Welcome to Bob Bard's Baseball and Trading Cards Site

Picture
By way of introduction, my name's Bob Bard and I started collecting cards when I was about six or seven but they weren't baseball cards--in 1962 Topps issued a set commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Civil War. I had almost the entire set but then foolishly sold them at a yard sale--the whole pile of cards for fifty cents !  I eventually found my way into the baseball card world but I never saved the cards I collected. Then in 1990 I bought a pre-collated set to commemorate the birth of my son, Kevin. When eBay arrived I got drawn back into the world of card collecting for me and then I discovered Dan Austin's Vintage Cards Traders web site where I've made many friends and swapped lots of cards. Here are lists of the cards I need (...though some, where noted, are "have lists" rather than wantlists...). I'm not really picky about condition--I like to avoid cards that are torn, defaced or badly damaged with holes, writing, etc. but don't be afraid to make a trade offer even with lower quality material. If you have some cards you'd like to swap, you can reach me at: bobjab56@gmail.com.

Done ! My brother, Bill gave me a Mickey Mantle card as a "Thank You" for handling the closing on the house he and his
wife bought in Delaware County, New York on January 13, 2017--made up for all the crummy things he
made me do when we were kids...!!!
