The 1962 Topps Lou Brock rookie card is one of the true great vintage cards of the 1960's, in my opinion.

There are a few things that make this card great:

The orange background and woodgrain borders are instantly recognizable...

And the fact that Brock is wearing a Cubs jersey and ball cap (since he'd build most of his legacy as a St. Louis Cardinal) give it a bit of mystique.

There's no question it's a key card in the 1962 Topps set and one of the must-have rookie cards of the 1960's.

In this guide we'll take a look at everything you need to know about collecting Brock's rookie cards.

When you think about football cards from the 1970's, the Terry Bradshaw rookie card is surely one that comes to mind.

I've always liked this card because its design is simple and straightforward.

The color scheme makes it a great-looking card and a must-have for any vintage football card collector, in my opinion.

Collectors must agree, too, because demand for Bradshaw's rookie remains quite high.

So much so that it's still one of the most valuable football cards in the hobby overall.

Whether you're buying or selling, this comprehensive guide on Bradshaw's rookie card should cover everything you need to know about this iconic card.

When I think of pre-War baseball cards I instantly think of Ty Cobb baseball cards.

But Ty Cobb cards are consistently atop the list of key cards of all the key pre-War sets.

And they themselves aren't cheap either. Just look at our list of most valuable baseball cards and you'll see his cards all over it.

So, in honor of the legendary Detroit Tiger, I've developed this list of the most important Ty Cobb cards you can collect.
