When game two started I headed back to my spot to peep through the fence to catch the game and almost bumped heads with Steve Carlton who was peeping through the fence from the other side to check out the card show. We both laughed and then talked for awhile. A memory that will last forever.

I was at that card show/baseball game and made my first "big" hobby purchase,, a Nr Mint-Mint set of 1975 Topps for $100 .
