The month of January saw nine new articles published to the site. I was most proud of the article about the 1971 Topps Winner Baseball Cards and the 4 Wax Boxes Seen at the 2021 National. It got quite a lot of attention over on Twitter, too. I also published 12 updates to the sites’ two archives, unopened and oddball.
From a personal collection perspective, I did pick up a few checklists, but I’ve been trying to figure out a new set to put together. I’ve narrowed it down a bit to the 1950 Drake’s Cookies set (I have an article on this one coming tomorrow), 1941 Goudey Baseball, or a collection of the Top 50 oddball cards I can think of across the four major sports. If you have a suggestion, let me know in the comments.

The Unopened Archive
Last month I said I would have a little less time for writing, so I didn’t make as many archive updates as I have in previous months as I did a bit of traveling for work along with Ironman Triathlon Training. But here are the seven updates made to the Unopened Archive in January:
- 1951 Topps Baseball
- 1960 Nu-Card Hi-Lites Baseball
- 1961 Nu-Card Scoops Baseball
- 1961 Nu-Card Football
- 1962 Topps Football
- 1972 OPC Hockey
- 1984 Topps Football
The Oddball Archive
Here are the five updates I made to the Oddball Archive in January:
- 1959 St. Louis Hawks Busch Bavarian
- 1959 Carling Black Label Beer Cleveland Browns
- 1969 Pepsi Chicago Bulls
- 1980 Arby’s Illinois Fighting Illini
- 1980 TCMA CBA
As always, thanks for reading PostWarCards, and if there is ever a topic you’d like me to write about or a set you’d like me to prioritize for either archive, please reach out to me.
Happy collecting!
