The younger me would wonder -
1. Why did you keep 22 1978 Mike Lum cards? 2. Why do you have so many doubles when you could trade them for something else? 3. How come you never got enough money to order the Kellogg's sets that were available via a mail-in offer? 4. When a neighbor gave you 1000 1971s why didn't you ask him to include some players who you actually heard of?

Why did you stop collecting Mark McGwire? Why don’t you have an Honus Wagner yet?
If anyone wants to make my 8 year old dreams come true, I have a nice Jackie Robinson collection that I’d consider trading for a 1985 Tiffany PSA 10 McGwire and a PSA 1 T206 Wags. Last edited by vansaad; 06-25-2023 at 08:52 PM.

My 8 year old self would be so excited to see that I had tobacco and candy cards these days. When I was 8 I always wanted a tobacco card but never thought I would have one. I didn't know that they were even at the shows I was going to as a kid. I was just looking for the modern stuff at the time, the Mattingly rookies and Griffey's and stuff. If I had spent time looking around better I would've seen T206s and other prewar cards. I also would have seen that they could have been bought for less than a box of junk wax at the time. So I would've been so happy and in awe of what I have today. Even though I don't have anything crazy valuable, I have plenty of cards that would've excited the 8 year old me. That's for sure.
I'd probably be thinking, however, why I don't have a Ty Cobb yet. Ha! I'd also be impressed with my post war vintage collection and my Mantles and other cards in that era. Great topic. .

As a youngster, I would have been absolutely amazed to learn that baseball cards were produced and issued prior to WWII.
