Vintage Baseball Teams - playing the game 1860's style Posted: 2 years ago by RowanGrey
A growing number of baseball enthusiasts are joining "throwback" baseball leagues. Players wear the classic white long-sleeved shirt and short-brimmed hats popular in the game's early years. Another big difference? No gloves. "Only sissies wear a mitt..."
*THIS is baseball I could get into. No corporate endorsements, no steroids, no million-dollar salaries. Just guys out in the summer sun playing a game they love.

Vintage (50s, 60s, 70s) board games and toys Posted: 3 years ago by dollyllama
Description, some pictures. I wouldn't call them bargains (considering back in their day you could probably get each of them for well under $5) but it's fun looking and you might just find one you can't live without!

Video Gallery: Best Vintage Tech Commercials Posted: 2 years ago by extc68
Selling computers and videogames used to be much more difficult. Back when it was considered impressive to be able to display both blue and light blue, actual screenshots tended to congregate at the intersection of boring and repulsive. That's why a generation was raised thinking that the main purpose of a home computer was to store recipes. These ads take a slightly more elaborate approach to selling geek materials to the geeky, bringing in anything from transvestitism to Shatner -- although, sadly, not a transvestite Shatner.

More Vintage Sexist Advertising Posted: 6 months ago by easilydistracted
These old ads are kind of hilarious (in a weird way) and tremendously sad. I thought I understood mid-century sexism until I started looking through these ads. Apparently I was just aware of it, I don't think I'll ever understand it. Related plime.

17 Vintage Beer Ads That Somehow Helped Sell More Beer Posted: 1 year ago by AutumnLotus
It is funny to look back at the things that entertained, enticed and inspired our culture but a few decades ago. Not only is the style out of date, but the thematic choices made and images used leave us to wonder how on earth these advertisements did not, in fact, damage the company's marketing effort.

40 Gorgeous Vintage Tobacco Advertisements Posted: 6 months ago by AutumnLotus
Tobacco advertising has got to be one of the most morally questionable industries out there.
It seems these advertisers would stop at nothing to exploit every possible resource - all in name of peddle their wares. A few victims of tobacco advertisements include celebrities, doctors, children, the military, Christmas, nostalgia, cartoon characters, and of course everyone’s favorite - sex.
