I can't part with my 1971 and 1972 Topps baseball just for this reason. I still have all the extra cards.

The first cards I remember buying where some 1969 football cards on a trip home from the Twin Cities. I can even remeber some of the cards, Larry Csonka, Jerril Wilson, Jan Stenarude and Gale Sayers.

I also remember using my paper route money to run down to the corner store and buy cards all the time. 1972 was the first time I bought a whole box of cards at the incredible price of $3.60. There are packs of cards that cost more than that now

Vintage cards have always been special to me becuase I've always been into the history of the game. Especially players that captured my interest like Lou Sockalexis, Ken Williams, Clyde Milan and Sam Crawford.
