I come from a working class background and we never had much money, Dad always working, yada yada...
The one and only memory I have of my Dad and I in this hobby was when he took the time out to drive to an out of town card dealer, I must have been 11 or 12. I was in heaven when I walked in that store, my Dad was patient. 52 Mantles were going for 2500 bucks. He said I could choose one card, I chose a 51 Bowman Willie Mays. It cost him $225 for that card and I knew he was stretching the budget to get it for me. I still have that raw card today, I told my Son when I go, put that card in my casket, you can have everything else.
