The backs of cards have a certain charm - and what you might find "dorky" might be appreciated by others.
I'm a collector of the pen & ink artwork that's on the backs of cards and find it to be a fun "area" of my collecting.
Also, to make it more interesting - sometimes Topps Heritage will give an entirely different cartoon on the related SP to the set. I can't wait for Topps to start selling the artwork for Heritage - I just hope I have deep pockets when it comes.
An example:
Of interest - they didn't see the misspell - "colleting" - so it went into print that way.
I guess what I'm saying - in collecting it's all relative - what one might see as uninteresting and not relevant - to another, it's a treasure.
I've probably got about 150 pieces now - and Toppsvault sold all they had - most got sold in 1989 at the Guernsey Auction.
Good question - Happy Thanksgiving mike >>

Same here - and I still enjoy the backs of the cards to this day...this may sound "crazy" to some but sometimes I enjoy looking at a checklist - yea, I've probably been card collecting too long. LOL

Nick, that was like a 1st round KO on your part. You called him on it, backed it up and knocked him out. Solid.

Like mentioned, the stats on the back was a must read. I think it was 1967 Topps decided to cut down
on the number of stats and to me that was a problem. 71 too.
Some early Topps cards had that 'problem' as well.
The best was when they had the complete major and minor league stats.
