Your writing takes me back to my 12th birthday in Greeley, Colorado, when my folks gave me 5 bucks for baseball cards, The closest card shop was in Denver 50 miles south. So I waited until the next time my folks visited my Dad's brother and his family living in Wheatridge. he shop was 10 miles west through Denver down Colfax avenue taking a good 45 minutes drive. we went after our visit before going back home. I got 15 minuets to spend my birthday money on 27 bards, one of which was a Chico Carresquel whose autographed infielder model was my first glove. thanks for th memories,
Interesting post, to say the least. I remember the 'baseball buying card boom' in the 1980s. I knew some folks that would buy cases just to keep as an investment.
