Reply to "John Martinkovic, 1927-2018"

O.K. then . We'll let John Martinkovic's legacy be a "cool card "thread in his honor. As I've mentioned before, I am attempting to collect every Packer card (and coin and stamp and odd ball miscellany) issued between 1948 (Leaf put out the first set post war in 1948) and around 1975 (arbitrary, but that was the beginning of the end in my opinion of cards that have any value years later) It's not as easy as you'd think as you'll see, in addition to Leaf, Bowman and of course Topps, there are dozens of specialty issues from the likes of Post Cereal, Salada  Tea,  Drenks chips and on and on. It's been a tad expensive (most I ever dropped was around $150 for both Hornung and Starr '57 rookie cards) but over the years most of the cards I've obtained have been in the $2-$10 range with the occasional $20-$25 expenditure on more valuable cards (any Bart Starr cards from 1957-72 are going to get a premium). I'll expound on more later, but for openers, here's a cool card from the 1948 Leaf set....
