This month’s Vintage Card of the Month is the Colgate
Raiders football team from the 1910 T51 Murad College Series. This is my 4th
card from the set, and 3rd football card, and is a wonderful action
illustration. I prefer the action shots over the portrait illustrations that
are used in the set.
It surprises me how well the colors and illustrations
have held up for over a century, sure there is a crease in the upper right
corner and the back has adhesive stickers, but will a 1991 Topps card look as
good in 2091?
If I add other T51 Murad cards I am shooting for a
baseball action illustration, basketball and hockey cards.
I bought one from this set. It's a rowing card representing GW, my father's school. Great bunch of cards to collect. Nice pick-up.
ReplyDeleteI always marvel at how vibrant the colors still are too. And to answer your question, I don't think that the '91 Topps will look anywhere near as good in 2091.
