When the value of baseball card was based on whether he played for "your" team, except for maybe Mantle, Mays and Aaron.

everyone wasn't ALWAYS accessible ALL the time and you had to do some legwork for knowledge.

on a card note...remember the good old days when to analyze a card you'd take it out of the toploader...or sheet and examine it by turning to see hairline creases and such...you didn't just look at a number and a card through plastic.

The 1970s were amazing so far as big cards for low prices, but it was really hard for a lot of us who lived in remote location had problems getting access and finding shows. I only know of one show which was three hours from my home. The 1980s were great, truly the wild west. Lots of cards, lots of shows, lots of access, lots of money being thrown around. During the 1990s, the "stock market" crashed...and should have. It was built on unrealistic expectations. For me, these are the good old days. I can find a lot of stuff, I have a little money to spend on things I like. Yeah, I'm still stuck with 800 Tommy Gregg rookies, but it's reminder of the older times.

Buying cards from Teletrade (mid 90's) by entering in your bid using the buttons on your landline phone when prompted by that electronic voice. I actually got quite a few goods deal this way.

More often that not my landline could not get through from 950 on and I lost quite a few cards that way.

Ahhhhh....Teletrade. That was actually pretty cool.

I remember waiting for Sunday night when all the good stuff for the week was listed on ebay!
