I started collecting cards as way to spend more time with father. He was a die had dodger fan so as way to needle him I started collecting any and everything new york yankee. We were able to share a lot of laughs and alot of great memories. After 15 years I had to liquidate my entire collection to cover his funeral expenses.
I just started thinking about collecting cards again after 11 years away from it. Reading this board has actually helped me find that kid inside again. I think thats the main reason I do it. Its just some pictures on cardboard but they all carry a story.
(sorry if I got off track there)
