The Card Collectors Company

HoofHearted

This was the first company I ever bought cards from. I remember filling in my 1962 World Series and Babe Ruth subsets from The Card Collectors Company.



















These were the very images I scanned and posted here back in May of '05...

Thanks for checking them out. I really need to re-scan so they're easier to read...

Sorry 'bout that!

Looking at the set prices, I am going to guess that his prices are actually high for 1968. $25 for a five year old set?

That WAS a lot of money back in '63. I remember my Dad's paycheck was for around $125 a week -- to feed a family of 5 boys! Twenty-five bucks was almost a week's worth of groceries. I remember my Mom paying around $30 at the local Red Owl grocery store...

I used to buy from them. By the time I was ordering it was '72-'73, and T206's were .50 each.
Condition really didn't mean much then, you got what you got.

Really. As kids we never worried about the "grade" -- just who the heck was still, kinda showing on the card! Like this 1962 example I saved of George Witt. My cousin and I included it in every trade we made just because we thought it was the ugliest picture ever!
