reminds me of the eddie geadel

Now that I think about, I had to wait a while for those too. But they do seem to pop up more often.

$14 from Jays in Towson MD. About 1989 or 90 my dad took me to Jays and bought me my first group of vintage baseball cards. I walked out with about 30 cards and the best one was a Cobb bat on ( 100 bucks ), still have all of them.

1976 my first card show in Ft. Smith, AR. I left and sat in my car a few minutes then went back inside and gave John England $4.00 for an Old Judge Doc Bushong, Browns.

As I drove the two hours home I tried to convince myself that I had not thrown my last $4.00 away!
