Default So What’s Your Story?

Posted By: Sean Coe

Like most kids I collected cards with my friends. Unlike most I never really stopped. My parents gave me the "Sports Collectors Bible " and once I found out there were cards of Cobb and Ruth I was hooked. At first my mother wasn't too thrilled to be toting me around to various shows, watching me spend my hard earned allowance on pieces of cardboard. Gradually she started to enjoy herself. Soon she was advising me on what to buy(T205, T206) and what condition. She would fuss if she thought I was settling for a card in lesser condition, while I would patiently explain that most 75 year old cards wouldn't be in mint shape. To this day she still wants to know about my collecting.
