My first go-round with baseball cards came in the 1960s. My pals Mark Terry and Chuck White both got going before me. Once I saw what it was all about, I went at it in earnest, as they already had. We used to meet up at Mark Terry's house on a regular basis, and compare what we had and even trade cards. After a while Jimmy Robinson and Edwin Jaffe got in on it. As time went by, several of these guys picked up old cards, most from the 1950s and some even pre-war. I do not remember who had them, I suspect Mark Terry, but somebody had what we would call today 1933 and 1934 Goudey cards, including these two. I did not have them, but I vividly remember someone did, and they were thrown out on the floor and handled and looked at like all the other cards. We called them "old-timers". They most certainly were not treated like the Hope diamond back then!
Now I own these two, and others, safely within my new safe deposit box and they will not be leaving my possession anytime soon (I hope!).
