Default Early 90's Thomas Boswell article on cards

I had totally forgotten how wonderful this article is. Linked below, if you have never read it. The end to me sums up exactly how I feel about baseball cards as well, though I grew up collecting late 80's and 90's junk wax, not 1950's and 60's sets.

Well worth a few minutes of your time, at any rate.

Makes me wonder if Russ has the cards now or if he sold them himself perhaps? Looks like the article was written in 1991, so it has been close to 30 years...
