Hi, I'm looking to start a collection of cards of people, places, or events of historical importance. I'm not really looking for anything in particular. Im really just looking for anything that catches my eye. If anyone has a list they'd like me to look at plmk and maybe we can make a deal. On a side note, I am also interested in horror TV/movie cards, especially from the black and white days. Thanks, Curtis


Also looking for these sets..

Sorry, I don't need any of those but if you see something from my wantlists, I have lots of 79 and 80 Topps I want to get rid of. They are not mint but they should be VG+. No creases, mostly corner dings and curling. Plmk.

Hi, those are really nice cards but I don't think I have anything in that BV range. What are you looking for? I like the Harding, Hoover, most of the Obama/Lincolns, and Jesse James but in reality, I probably don't have the mojo for them.
