Can't say that I have gotten to know any players and have limited experience IP, other than some organized signings in recent years and my batting practice exploits of the early 80s in Seattle. It's funny, but a couple misses are stories I have told before that are more interesting than an actual meeting might have been.
It makes me wish I could have been doing it earlier than the late 70s/early 80s and also wish I would have focused on the signed cards more. Before the internet though and aside from a few shops here and there that required parental agreement/cooperation to visit, it was pretty near impossible for a kid to add anything but pack pulled singles and trades with friends.
