Rob DewolfIn 1978 our family's summer vacation was a trip to Cooperstown. I spent the majority of the brutally boring -- and long -- car drive from Canton, Ohio, to the holy grail reading and re-reading The Complete Book of Baseball Cards, the second edition of the Sports Collector's Bible and a catalog from Den's Collectors Den. The best part was that The Complete Book of Baseball Cards had a chapter that mentioned Cooperstown, the card shops that were there and some of the cards that were available to buy. Talk about whetting a 15-year-old collector's appetite!
Still have those books, too.
