Thanks for sharing your story Brian!!!

That is another part of this hobby that I LOVE. Hearing other's stories about how they got started and what they collected as a child.

As I have told John, I just love people like you and him, that still collect after all these years because of the CARDS and not the money. Because we love the cards designs, colors, players, teams... and how doing so, keeps us young and takes us back to when we were kids.

I am proud to say, I have an 11 year old that, with thanks to John, is into our hobby. It makes me upset when I go to shows and he and MAYBE 2 other youngsters are there.

So again, thanks for sharing.

This thread has turned out cool...

I bought another 1971 Jim Kiick today, which makes 37 of that card for me I still have resisted going past 14 sets, but it wouldn't surprise me to fall into another lot and get a few more sets into binders...The Jim Kiick card started this collecting craziness for me 43 years ago ( I had earlier cards, but this one set really cinched it!)...I'll gather as many of those that I can find. Condition is not important. LMK if you have any, good or bad.

I added 1957 Topps Raymond Berry to my WL above , as I thought I had one that I was going to give to a collector friend. But if I do have Ray in a box somewhere, I cannot seem to find him Any help on a medium grade version would be great. I'll buy or trade.

K-Nole, what does your little one collect? Maybe I have something to offer (no charge)....

Hi Brian,

I have a midgrade (raw) 1971 #209 Deacon Jones available for trade. Looking for similar vintage in baseball / basketball / hockey. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks, David
