Zistle’s football library just grew substantially thanks to Mike from Nearmint’s Vintage Football Cards. Mike graciously shared the beautiful scans featured on his reference site the Vintage Football Card Gallery with Zistle and we are extremely excited. I mean you can just see from the image of his site above that these scans are beautiful. If you haven’t checked out the gallery, it is a well-designed site that contains various football sets from 1948-1975 with great images and more information than most sites.

Mike got back into the hobby after a friend got him hooked on 1989 ProSet. After a short time, he started collecting cards from his childhood and in 1999 started selling cards on Ebay.  When Ebay raised thier prices in 2001, Mike launched his own sales site Nearmint Vintage Football Cards and never looked back. TheVintage Football Card Gallery grew from the sales site and 98-99% of the cards in the gallery were at one time in Mike’s own personal collection or sold through his site–meaning that he has spent quite a bit of time with his scanner.

Mike is a true Zistle hero. Not only does he run a fabulous site selling vintage football cards but he has created an amazing resource for vintage football card collectors. We are truly honored that his gallery is now a part of the Zistle library.

We need your help! If you are on Zistle and you notice a card that looks like this…

or this when you hover over it…

we would appreciate it if you could flag it. Simply check the box that states that the image is incorrect but you don’t have the right one. We have had issues with some of the images that have been entered into Zistle and we believe that we have fixed this problem. However, there are still many broken images in our database. If you come across any in your collection, please flag them. There are a few sets that have LOTS of these images. If you find a set like this and you don’t feel like flagging them all yourself, please send us a note using our feedback tool and we will take care of it right away. We have been combing our database trying to remove these broken images but it will take us a while to get through the entire library. Your help is greatly appreciated.
