As a teenager, my friend and I worked out a trade where I was going to receive his 1960 Leaf Duke Snider card for my prized 1991 Upper Deck Dikembe Mutombo rookie card, which I had pulled from a pack, and 10 M-80 firecrackers.
The Mutombo rookie is a cool looking card with the Denver skyline in the background and at the time he had some serious potential. The Duke Snider card was in VG condition at best, but I thought, what the hell? He's a hall of famer.
I come to learn that the Snider card was trimmed and trimmed quite poorly too. I still have it. Man, I wish I had those M-80s back.
