“Baseball cards were #10 in 1970? That’s kind of bizarre.”

You got a problem with that?

I was a big consumer of Tops baseball cards (and crappy gum) in the 1970s. Cutthroat trading rules. You wouldn’t want to get caught in the middle.

” You got a problem with that? “

Actually, it kind of inspired me to visit the Topps website; I was pleased to discover they’re issuing limited-edition cards of contemporary players in the 1954 baseball card style. And what I really liked about that (besides that it’s a really neat idea) is the 1954 series includes the very first cards I remembered owning.

And like 99% of the rest of the baseball-card-collecting world, those cards all got tossed by my mom once I moved out of our house.
