So since Leon moved the introduction post to the correct forum, here is the link I was talking about:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...hlight=caprice
Gives a great overview of how collecting has changed over the past years and how to maximize your sales. If you have any questions about COMC, let me know. I love it there.

Default Thanks Mom

Hi, and welcome aboard. I can so relate, as I was another lucky one whose mom kept all my cards for me. My collecting was mostly from 1967-1972, but I am thrilled that I had complete sets that I could still cherish. While my mom is now long gone, my grown daughters love the fact that there is a five year span where the cards in my binders were actually from my youth.

Those sets are still the favorite ones I have, and I imagine because they were from that time in my life when I really was a kid.

Best of luck in completing your 1963 set, and any others you care to care to complete.

welcome...and nice story! my mom knew better than to touch my precious baseball card collection of my youth...instead I sold/gave them away to buy a beat up 77 camaro in high school.

Nice crisp mementos you've got there! Enjoy your retirement and the hobby!

Welcome, Marcos. I absolutely LOVE reading stories like yours. Kid buys wax packs like a banchee in heat. Kid goes off to college and forgets about those childhood relics, especially after meeting his future wife. Kid gets a great job and has a happy family. Decades later, while visiting mom, she busts out kid’s original collection in near mint to mint condition.

God, I love this country!! And this hobby!!

Welcome Marcos! I was also one of the lucky ones. When I bought my first house in 1985, my mother brought all of my old cards (and trophies and the rest of my childhood junk). They were all from 1966-1970 and were in great shape.
You got some great 1963 cards but I got all the 1966 high numbers.
Thanks Mom!
