Are you interested in acquiring some serious vintage football trading cards? Ok, how about some 1948 Bowmans? Those are some serious vintage football cards of the NFL! I recently saw a card I would have liked to have. It was a 1948 Bowman of Steve Van Buren of the Philadelphia Eagles! Yeah, THE Steve Van Buren! It was black and white, and featured Steve with a football tucked under his arm. He was wearing his number 15 jersey. This was the good part. It was in near-mint to mint condition, and looked awesome! This was the bad part (for me anyway), this valuable football card sells for just under $1800.

Oh well, it’s probably worth it. So, if you come across this rare football card for less than $1500 in near mint condition, snatch it up, because you are getting one heck of a deal. Ok, what about a 1948 Leaf? That’s vintage football cards for you! What about the 1948 Leaf card #63, Roy ‘rebel’ Steiner? I saw one once. It featured Roy Steiner of the Green Bay Packers in his number 23 Jersey. Roy’s face was black and white but his jersey was red and his backround was yellow! This card was rated an excellent card (5) and was going for just under $100.

Vintage Football cards are definitely fun to collect! For one, they have some of the greatest players from eras of football we love. For another, they are some of the most classic cards you can get a hold of. You are definitely not wasting your money on rare, classic cards such as these.
