This space for rent

I really couldn't come up with a title for this post, so if you want to rent it, contact me and we can talk about pricing! 

The below card came as a freebie via TCDb. I had contacted the guy who had it and offered to buy it as I didn't have any matches on the trade report. But, because it has a rather long crease down the right side, he ended up just sending it to me for nothing. The card is the 1987 New York Mets Junior Mets Club card. I've sent a ton of free cards to people via the site and even though I was happy to pay for it, it feels great t "get one back", as it were. 

It's funny that I just said the other day that creases in vintage cards is something I don't want to really touch. Certainly not pay for! But, a free card? Ok. And, in case you're wondering, I do consider this a vintage card. For me, vintage is anything older than about 25-ish years. That splits the middle in the common understanding of a generation. I feel this way because when I was in my first collecting heyday back in the mid-1980s, vintage already included cards from the mid-1960s. So, I'm only being consistent. (though, cards from the 1970s were also considered vintage, then, too, which complicates things! For those out there that consider 1980 the cut off point, by this logic, in 1980, cards were vintage from 1935 or so.)

Next up was a purchase. This is an oversized "box topper" from 2020 Stadium Club card.

I was thrilled to get this as oversized cards matter and it was lacking the image on TCDb, so I was able to add it. 

How do you feel about oversize cards? What about mini cards? I have a love hate relationship with them both when compared to the standard card size, which is preferable because I'm predictable and boring. I think I overall, though, prefer mini cards because at least they can be stored in much the same way and place as standard cards. 

Thanks for stopping by!
