Jodi BirkholmI remember somebody writing into BCM many years ago with a similar story. The letter was written by a man who grew up in the Eisenhower era. Once the baseball card boom hit, he searched his attic for his collection. He came up empty-handed. He hung his head in regret and was about to exit the attic, when he noticed a gap between the floor boards. He then remembered how he used to spend time playing in the attic on rainy days, and it hit him! For no particular reason, he used to shove his duplicates between the cracks in the floor board. Uprooting one of the planks, he discovered a few fistfulls of dust-laden '55 Bowmans, all in great shape! Luckily for him, he apparently had far too many Campys and Mantles as a kid!
