Profile
- I am a:
- Enthusiast/Collector, Hall of Fame
- About Me:
- I am a writer and baseball card enthusiast. I write about The Golden Age of Baseball Cards and their influence on society and the game. With the current baseball card industry suffering a slow death, we must look to the past for answers.
The Golden Age of Baseball Cards is dedicated to a time when baseball card collecting was a hobby of many boys and an occasional girl. It was a time when the cards meant more to the owner than their monetary value. Kids traded, flipped and played with baseball cards. They even destroyed them by cutting them up and putting them in bicycle spokes. But, even more importantly, they learned from them. The impact of baseball cards from the Golden Age, the 50s and 60s, on society was tremendous.
