My dad was born in 42 and while he has always been a big baseball fan he said he never really collected cards as a kid out side of a few random packs. The thing is every time he looks at my collection, which is displayed chronological, he always pauses when he sees the 56 Topps cards and says "there is something oddly familiar about these". Makes me hope maybe he will find a few cards tucked away somewhere. I would absolutely love to have a few cards I knew he pulled from a pack.
A few years ago he gave me his high school baseball glove and ball signed by his teammates. I would build a display for it and his cards and it would be the new center piece of my collection. As a side note, and little plug to a great friend and fellow net54 member, campyfan39 (hi Chris) wrote a book called "Buying Back Dad's Cards" which tells the familiar story a boy, Chris' father, whose cards got thrown out only to be slowly required over decades by him and his son. Great book for a collector who has a family connection to collecting. Drew
