I had just turned 10 years old in the summer of 1965. Baseball and baseball cards were the biggest things in life. The Cardinals had just won the World Series. My Dad went to Game 7 (with clients, not me, but I'll get over it some day) and I still have the program and tickets. The program has since been signed by each of the Game 7 starters. Anyway, I have been collecting cards and opening packs for the better part of 60 years. Nothing will ever compare to the feeling I had when I saw these two cards for the first time. The Cards Celebrate was the first of the World Series cards I got that summer. The colors, the image, the smell of the gum . . . in response to the OP's request to show a card that makes you happy, I'm grinning ear to ear.
