Since my early childhood collecting days, I’ve appreciated the colorful package designs our cherished vintage Baseball and Football cards came in. The colorful wax packs and the display boxes were designed to hook us kids into spending every penny, nickel and dime from our allowances, or in my case, the hard-earned money from my newspaper route. Remember the after school trips to the local drug or
five & dime store? I couldn’t wait to rip into those wax packs to find my favorite team or players. How about the holiday money you used to purchase a whole wax box? Now that was just like Christmas! The neighborhood grocery store opens in 2 hours, I better get hoofin! After amassing several shoe boxes full of cardboard gems, I realized organizing my cards had become a real challenge. I could only go through so many pairs of shoes to get more boxes and really found it unmanly to use my mothers shoe boxes. My supply of free rubber bands (courtesy of my delivery route) used to bind team sets was dwindling. If you’re in my age bracket, I’m sure these challenges are quite familiar. Luckily, relief was just around the bend. Finally, collector binders/albums came into vogue and provided a good way to store and view the cards, but boy were they bland looking and featured generic designs which is contrary to the vintage lure of the hobby. Fast forward to today with the birth of an idea. Our line of BCB© Collector Albums are professionally designed with the look and feel of the respective sports cards year of issuance. Similar bright colors and design elements used on wax packs such as players in action, baseballs, footballs & font styles are strategically used to evoke memories of your collecting journey. Each album features the year of issue right on the spine for you to easily keep your albums displayed in chronological order. Our unique Provenance Card™ included inside the interior pocket of each album, will help you document your acquisition history including purchase information, sources, appraisal, and is useful for insurance & estate planning, so your collection can live on. Collectors have told us that selling their sets in BCB© Albums have increased buyer interest and in some cases have improved their ROI. What’s new? We are constantly creating new designs for issue years not yet covered, so if you don’t see what you want, just let us know. Our site features over 480 different basketball, football & hockey as well as non-sports albums too. Many thanks and happy collecting! Richard T. BaseballCardBinders.com
