The year was 1959 when I bought my first pack of cards from Mack's, the corner store in my neighborhood. I was seven years old at the time and had all of a quarter, my entire allowance, to spend on cards for the week. Although I don't remember any of the '59's that I got that day, I do very vividly remember finding this 1957 Yogi Berra card in the gravel alley on my way home. I couldn't believe my luck. She's a beauty, and I have had it ever since.
