25. Vintage Football 101 with Justin @vintagefb52 and Mike @ens7ob

This week on Global Card Collectors, Will talks with Justin and Mike about the exciting world of vintage football cards. It’s a perfect starting point for those looking at entering into a different genre of card collecting. Whether you have a few dollars to spare or a bit more to invest, there's a way to get started.

We'll explore affordable options like raw rookie cards of Hall of Fame players for just a few dollars, or discuss the benefits of investing in graded versions of these cards for only a little bit more. But it's not just about the cards themselves – Justin and Mike emphasize the importance of collecting what truly excites you. Collect what you love is rule number one with these guys.

One unique off-shoot in collecting vintage football is getting through-the-mail (TTM) autographs and inscriptions, Mike shares his insider tips on how to get started here and shows off some of the cards he had signed and the personal messages he received from Hall of Fame players. Again, collecting many of these autographs is surprisingly affordable. Amazing! So if you’re after some advice from seasoned collectors or simply looking at dipping your toe into a different area of collecting but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you.
