Walking into " big league baseball" in 1994 in mobile Alabama and seeing a big thick, glass fire proof glass with a t206 Wagner in it...
I used to look at it for what seemed like hours..
The owner of that shop won a contest by painting a duck and the USPS used it as their duck stamp for years.. He retired, started his own card shop and it was beautiful... Was like a high end jewelry store.
He has high end cards from every sport/memorabilia etc...
The crash got him as well.... I quit, after the crash and in middle school...'so I had other new interests and then pick it back up 20 years later last April while hanging out in the hospital after the birth of my first child.
I found this website by mistake, started reading, and have been hooked ever since.
