Consider how much better looking I seem because we always meet in the company of that third party, and both of us look grand in comparison (and I'll be sure to tell him that). While I played baseball at 12, it was basketball from 13 to 30, but two achilles tendon ruptures have made me a hockey player (less jumping in hockey). However, a picture of me in my hockey equipment at my current age is even more frightening than the 12 year old baseball photo.

And the ONLY card that my mother through away was my Bobby Orr rookie card--it is one card I would treasure finding, if only to gaze upon that youthful, scrubbed Bruin face again, and contemplate the wonder of my 12 year old artistic touch, having then added a goatee and glasses to Mr. Orr's card, as he was a member of the then despised Boston Bruins. Pro 7 perhaps but as Master Card says, priceless. Do others have similarly decorated cards from their youth (hopefully baseball)?
