Jim Kaat and John Ellis.

Due to a few personal matters and a slow down at work again, I'm forced to stop adding to this collection.
I will update this thread when I get back into the cards.

<< <i>Send to Mike Marshall first. He's by far the toughest of the 3 to get nowadays. Sax does a number of card shows and other signing events, and Roenicke coaches for the Angels and is rather accessible in person.

Thanks for the info Nick.

Scan will come as soon as it arrives.

<< <i>Brian ... post it when it arrives. >>
I certainly will post scans. I'm also working out the details on a few other key rookie cards. Hopefully I will be able to get them this week.

<< <i>Nice cards Brian. The '71 Garvey sure stands out from that great set. Keep it going, looks good. >>
Thanks very much. I think the Garvey card is one of my favorites and it took me a long time to find one I was happy with.
