A recent story
A couple weeks ago I picked my son up from basketball camp and we stopped by a local card shop on the way home. He bought some packs and I bought some supplies. He knows I don't really collect too many modern cards and as we looked at all the "old" wax boxes on the shelf he asked me what pack I'd want if I was going to buy one. I looked at the shelf for a minute and replied that as a kid I always loved the 1983 Topps cards. It was the first set I ever put together.
He wanted to buy a pack for me and he chose one carefully from the 1983 box. We opened our cards when we got out to the car and I was pretty surprised when I opened my pack. It had four Hall of Famers and a would-be Hall of Famer (if not for scandal): --Wade Boggs (rookie) --Tom Seaver (super veteran) --Reggie Jackson --Bruce Sutter --Pete Rose I complimented his pack-picking ability and told him he could keep the star cards for his HOF collection. He was thrilled and so was I. Last edited by BradH; 08-06-2015 at 05:20 PM. |
