Friend of mine collected all the baseball cards of 1950`s and 1960`s...All in mint condition...In 1980`s, he was a single, young man in los Angeles having a great time and his mom calls and asks what he wants to do with the cards....Toss them,so she did.
Year 1990 and he has wife,house and 2 young kids....I ask him what the cards would be worth..He says I don’t even like thinking about them..He figures he could have sold them and sent his kids to the best colleges....
I can still taste the bubble gum. That was the only way I knew anything about baseball, reading the cards. Yes, better not to know.
