After playing in three different decades and for a few different teams, Seaver fans are left with a plethora of cards to collect.

1966 Donruss Green Hornet Set - Get Ready for the Buzz
The Green Hornet was a short-lived but memorable television show that aired in the late-1960s. With martial arts expert Bruce Lee as one of its stars,
the show developed a small but loyal following. During that time, a set of trading cards was released which captured the characters from the classic show.
Today, and with the release of a Green Hornet movie scheduled for 2010, the set has enjoyed a bit of resurgence. In the following article, collectors share their
enjoyment in collecting these cards.

PSA SET REGISTRYSM SPOTLIGHT
seinbigd - The Number One Current Finest 1962 Post Cereal Football Set
While this issue is not exactly a mainstream set, it is one of the more difficult vintage football issues to assemble on the registry.
Keep in mind that these cards were found on the backs of various cereal boxes and many of them have been poorly cut over the years, eliminating them
from eligibility for a numerical grade from PSA. This particular set is not only complete, it carries with it a GPA of 8.60! With 200 cards needed to
complete the set, this achievement is put into even greater perspective. The set also includes a slew of very tough short prints and some very early cards
of players like Mike Ditka and Fran Tarkenton. This award-winner is the only complete set on the registry and, by far, the finest of all-time

PSA Q & A
Question:
When it comes to original photographs, are they worth more if the players are in uniform or off the field?
Answer:
The general rule is that most collectors prefer shots of the players in uniform or on the field than those that capture the
players off the field. That said, there are instances when great photographs which capture players off the field can be very desirable.
For example, if the players were relatively private or the picture is of a special event unrelated to the game. A picture of Joe DiMaggio with Marilyn
Monroe or one of Babe Ruth clowning around with children can be very desirable because both types of photos capture something significant about the person,
not just their performance on the field.
