Whoa! Awesome story!
My cousin got me and my brother interested with baseball cards in 1992, when I was 6 years old. My brother and I were behaving well, so my mom purchased a pack of baseball cards for us to share. She also purchased our first Beckett that same day at KMart. When we got home, my brother and I divided the pack into two. We then took turns seeing who we got and looking at the prices of each card in the Beckett. Most of the cards were .05, .15 cents....then...my brother..struck oil for us......
this card was worth....$3.00 !! WE WERE RICH!
We had no idea who "Frank Thomas" was, so we thought if his card is worth $3.00...HE MUST BE GOOD! Frank Thomas became my brother's favorite player from that day forward.We still have that card to this day.
