Post War Vintage Cards

Post War Vintage Cards covers the era of trading card production from 1945 to 1975, spanning the end of World War II through the dawn of the modern collecting era. This thirty-year period saw the rise of Bowman and Topps as dominant manufacturers, the establishment of the standard trading card format, and the production of some of the most sought-after cards in the hobby.
