I picked up this 51 Monte Irvin 3 or 4 (or 5??) years ago at an antique mall in Niles, MI. I bought it raw knowing it would look sharp in a tux (and would probably grade out at a 1) and I was right! This is one of my many favorite cards.

Welcome to the Vintage Baseball Cards group on Mantel, proudly sponsored by Cardhound Vintage. This space is dedicated to collectors, enthusiasts, and fans who share a passion for the history, stories, and artistry behind classic baseball cards. Whether you’re a lifelong hobbyist or just beginning your journey into vintage collecting, this group offers a place to connect with others who appreciate the golden eras of the game. Share your collection, ask questions, tell stories, keep up with the latest news, and as the group grows, we hope it evolve into a robust buy / sell / trade platform. At Cardhound Vintage, we believe vintage collecting is about more than old cardboard—it’s about a sense of community, the stories and nostalgia, and the thrill of the hunt (hence the name Cardhound). The aim is to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging place for everyone who values the history and culture of vintage baseball cards and collecting. If you enjoy vintage baseball card collecting, welcome! You’re in the right place.
