My 8 yr old
My eight year old self would understand why there aren’t 524 cards on my T206 waitlist? “Don’t you want them all? With variations? It won’t be complete!” My 56 year old self is much happier after finally shaking that off, as a thirty-five year old self.
Cheers, Geno

That's a lot of gum you got to chew.

Eight was exactly the age that I began collecting. At eight I would have been really impressed with my Ruth cards, and my dad would be really impressed with my Cobbs.
PS- I would have also loved my 1989 Billy Ripken. Last edited by Sean; 06-26-2023 at 02:25 PM.

8-year-old me would have been impressed with cards that I wouldn't bother giving the time of day now ('73 Topps McCovey, '79 Topps Brett, '82 Fleer Seaver, etc. etc.).
I'd be impressed by any pre-war card and floored to see multiple T206s in real life. Adult me would be disappointed that 8-year-old me would be less impressed by all the bakery type cards.

It's funny, because my 10 year old nephew is coming for a visit and I wondered how he would react if I showed him some of my collection. He's into baseball, but would he care about the old cards? Or would he only be blow away by cards of newer players he's heard of? I guess I'll find out. Anyone else have that experience with a young relative?

My 8 year old self would say, “ why no Babe Ruth or Gehrig. You’re slacking.”
To which I would reply, “we always liked Mantle, Mays, and Aaron more.”
