The hottest topic going around the card blogs are "cards with character" ...aka vintage cards that are FUBAR. Thanks to Fuji of The Chronicles of Fuji for inspiring this unofficial Blog Bat Around.
These were all a quarter each at a card show I recently attended and the seller saw me looking at them and offered me $3.00 for the lot. This first group of six cards are just some rough 1954 Bowman cards with creases and severe wear.
While this next group have a little more character as they have either been trimmed [usually to the top half an inch is gone] or they've been marked with a pencil or sometimes both.
All in all, this was a great collection of cards, with character, that I love to stumble upon.
