Hate to admit it, but I gave up on trading in 1953, when another nine-year-old in my rock-strewn schoolyard refused my offer of ten pack-fresh Bowman Color commons for his Warren Spahn blazer. He then shoved me out of his way and laughed all the way back to the classroom. I despised that kid for the rest of the spring and never did get a Spahn card from that set - until 1982, when I purchased one at a cardshow. Sorry, but that's my emotionally retarded reason for preferring sales.
