Started the set around 1984 with Jack Bastian, Piedmont back.
Sat with three cards for three decades. For some reason I hung on to these three cards. Liquidating my childhood, and then some, collection in 1985 to "fund" a divorce attorney, the collection bug bit me again in 2012 around the time I formally retired from the work force, moving to the Eastern Sierras. There is not a card shop or show within 225 miles of our place, so I acquired the next 515 cards, with duplicates, thru Internet auctions and the BST here on Net54.
I called my collection the Old Fool collection, the graded cards I once owned still reflect on the SGC Registry. Guess I should take it down. Too bad SGC doesn't offer a retired feature like PSA. I sold the set thru LOTG last year.
Sure miss my Cobbs. So I guess I'll be happy with Mr Clemente for now.
