I was (am) a diehard Mets fan, but when Reggie came to town, I started quickly switching from Channel 9 to Channel 11 to catch his at-bats each night. Each one was a spectacle of entertainment in its own right. Such excitement during those summer nights!!! Eventually I started sending him fan letters and getting cards autographed, but my jewel is the Reggie Bar wrapper that he autographed for me (I have another one squirreled away somewhere). It's a bit tough to see as it's ballpoint pen on wax paper, but this occupies a huge place in my heart...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Most excellent! It appears we are of the same generation. While I don't have any signed Reggie Bar wrappers, I do remember Reggie Bars with great fondness.

For my own collection, odd as it is, my 2/3 complete collection of Japanese Jintan Gum cards gives me the most satisfaction. I've managed to pull together all but one of the key cards, but unlike '52 Topps which is a set I greatly admire, it's a matter of finding the lesser cards at all and not so much one of price. Over the time I've collected, I've also found 15-20 uncatalogued variations (which I guess, if I found them all, would be a master set of sorts). Anyway, it's probably no great accomplishment but gives me a great deal of pleasure....
