As a college student in 1980, I was working on a beautiful condition 1955 Topps set.I went to a show in Secaucus/Meadowlands New Jersey.I brought a small empty box for my purchases.I saw a great deal on a run of 1962-1968 Mets yearbook. I bought them.They were under my arm.I filled my empty box with-as I may remember-Aaron,Williams,Mays,Snider, and a big handfull of commons.With all that under my arms.While walking around, a little 10 year old girl tugged at my shirt from behind. "Mister, I think you dropped this box."

I guess I returned the favor a few months ago. I won a Diamond Star common on ebay. In the bubble envelope was the common, and the most beautiful Greenberg and Ott I ever touched. Owner was happy to have them back.

Although I have had a lot of great experience (and thanks to all) with fellow collectors on this board, I would like to mention Mike Healer especially. The other day we were talking about the hobby in general and what sets and subsets we were focusing on, I happened to mention that I was starting to collect E90-1s. Next thing I knew there was a nice E90-1 Hal Chase in the mail. I think that will cost me quite a few beers at the National. Looking forward to seeing you again, buddy!
