Dan M - vintage wantlists
Updated 10.6.2026
Updated 10.6.2026
Specifics are listed for each sport - please see below.
In general, with some exceptions listed below, I'm totally fine with low-grade cards, especially for 1950s/1960s cards. In fact, that's really the only way I've ever collected most vintage stuff.
I do stay away from cards with writing or tape/sticky residue - and also avoid cards with tears or trimming or big chunks missing.
But hard-earned signs of honest wear - rounded corners, wrinkles, moderate creasing, etc. - all are absolutely fine.

The first pack of cards I ever opened was 1975-76 Topps hockey. But it was a leftover pack at the local convenience store, which I likely acquired after the season had ended, so I didn't really get to collect that set at all - UNTIL NOW!

Some specific items, but mostly type cards
I collect soccer type cards for sets from 1979 and earlier, but only for very specific players/teams. If you're interested in reading more about my quirky (annoying?) tastes, click here for specifics on my collection of soccer type-cards: what I already have and what I'm looking for!
I also collect some modern soccer - details are also on my soccer page.
In addition to the type-cards described above, I also collect Johan Cruyff and Pele - almost all cards (traditional size or smaller) and stickers of those two players.
Looking for the following Panini stickers:
1973/74 Campioni dello Sport 112 (Cruyff)
1974 World Cup (Munchen 74) 246 (Cruyff)
1978 Euro Football 83 (Barcelona) 182 (Cruyff/Rensenbrink)
Like soccer, I collect rugby type cards for sets from 1979 and earlier, but it's even more limited for rugby: only for players from two teams: Ireland and New Zealand. Click here for rugby specifics: what I already have and what I'm looking for!
Old colleges, flags, lighthouses, and ships - plus Superman :)

I'm always looking for vintage ephemera related to legendary hockey and football star Hobey Baker.

I collect the following APBA baseball items:
I still need many of the original APBA Red Sox and Dodgers cards/team sets from the 1950 through 1959 seasons (i.e., not the reprints, often with copyrights listed on the cards, that the company has put out since the mid-1980s - sometimes referred to as R or RR sets)
Any first-printing Great Teams of the Past (GTOP) team sets that I don't already have
APBA baseball advertising ephemera (original lineup sheets, set announcements and order forms, etc.) from 1969 and earlier
I do have multiple items in each of the above categories already - need to get a bit better organized but can definitely send a havelist upon request.
APBA items are tricky in that there are so many different printed versions of some sets that it can be hard to tell which ones fall into the categories above and which ones don't. (Often printing font is unfortunately the "easiest" way to tell!)
