” 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.
Yeah, I remember my Tops card trading days well. Back in the day when a deal was a deal and lawyers weren’t needed.
Too funny! That's exactly what my mother did when I went to Marine Corps boot camp.
Also, I built my music collection in the same manner. In my younger days, I used to go to yard sales and pick LPs out of milk crates. The mothers had no idea as to the worth. I was getting vintage Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan albums for 50 cents or a dollar. One time, I was browsing through several crates towards the end of the day and she told me I could have the whole stash for $20. She just wanted to be rid of it I lugged home over 100 albums, lot of it crap like Bay City Rollers and Captain & Tennille but some gems as well.
