Test - post a card you have owned a longtime

[tedzan]

If this is a longevity contest, I'm probably the winner

I pulled these cards out of BOND BREAD packages in the Summer/Fall of 1947. I have the complete set 0f 48 cards, so the 1st one may be any one
of these shown here (or any one of the other 42 cards in this set). It was 72 years ago, and I cannot remember which BB player was the first.

This was my first vintage Lefty Grove card. I bought it about 32 years ago in 1987 from a dealer who advertised in the Sports Collectors Digest.

Bought this in a Festberg auction mid to late 1990's

How can I forget about these...

My first T206's, summer of 1991.

Collected junk wax as a kid, this was my first 'real' purchase, 9 years ago now. Being from Atlanta & growing up Braves fan, its my favorite card.

I'm not sure how long I have "owned" this. My Grandpa used Polar Bear tobacco and this was his. We found it along with a Cy Young Portrait and a Joe Kelley (both Polar Bears) in his dresser drawer after he and Grandma passed.

We were NEVER allowed to go into his bedroom and we NEVER knew he had them.

We figured that since he only had daughters and too many grandkiddies, he just kept them rather than try to decide who he should give them to.

They were "given" to me with the proviso that they never be sold - they NEVER will be...

Spectacular card, Scott. I'd trade my first born for that one!

I've posted this before on a similar thread some years ago. Circa 1979...A 1933 Goudey Goslin port from a baseball magazine that had an ad page with a bunch of Goudey cards listed with prices. I was a whale for cards even back then, I think I paid $15 or so for it with lawnmower money. Next time I'll tell the time I had my aunt pay $20 for a vg/e 1959 Topps Early Wynn around 1981....Greg Morris cards just sold a similar one on ebay for $1.40
