This rare find seemed to come out of nowhere. Perhaps, since I'm no longer combing through online listings as often as I used to, decent deals build up. 53B's are still double what they used to be only 5 years ago, but they're still a better fraction of BV than many other cards around their era. Rocky Bridges only died 6 years ago this month. He played in the majors from 1951-1961 mostly for the Cincinnati Reds. He had an All Star season in 1958.
Back in 1987, I could only dream of owning the entire collection of Topps-Bowman baseball cards. Today, this dream now almost seems like a reality as I complete one vintage set after another. My secret has been to build these sets as efficiently as possible by focusing primarily on low grade. My goal has simply been to just own the cards first; then upgrade and sell later. This blog shares my journey through collecting, organizing, and enjoying my collection of Topps-Bowman baseball cards.
